Pink bathroom – really?

April 4, 2021 · by Andrew Oliver · in Home maintenenance, Life Style, Market Reports

Pink bathrooms became fashionable in the 1950s because pink was Mamie Eisenhower’s favorite color. At one time it was estimated that there were 5 million pink bathrooms in this country, but they faded almost as fast as they arrived. Pink was swapped for woods and neutrals in the ’60s and the retro oranges and greens of the ’70s. The world simply fell out of love with pink.

Today, there is a resurging interest in the pink bathroom—thanks to the revival of mid-century design and millennials’ love affair with all things retro. An intact pink bathroom is now more of an intriguing design challenge than a renovation project, plus it’s a fun selling point for homeowners and renters alike.

Maybe, but a pink bathroom is not something I would choose.

It was a surprise therefore when, earlier this week, I went into my bathroom and to be confronted with this:

Pink bathroom

But shortly thereafter that wall looked like this:
White bathroom

The culprit? A red towel reflecting the morning sun.

Phew.
