When we think of red and pink decor, our imaginations tend to conjure up nightmarish and tacky Valentine's Day themed scenarios — but don't be so quick to judge.

Surprisingly, the passionate duo can actually be quite modern and chic. From velvet upholstery to floral motifs, we've found 13 stunning and inspiring ways that you can combine red and pink into your beautifully modern abode.

If you're still feeling uneasy about this rosy-hued color palette, try it out in a small space first. A little powder room like this one presents the perfect opportunity to dabble with the unique color combo before going all in on your living room.
