It makes sense since pink and blue have been popular in men's fashion for about 10 years now (i.e. - Bill Clinton popularized the pink tie and blue suit more than 10 years ago).

I like the rooms in the first and last pics. those I could easily live with. well done.

When I taught design students, I always cautioned them about the "I hate…" statement and other design edicts. Playing with something that is traditionally known as being "for babies," "is garish," or "viewed as tacky" can be the very playground on which they discover an unexpectedly sophisticated, pleasing, or thought-provoking way of approaching something. The use of a traditionally juvenile palette in the sophisticated ways shown above are a great example -- thanks!

I LOVE pics 1, 3 and 4
the other two look so grown up they remind me of my friends middle aged parents' homes I would visit as a teen.

I think they're neat. NOT in colour scheme at home,so I really couldn't incorporate these colours without redoing everything but I am in love the combo.

I get the weirdest feeling that all of these are colorized black and white photos! (Why do they feel that way to me????)

I hate pink. (Sorry @Kbon, but I really really do!) However pinks this pale are almost OK with me. I think I'd like to see the blues a bit more vivid, though. Turquoise, sapphire, whatever, but not so muted. I see potential, but that "colorized" sensation I'm getting makes these examples not work for me so much...

I LOVE pink and think all of these rooms are lovely. To me, blue is almost a neutral, and it is fun to see the two colors working so well together. There's nothing baby about these rooms at all.

As someone who has had to fight for his masculinity most of his life - I'm drawn to neutral palates (as illogical as that might be.) HOWEVER, photo one is very chic and modern (what a chandelier!), photo four has the colors muted by the wood. For me, the wood pops instead of the pink and blue. Does anyone else feel that way?

yes, the wood pops and the colors become neutrals. I love that room. It may sound weird, but I call them "bruise" colors, and they are colors of certain skies. Also they are the colors of an eye shadow palette I had as a teen.

@SHERRYBINNH: Well, sometimes, you just can't fight that feeling! :)

I love the textures and colours!

The most important design tip to draw away from these photos is the sense of balance. Look at how they all incorporate blue and pink. It's not just blue and pink! There are grays, whites, soft and subtle neutrals that really balance the other colors.

Who was it that said, "Every room should have something ugly and something pink?"

That second image from House Beautiful looks incredibly dated. Makes me think of the 80's when my friend's mom did their entire house in mauve and dusty blue. With geese motifs. Happily the other pictures are edging away from that.

Fell in love with this color combo ever since this AT post, and have decided to use it for my master bedroom when I shack up. I love how clean (and with white, almost fancy) the neutrals make the room look and how interesting & inviting the pinks and blues can be, if you use the right shade.

Navy blue and pink is a great combination. In fact, navy blue and any colour is great. All of these rooms are actually neutral - you could substitute the shots of blue and pink with any colour and they would still look good.

Some of these rooms are lovely.
