Blue and pink is shaping up to be one of summer’s prettiest colour combinations — and Habitat's £8 tray offers an easy, affordable way to tap into the trend.
Modern but playful, the harlequin tray combines a baby pink rim with a blue diamond pattern, striking the perfect balance between fun and sophisticated. Styled on a shelf, bedside table or coffee table, it adds an instant pop of colour without the expense or commitment of redecorating an entire room.
Habitat Habitat Harlequin Blue Trinket Tray
Measuring 25.6cm wide, it’s ideal for anyone seeking a handy place to store loose trinkets. Whether used for jewellery on a bedside table or keys in a hallway, this pretty but practical tray is a stylish way to keep clutter at bay.
The tray is also a subtler take on the harlequin trend, which has been steadily gaining popularity in interiors over the past few years. Rather than using a bold block pattern, its design is made up of delicate blue lines, which beautifully complement the wavy pink rim.
Blue and pink have been having something of a moment this summer. From the soft shades on Olivia Rodrigo’s new album cover, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, to the bolder colours found in the Love Island villa, we’ve been seeing this colour combination appearing across interiors and pop culture alike.
Blue and pink combinations are already appearing across the high street. Sofology’s spring/summer living room set-up pairs a jewel-toned blue sofa with a colourful mix of pink cushions for a look that feels fun, confident and slightly luxe. Furniture Village, meanwhile, offers a softer take on the trend, styling a blush pink bed frame against a gentle blue wall.
It works because blue and pink strike a careful balance: blue brings a cool, calming quality, while pink stops the scheme from feeling too serious. Together, they create a look that feels soothing, playful and easy to live with.
For those seeking to commit even further to the colour trend, we’ve created a roundup of pretty blue and pink products available to buy now…
