Dolly Parton is not one to shy away from bright colors in her wardrobe, so it's no surprise that vibrant hues make an appearance in her (set) kitchen.
However, that's not to say that they aren't versatile. The country music legend recently shared a post in a white-painted kitchen, which gets pops of personality thanks to some bright pink accessories, including cups, cake stands, and cookware.
When decorating with pink, this pairing with white is clearly a winning combination, providing contrast and subtlety in equal measure.

According to experts, pink is highly compatible with most neutrals, including white, as they complement pink's powerful nature without distracting from it.
'Pink's versatility shines when paired with neutral tones like white, beige, and gray,' explains designer Nina Lichtenstein. 'These shades allow pink to be the focal point while maintaining a calm and balanced atmosphere. For example, a blush pink throw pillow on a charcoal sofa creates a striking yet soothing contrast.'
Pink's benefits are wide-ranging, depending on the choice of shade; dusty roses and paler hues give a room a relaxing feel, while brighter ones energize a space.
'Pink, in all its forms, brings warmth and softness to a room, often creating an inviting, nurturing environment,' Nina explains.
'Lighter shades like pale pink and peach can promote a relaxed, tranquil atmosphere. On the other hand, more intense pinks, such as fuchsia or magenta, bring vibrancy and energy to a space, making them ideal for social areas where liveliness and conversation are encouraged.'
We particularly love how Dolly's glass-fronted cabinets allow the pink glasses and dishes to really pop, while their white painted exterior provides a delightful contrast.
Try experimenting with different shades of pink glassware, pink dishes, or even pink kitchen appliances for a bold look. Needless to say, implementing these accessories is a fantastic way to make a white kitchen more interesting. Plus, we could never argue with Dolly.
