The iconic Sketch London’s famous dining room changed the color and shift from the traditional millennial pink. Is that the end of the color?
When we think about the London-based famous restaurant, Sketch, the first image that comes to our minds is their Millennial Pink scheme. Although, after renovations, the Instagram-famous Gallery left its pink era behind and open to the public totally different by the hands of the British- Nigerian artists Yinka Shonibare CBE and the project architect India Mahdavi turning the space solar literally.
The vision from both artists complement each other and the results could be spotted – a bright and solar yellow set a mark on the “culture-defining chapter” for the restaurant that currently counts 20 years of existence.
Along with the different color scheme, Sketch now has 13 new site-specific design by Yinka Shonibare that embraces and celebrates African culture named Modern Magic. That work complements the space with copper walls and yellow fabrics to create a brand new atmosphere to the space aiming to create a huge wave on social media.

Is this the end of the Millennial Pink?
This big change mark not only a new image of the restaurant but also marks a celebratory year of it. However, this big shift makes us reflex upon it and think: Is this the end of this color? This article will show you some points that some experts brought out before we change our all painting ideas entirely from one day to another.
According to Nadia McCowan Hill, Wayfair’s resident style advisor, this shift from pink to yellow on Sketch is a natural shift for 2022. She explained that the yellow is the new sweetheart of the industry passing the color and becoming quickly a peak of this year’s interior design trends and, in her perspective, it came to stay.
In fact, Nadia said this color was the pastel of the decade, bringing its rosy glow to the design and fashion worlds alike, but in 2022 a new sorbet shade will be a delight on this year’s wardrobes and on the interior. This year brought the need for more fresh and optimist energy which is transversal to the vast list of colors and for instance, different shades of yellow.
Benjamin Moore’s UK director, Helen Shaw also agreed with this movement that came to stay for a good while away from the Millennial Pink. Alongside yellow, the color expert suggested also some softer tones of coral, orange, and soft plaster’ that felt in her grace to create more natural looks.
In her point of view, people are choosing more neutral options and muted pinks with different undertones, such as Venetian Rose Pink, which has grey undertones to create a vintage feel.
While we expect Millennial Pink will never fall out of fashion entirely, Sketch’s renovation opens some doors for different and trendier tones in this year of 2022. What do you think about it?
