Pink: The Bold Person's Neutral

I've always sort of unofficially abided by the notion that larger upholstered pieces should be more on the neutral side and one should use pillows and throws to add color and texture. However, if you're a bold person like myself, do you ever really follow the rules?

I love pink and always have. Shouldn't I dress up my sofa in it...

I can still use pillows and throws to tone it down, or accentuate it. I think a set of upholstered chairs would be nice too...

Or even a more understated statement on a pair of stools or coffee table...

The truth is, I'd rather make a statement then follow the rules. In 10 years I might feel differently, but today I'll choose pink.
