39 Pink Room Decor Ideas to Use Throughout Your Home

Whether you’re looking for a calming wall color or you want to give your front door an unexpected makeover, a beautiful shade of pink presents a great option. While pink is often associated with little girls’ bedrooms and spring pastels, the color is more versatile than you may think and works in a variety of spaces, from modern to traditional. From soft pastels that set a soothing tone to dramatic magenta and playful fuchsia shades, pink pairs just as well with neutrals as it does with saturated jewel tones.

In addition to using pink on walls, trim, and doors, incorporate it into your home decor through other elements such as bathroom tile, wallpaper, or textiles. Set it against crisp white molding for a sophisticated look or use it on upholstery to liven up a traditional breakfast nook. As you’ll see from the inspiring spaces below, pink is a tried and true timeless favorite that will never go out of style.

Strike a Compromise

Variations on Pink

For a bright take on pink, paint your walls a neutral color, then accessorize with fresh pops of color. Artwork above the fireplace ties into the patterned upholstery on the chairs, while hues of orange add extra vibrancy. A floral arrangement featuring both colors ties the room together.

Sunset Pink

Look to a picturesque sunset for a soothing shade of pink. The soft hue applied to these walls is a serene alternative to its bubble-gum and fuchsia counterparts. Accessories including a brass frame and a patchwork rug create an eclectic meets modern style.

Pink & Patterned

Create a romantic focal point by wallpapering just one wall with a pretty pattern. A pink-on-pink damask wallpaper provides patterned contrast to the other walls in this living room. Painting the walls the same color as the wallpaper’s background provides a seamless transition from wall to wall.

Pretty in Pink

Pink Reinvented

For a variation on basic pink, try magenta. The hue has just a bit of purple in it to steer it in a darker direction. Pair the color with crisp white, gray, and silver accents for a fun yet still feminine look.

Perfect Color Pairing

Elevate sweet pink to the echelons of sophistication by pairing it with grays and crisp white. In this bedroom, a patterned pastel wallpaper colors the walls, and the buttoned headboard and window shades are crafted from a rich gray. The white bedding tempers the rich scheme.

Beautifully Sophisticated

Although often associated with little girls, pastel pink can be a very sophisticated base for a grown-up color scheme. In this dining room, pink pairs with striped upholstery, while an acrylic wall calendar adds a contemporary edge.

Pretty as a Picture

Try pink and green in more muted tones for a formal living room. Sage and rose mix beautifully with wicker furniture, and they blend sinuously in the patterned drapery panels and pillow fabrics that echo the botanical artwork on the walls. A white domed ceiling adds balance while highlighting the unique architecture.

34 of 39

Retro Style

This bathroom embraces a blend of retro style and modernity. Pretty pink-and-white patterned wallpaper and brass detailing pays homage to the 1970s, while a gray and white vanity exudes sleek modern lines. Towels in bright pops of coral tie the two styles together.

35 of 39

Color Coded

The color palette for this enchanting bedroom begins with the walls. Paint in a dusty taupe with whispers of rose instills a feeling of warmth and intimacy. An exquisite duvet cover blushes in shades of pink, while a buttoned headboard adds an interplay of detail at the head of the bed.

36 of 39

Making Waves

Vivid hot-pink walls make this dining room a showstopper. To balance the intensity of the pink, a strip of chair rail divides the wall and adds a swath of white. Chinoiserie-style chairs and an intricate chandelier enliven the room, as do multiple fresh floral arrangements.

37 of 39

Pop-In Pink

Let your color choice provide a perky pep-up in a child’s work area. This space is usually small, so bright color makes a big impact and helps to define the area. Here, a vivid pink patterned wallpaper complements marble artwork and bright drapery.

38 of 39

Earn Your Stripes

If you love pink but prefer a more restrained approach to the color, use various stripes in a home accent, like this rug. Bring in touches of crystal or French metallic gold accents to play off pastel walls and add glamour, as in this gorgeous dining room. Energetic artwork enlivens the space and augments the color scheme.

Beach Inspired

In addition to creating a coastal appeal, a collection of nautical pillows defines the color palette of shell pink, light blue, and navy for this stunning living room. A neutral color base full of rich creams and ivories is punctuated with bright pops of color. The coordinated fabrics and accents carry the beach-inspired theme around the room.
