Too often, decorating a pink room is limited to girls' bedrooms. This, we think, is a waste of a wonderful color that needn't be solely thought of as feminine. In fact, used well, pink can be elegant, sultry, as an accent, as an enveloping shade, and even in a living room.
If you are considering pink room ideas, it is worth seeking expert advice first, precisely because it isn't the easiest color to get right if you are aiming for sophistication despite being named the most beautiful color for a room. Luckily, interior architect and designer – and a big fan of pink – Natalia Miyar shares her tips for putting a sophisticated spin on decorating with pink.
Here, she reveals how to wow with when decorating a pink room.
Decorating a pink room
'Pink is one of my preferred colors to use for a scheme,' says Natalia. 'For my own London apartment, I chose a pink palette, partly because it presents something of a challenge, which I like,' she says.
'In the wrong hands, it can look twee, and I was keen to show a version that represents the glamor we create for our clients, something which is deeply personal and perhaps a bit more adventurous.'
1. Layer different tones of pink for interest and character

Layering different tones of pink can create a rich scheme that's characterful and intriguing – and Natalia says that bold shades of pink can add drama to dining room ideas.
'Think about mixing and matching different shades of pink, too; baby pink dining room chairs with more vibrant lampshades, say, or a cerise bed frame with peach linens,' she advises.
2. Use pink as a neutral

For Natalia, the palest lick of pink works well as an alternative base for a room. 'I love using pink as a neutral; it's much more interesting than beige or taupe. I designed the living room in my home solely around this shade. There is something very comforting about it and the warm tones feel especially cozy on a chilly day.'
To create a cohesive look with pink living room ideas, choose similar hues for furniture and textiles. The silk velvet sofa is Natalia's own design and the shaggy silk rug by Sinclair Till is in subtle shades of pink and cream.
Natalia recommends starting small and adding layers of interest through accessories or artwork. The latter was used in her living room as a starting point for the entire scheme.
'The color composition of the artwork over the sofa by Cuban artist Gustavo Acosta directly influenced the palette I chose. The pink Havana skyline creates a beautiful accent and brings everything together.'
Deep layers of pink from the artwork to the furniture add warmth to this living room.
3. Combine pink with punchy patterns

One of Natalia's go-to tricks for ensuring that decorating a pink room feels contemporary and fresh is by contrasting it with other colors in unexpected ways. For instance, in a recent project, she paired pink and navy on a vibrant patterned headboard.
'I love to use clashing graphic prints that are anchored in a subtle theme. Here, the bed is the anchor of the room and you can have fun with pattern as it is a relatively small expense.'
For a softer approach to print, consider modern blooms on textiles, such as cushions or curtains instead.
4. Use deep, earthy pink for a cocooning feel

As somewhere that people pass through rather than linger, the hallway lends itself to bold colors that make a real impact. For her own hallway, Natalia chose a shade of raspberry red to introduce the pink theme in an elegant manner.
'It is not a color I have used before and I tested six shades before deciding on this one,' she recalls. 'I wanted to feel like I was stepping into a different space that was unique and distinctly home. Guests always remark on the color and I hope I have inspired a few of them to try something new. '
5. Decorate with pink accents

To anyone wary of decorating with pink as a hero color, Natalia recommends starting small and adding layers of interest through accessories or artwork. Here, the details are more evident when contrasted with the charcoal walls.
Which shade of pink should I choose for my room?
The shade of pink you choose for your room depends on a number of factors: the orientation and nature of the daylight the room receives – warm or cool; the time of day you use the room – and whether in daylight or under artificial light; the effect you want to create – light and airy or warm and cocooning; and the use of the room. Warm, deep pinks will make a room feel cozier and welcoming, but darker and smaller; lighter shades will enhance space but make the room feel cooler.
Before you choose the shade of pink for your room, it's vital to test out different tones, on all four walls, at all times of day and the evening. That way, you can pick the perfect color. Remember that as paint dries, it generally darkens, so leave your judgement until you have a couple of tester coats on, fully dry.
Interior designers have started using pink more and more recently, with deep earthy shades with a hint of raspberry or orange matched with earthy shades being on-trend pinks to decorate with. These deep, earthy pinks are generally being matched with neutrals and naturals – honey beige and warm browns, creamy whites and even black.
Interior designers are also using pink within natural materials, such as veined marble, in table- and countertops in kitchens and bathrooms, living rooms and bedrooms.
What colors go with pink?
Most colors go with pink but if you want to create a sophisticated look, stick to decorating with pink and natural shades, especially earthier tones, such as warm brown and cinnamon. Other colors that go with pink and look elegant include black, dark blue, deep green and orange.
Think about the tone of the pink too – and match that tone to those of your other colors, rather than, say, combining an earthy pink with a cool pastel blue, for example.
As a trained architect Natalia Miyar approaches design with a skilful understanding of balance and proportion, creating spaces which are both considered and lively with a finely tuned eye for materiality. Her eponymous London atelier is a conduit for creative collaboration characterized by a confident and artful use of color, pattern and texture. With bases in London and Miami the fast-growing transatlantic team spearheaded by Natalia create effortlessly luxurious homes that are sought by a global stable of private clients favouring a client-faced approach.

Basic rules for using pink
Pink is considered one of the most insidious, because not everyone is able to apply it correctly. We will give you tips on how to successfully combine pink with other colors and create a truly stylish room.
Making the room the envy of others
According to psychology, color is considered a symbol of femininity, friendliness, love, tenderness, romance and passion. It causes the inhabitants of the house a feeling of peace and comfort, helps to relax after a hard day and get rid of obsessive thoughts.
This shade is appropriate in the design of any room and gives great opportunities to express your design taste.
Induces a feeling of peace and comfort
Follow the simple rules of its use, and you will succeed:
- Use of optical illusions . Pink paints can make it more voluminous and airy. If you paint the walls in a light pink shade, the room will seem more spacious and bright. The same applies to the walls of the bathroom or toilet - the right strawberry shade will expand a small room. Ordinary old furniture, such as a table, painted in this color will sparkle in a new way and will seem larger, but not massive.
- Color temperature . There are an incredible number of beautiful shades - from soft pink and ash pink to lavender and coral. A tea rose or salmon shade will help make the room feel cozier and warmer, while fuchsia pieces will energize and uplift you. So it all depends on your end goal.
- Correct combinations . The pinkish shade you have chosen is not a guarantee of the expected result. Properly dilute it and combine with other colors. For example, a room consisting entirely of two colors - pink and gray - will look boring and will quickly tire you out. Choose bright shades for individual interior elements, combine them with beige, white and other tones.
- General style . This color can successfully decorate a room of various styles. For example, for a retro style, a combination of pink, turquoise, black, orange and white is suitable. Muted tones will fit perfectly into the classic or Provencal style.
- Color measure . The key to a good interior is moderation in everything - color, furniture, lighting, etc. Use only one shade for an accent and two more for the main decor. Before making your final choice, make sure they match well with each other. For example, purple and coral will not find a "common language" even in the interior of the bathroom.
Colors should be in moderation in the room

The spectrum of this color boasts many beautiful options, among which we will highlight the following:
- Salmon is a noble and "adult" tone that has a slight brownish sheen. Looks good in any room, in particular the bedroom and office.
- Carmine is another in-between red, pinkish and brown. Quite deep and rich, often found in the interior in the English style. Recently, designers have successfully combined it in modern style.
- Persian pink - good for a bedroom or children's room, very delicate and romantic. Combined with cold tones, it makes the room more calm and soft.
- Fuchsia is a bright and daring color that most teenagers like. It looks good in a minimalist interior, plays as a contrasting color. The abundance of fuchsia will not help to achieve inner harmony and relax after work or study.
- Nude is a good base for bedroom or living room walls. It pleases the eye and symbolizes restraint and taste. Creates coziness, looks good with brighter tones.

Let's take a closer look at the use of this color in different rooms. Where does it look best?
In the living room
When decorating the living room, we recommend that you take a closer look at these popular and successful options:
Pink and white living room
This classic combination will make the most important room of the house incredibly light and bright. Even the smallest room, made in a tandem of pink and white, will seem spacious and voluminous. A snow-white-pink combination is often used for a minimalist style.
Please note that such an interior may soon get pretty boring. To prevent this from happening, forget about the bright pink color and use only pastel colors, complementing with a soft raspberry, cream or creamy shade.
The living room will become airy and romantic, it will be a real salvation for women who are prone to depression and occupy a stressful position. To please men, you can dilute the marshmallow living room with black, chocolate or blue accents.
Spacious pink and white living room
Pink and beige living room
Beige will help create a peaceful atmosphere in a room designed for family gatherings and receiving guests. It successfully combines with the “doll” base, muffling its excessive glamour. Thus, interior paints will create a peaceful atmosphere.
Bright colors are unacceptable for this design - preference is given to muted tones, as if faded in the sun. These include powdery, light salmon, tea rose color. To emphasize the described pastel colors of the walls, use beige, chocolate, or white furniture. It is best to leave the ceiling white, add as many wooden products as possible to the interior. Golden, bronze and caramel accessories emphasize the overall style of the living room. If you choose blue or turquoise curtains, the living room will take on a complete look. This combination will be appropriate in a classic and Provencal interior, as well as in baroque and country style.
Peaceful atmosphere in a pink and beige room
Pink and gray living room
Do you want to recreate modern, vintage or retro style? The perfect color choice would be a combination of gray and pink. This combination allows you to make the room more masculine or more feminine. It is worth adding more gray tint - and the room will become more elegant and restrained.
Gray goes well with any marshmallow shade. You choose whether you want to create a living room in warm or cold colors.
The perfect combination of gray and pink
Contrast living room
Add spring freshness and the feeling of a blooming garden with a green and pink combination. Peach, raspberry, dark emerald and turquoise also work well with our main shade. You can adjust the brightness to your liking - young people will most likely choose a deep pinkish tone combined with bright green colors, while respectable people will prefer smoky pink and soft green tone.
It is not necessary to combine these combinations only on the decoration of the room. It can be decorated in white or beige, while furniture and accessories will stand out.
Adjustable contrast
Bright living room
Pink is widely used to recreate ethnic motifs. If you want an Arabic, Mexican, Indian or Moroccan style living room with a passionate southern touch, use colorful ornaments.
For example, raspberry or rich purple can be combined with completely incompatible, at first glance, tones. They can be emerald, turquoise, orange colors.
If you want to create a bright Art Nouveau room, furniture or accessories in acid pink shades will come in handy. Remember the importance of the size of the room - the smaller it is, the smaller the ornament should be. Bright pink is so eye-catching that even in a neutral beige or white room, two or three accents will create the impression of a completely pink room.
Don't forget the dimensions of the room
In the bathroom
Taking the risk of painting your bathroom in pink will make it not only bright, but also very modern, exclusive and stylish. If you are not one of the very romantic natures who fall into delight with one marshmallow shade, use cold tones. They do not create a feeling of cloying and puppetry, while filling the room with pleasant coolness, tenderness and a feeling of cleanliness.
Bold design
The first pink bathrooms appeared in the thirties in the USA. However, they only came into fashion in the fifties thanks to the wife of then President Eisenhower. The example of her doll bathroom was followed by many housewives who wanted to decorate their rooms in the same style. Over time, they were replaced by blue and green bathrooms, but in our time, demand has skyrocketed again.
The best bathroom combination ideas:
- lime;
- silver;
- light green;
- brown;
- black;
- white;
- lilac.
The perfect combination for the bathroom
Add one of these shades to control the feminine touch of a pink room. Intense pink will contrast perfectly with white plumbing and brown floors. The combination of white and creamy pink will make the room really cozy.
Gray or silver is a versatile shade that complements the basic colors of the bathroom. He will make her noble and elegant.
If you complement the bathroom with metal fittings, the effect will be more impressive.
Complementing with metal fittings
Tip
If you chose a very bright tone, combine it with black. The resulting combination will be quite dramatic and masculine, so men will definitely like it. Lilac also plays well with pink.
Blue-pink or orange-pink colors can be distinguished among unsuccessful bathroom combinations.
Also be careful with the addition of yellow paints - only muted shades will do.
Advice
Place moisture-loving flowers in your "girly" bathroom - juicy rich greenery will enliven the design of the room.
Enrich your bathroom with fresh flowers
When decorating your bathroom, don't forget about accessories. Observe color proportions so as not to overdo it with one of the base colors. If you want to install bright pink bathroom fixtures, the walls of the bathroom should be decorated in a neutral way - in white, beige or cream.
White furniture enhances the sophistication of the interior
If you have enough space in the room and decorate it in a glamorous style, it would be appropriate to put a snow-white floor vase. A mirror with a soft strawberry edging will enliven the bathroom. The accent can be shifted to an ornate chandelier - the main thing is to choose the right size. Well, the final touch will be the patterned rugs located at the bath and toilet.
Have you heard of the shabby chic style? It is applicable to the bathroom and provides for the predominance of pink delight with white accents. It is best to choose tiles in cool pinkish tones, leave the ceiling white or paint it in pale pink.
A thick shower curtain with stripes or a white-pink pattern completes the overall range.

Unusual but beautiful
In the hallway
One of the popular stereotypes is that pink decoration is appropriate only for a little girl's room. The palette of this color is so diverse that it can be used everywhere, even in the hallway.
Tip
If you decide to use it as a base, go for soothing pastels. This is especially appropriate in a small corridor without natural light. Choose from peach, smoky and steel shades.
This color can be used even in the hallway
Pink does not like bright chandeliers, so disperse the lighting around the entire perimeter using LEDs and spotlights.
Soft and diffused light will make the hallway very cozy. Based on the specifics of the room, you can paint the walls in two shades - the lower part is gray so that the walls do not rub off, and the upper and pale pink. Or wallpaper with an unobtrusive pattern with a pink accent.
If wall decoration in this color seems too extravagant for you, leave it classic - white, beige, gray, light brown. Purple accessories and textiles will be an interesting solution. For example, against the background of snow-white walls, a salmon closet will effectively stand out.
Use bright accessories
Do you have a window in the hallway? Light pink curtains made of light fabric, freely letting in the sun's rays, will dilute the monotonous room, and a pair of sconces with the same lampshade will complete the picture.
By the way, the pink lampshade will perfectly fit into the pink hallway. The light transmitted by them will be as if smoky.
A vase with natural flowers or a decorative floor vase will be the finishing touch.
