11/21/2020 Read in 5 minutes. In interior design today, pink is becoming an increasingly popular shade. Going beyond the scope of a child's room for a girl and a married bedroom with a boudoir, it appears in the design of the kitchen, on upholstered furniture, wallpaper and curtains, as well as in bathroom interiors. Let's look at this using examples from the portfolio of the Fundament Group of Companies.
Color Features
The main quality of this delicate color is its ability to calm; even in a state of strong excitement, it will help you relax and reduce stress. The color range is multifaceted, from delicate white pastels to dark lilac and purple-pink. It is not found so often in renovations and decorations, but it looks impressive. The best combination can be considered with white color, it makes the pink tone softer and brightens the room.

Which ones should you be careful with?
Pink with blue
These are recognized “antipodes”, so you need to be extremely careful with their combination. An exception is the design of a children's room for children of different sexes. Only there it is really justified and looks successful.

Pink with black
A bold mix, but not everyone can make interiors in such colors look vulgar. You can and should add wood and white tones.

Pink with orange
This combination is common in the oriental style and, perhaps, is justified only in this case. Today, oriental accents are very relevant, but it is important not to overdo it - add them in doses in textiles and patterns. For example, the option in the photo is rather an anti-standard.

Ideas in the interior of rooms
Living room
Bright colors, various combinations and any style will be appropriate for decorating the hall. Pink wallpaper is usually used in various combinations:
- all walls are covered with the same color,
- bright pink decoration of one of the walls,
- photo wallpaper or drawing.
The most calm design would be in a gray-pink or beige-pink palette. For a harmonious image of the room, it is better to use the shade in details, such as furniture trim, curtains or wall fragments.
Kitchen
Wall decoration can be decorated with photo wallpaper or a combination with another complementary tone. You can also decorate the kitchen apron area with pink. Another design option would be a kitchen set made of delicate or, on the contrary, bright colors.
It is better to decorate small kitchens with a light palette or a combination of pink and white.

Bedroom
A pink-white or pink-gray palette in pastel colors will give the interior of the room softness and ease, make it romantic and fill it with light. The walls are often decorated with plain wallpaper or with a small floral print. You can also make a combination of several colors and patterns.
In addition to decoration, pink is used as room filling, such as furniture or textiles.
A pink bed will become the main object in the bedroom, and curtains or decorative items can match the color.
In the photo, the wall at the head of the bed is partially finished by painting it in a bright shade and decorated with a minimalist shelf.
Children's
The best interior solution for a girl's children's room. Both a delicate pastel tone and a juicy caramel shade look good.
In a girl's teenage room, a composition of different shades is often used - a stylish combination of pink and gray, a bold combination with shades of blue, or voluminous 3D wallpaper.
Bathroom
A soft pink shade will decorate a classic interior, and inserts with drawings or patterns will support the thematic direction of the room. Bright shades can be used partially in the form of finishing one of the walls as an accent wall or as independent elements of the interior. The vintage pink bathtub looks original.

Hallway
A corridor or hallway in pink can be complemented by a light-colored artificial stone finish or a fresco. The interior will be associated with warm countries. Another finishing option could be a pink floor with imitation marble.
Using pink in different rooms
Pink can be used in almost any room. The main thing is to introduce it correctly into the interior. This tone does not like too bright chandeliers, so it is better to distribute lighting systems around the entire perimeter. Soft, diffused light will make the room cozy.
Bathroom
Pink is quite suitable for the bathroom, especially in combination with gray, peach, blue, and white. Mirrors in the bathroom will look great: the pink color is reflected especially beautifully in them, giving a delicate tonality. In a large bathroom, you can decorate two walls with a pinkish finish; in a small one, it is better to use this shade for accent decoration on a white background.
Kitchen
Pale pink in the kitchen is conducive to intimate gatherings and improves appetite. This can be a problem: against the background of such airy decor, the craving for sweets increases. But the overall atmosphere will be cheerful, especially when diluting the color of the rose with bright tones: green, blue, orange.
You can decorate only the dining area in pink, and decorate the working area with a different, more modest color, for example, wood, coffee, or beige. The wall covering does not have to be monochromatic: pink designs on the wallpaper, flowers and intricate ornaments are quite appropriate in the kitchen. Kitchen facades in pink tones rarely look good; it is better to use only a dark crimson palette for partial finishing of furniture. But the tiles of the kitchen apron may well have all shades of pink, with it the room will sparkle with new colors.
Bedroom
In this room, pink and its shades will be very appropriate. Even a man will love decorating the room in muted pink-beige, pink-peach tones, pastel and ash shades. A glossy white stretch ceiling is perfectly complemented by a composition of photo wallpaper on one wall and modest plain wallpaper on the other walls. If the ceilings are low, it is better to use light companion wallpaper to provide a zoning effect for the space.
In the bedroom, rose-colored accessories and textiles would be an interesting solution. For example, curtains or tulle can have an ornament of the same shade as photo frames, paintings, vases, candlesticks and candles, interior figurines and decorations. A salmon pink wardrobe or chest of drawers looks original in a bedroom decorated in vintage style.
Living room
The optimal solution is to create a cool pinkish background in the living room, complementing it with furniture in wood, gray, white, and beige shades. If the walls are brighter, the rest of the furnishings should be contrasting and as light as possible. In Indian style, pink and orange colors are combined in the living room. To add aristocracy, the shade of rose is combined with lavender and mint tones.
Children's
Pink color is widely used when decorating girls' bedrooms. Of course, you can make the decoration or furniture bright, bringing the interior closer to the “Barbie doll style,” but more often than not, such an environment quickly gets boring. It is better not to introduce a lot of saturated tones, but to give preference to those that can soothe, evoke a feeling of magic and tenderness. The base color should be pastel or pale pink, and for rich shades, set aside a play corner or use them in accessories.
Hallway
Decorating a corridor with a shade of rose is not common. Although the palette of pink colors is rich, you can find a suitable one even for this room. It is better to choose calm tones: pastel, with a hint of peach, haze in combination with gray or steel colors. To illuminate the corridor, it is worth using LEDs and spotlights: soft light will make a windowless room very cozy.
Style selection
Modern
When decorating an interior in a modern style, the lightest and deepest saturated colors will look equally harmonious. You can partially decorate the walls with images of geometric shapes or photo wallpapers. The furniture has straight lines. As for the material, both natural and artificial components are used.

Classic
For a classic room, a discreet dusty pink or pastel shade is suitable. Finishing with plain wallpaper will look harmonious in a duet with furniture of smooth shapes. The materials chosen are predominantly natural.
Shabby chic and vintage
Shabby chic interiors are full of delicate colors and cozy details. Light pink will be the most suitable option; it should be used in the decoration of walls, furniture, textiles and decorative items.
For a vintage interior, a pink shade is ideal as accents. For example, a vintage smoky pink chest of drawers with beautiful metal handles or an easy chair upholstered in powder-colored velvet.
Provence
The Provence style is distinguished by the elegant coziness of French country houses. The interior is light and airy, with a touch of antiquity. In a Provence room, light pastel shades would be appropriate. For example, painted walls in ash pink, a wooden kitchen set or curtains with a floral pattern.
Scandinavian
Scandinavian style is most often decorated in a light palette, the main tone of which is white. Finishing and filling are made from natural materials. The pink shade is well suited for decorative elements and partial decoration.
Choosing a shade
Even if you are not a fan of color, everyone can choose the appropriate option among the entire pinkish palette. So, rich pink (Barbie color, magenta, fuchsia, purple and others) will be an ideal solution for decorating a girl’s nursery, but only within reasonable limits, since the abundance of brightness will not look aesthetically pleasing.
Also, crimson, terracotta or dark pink are suitable for a bedroom set, but in kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms these paints are recommended to be used only for accents.
In other cases, designers advise choosing a shade of soft pink furniture from among the win-win options:
- Plain pastel colors (white-lilac, beige-pink, peach, mother-of-pearl, carnation, lilac, salmon, rose ash);
- Muted pink with apricot tint;
- Cornflower blue tone with pinkness.

Finishing
Walls
Wall decoration in several colors remains relevant, thereby also adjusting the space.
- For a classic interior, a combination of pink and beige is suitable.
- For a modern, Scandinavian and minimalist interior, combinations of pink with gray and white, as well as photo wallpapers, for example with images of roses, are suitable.

Floor
Carpet will decorate and eliminate unnecessary noise from a children's room, living room or bedroom. Floor slabs with imitation marble deserve special attention; they look very impressive even in small rooms. Suitable for corridor, living room and kitchen.
Ceiling
A suspended ceiling made of plasterboard allows you to recreate a multi-tiered structure of an unusual shape, and thanks to the tension fabric, you get a perfectly flat surface, which can also visually enlarge the space due to the glossy material. An interesting idea would be to decorate with wallpaper with photo printing, for example, a pink sky with snow-white clouds.

Doors
Doors of a non-standard color will become an elegant detail of the interior. They can overlap with other objects, such as light pink window frames.
Bathroom
The bathroom is located in the second semicircle and occupies almost 4 meters. This area was enough to fit all the necessary things: a toilet, a washbasin, storage systems, a bathtub, a dryer and a mirror.
The secret of this room lies in the functional combined furniture, which helped to fit everything you need in the bathroom. For example, this is a hanging cabinet, the doors of which are designed like a mirror, as well as a combined washbasin and drawers. Due to the snow-white color and suspended design of furniture and plumbing fixtures, the room seems larger and more spacious.
The bathroom also combines various finishing materials, which make the room more interesting. Here the designers used patchwork tiles, highlighting the bathtub area, gray porcelain tiles and relief mosaic tiles in the toilet area.
Here pink is presented only in textiles: a fluffy rug, bathrobe and towel.
The cost of the design project for this one-room apartment is 29,990 rubles . You can learn more about the layout, design solutions, furniture used and finishing materials in our statement.
Furniture
Sofa
The sofa is the main piece of furniture in the living room; it can fit succinctly into the overall interior or become an object of attention due to its color and shape.
- A light palette, such as a gray-pink combination, will complement a modern, light room design.
- Rich shades, such as fuchsia, will look good in a minimalist design as a bright accent.

Bed
A light pink wooden or wrought iron bed will add a touch of romance and tenderness to the interior. A good option for a bedroom in classic, shabby chic and Provence style. A bright tone will look impressive on velvet or leather upholstery with the addition of decorative elements.
Closet
An antique wooden cabinet can turn into a real work of art if it is restored and painted in a beautiful and unusual color. In addition, sliding doors for a wardrobe can have almost any shade or mirrors with patterns.
Armchairs and chairs
Armchairs and stools, just like other pieces of furniture, can stand out in the overall picture or support the overall style. The duo looks interesting with a sofa and armchairs of excellent color.

Living room decoration
Initially, you need to weigh everything and specifically decide on the shades, and also take into account the area, ceiling height, what style of design you plan to use, and what lighting to use.
List of nuances:
- If the living room has a small area, up to 20 square meters, then you should use light shades, such as purple-pink, pastel or pigskin color. If the square meters are more than 20, then you can use brighter colors: American or Georgian pink, carmine pink or Persian. Graphite goes well with rich pink.
- About illumination. How much light the room receives depends on the location of the windows: north or south. If the windows face south, then the room is illuminated, so you should give preference to discreet tones. In this case, you can use metallic or gray-pink, as well as lavender. These colors will ensure that the interior remains neutral and cool. If the windows from the living room face north, then you should use warm shades here. Bright colors and yellow-pink tones will be optimal.
- About style and character. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the style of the interior taken as a basis. If the style is classic, then it is enough to use discreet tones, and if you want to decorate it in a modern style, then it is recommended to choose rich colors.

This is interesting. To give a feminine style, professionals recommend using soft shades, and if you want to emphasize the masculine principle, then bright colors should be used.
Textile
Curtains
The textile part creates an atmosphere of comfort in the home. Tulle in a soft pink shade will look harmonious both on its own and in combination with thick curtains, for example dirty pink or in a gray-pink combination. For a balcony or office, you can use blinds, and in the kitchen and nursery, Roman blinds or pink-peach curtains will look good.

Carpet
A plain, long-pile carpet will decorate a design in a modern, Scandinavian and minimalist style, and will also fit well into the interior of a children's room. For the classic direction, Provence style, shabby chic, a carpet with short pile and an unusual pattern is more suitable.
Pillows
Cute soft details will decorate the sofa and armchairs in the living room and children's room, as well as the bed in the bedroom. Different shades, shapes and prints in the same theme will combine well and make the interior brighter.
Blankets and bedspreads
A blanket or blanket will complement the overall picture. Shades may overlap with other interior items and decor.
Gray is not always cold
The gray interior still raises many doubts. Choosing this color adds style to any room. But still, gray and brown walls look better in rooms decorated in a strict minimalist style. If you don't want your home to be too cool, consider gray with warmer colors such as beige, brown and pastel pink. One large wall can be painted with an eye-catching gray paint that will look interesting without overpowering the entire interior.
Other walls can be painted in a warm shade, so that the room does not lose its coziness.
Gray walls in the living room are a great idea for people who like frequent changes of mood and environment. This color is the perfect backdrop for all kinds of decorations in the living room - both with traditional characteristics and with very modern ones.
Wooden furniture can look beautiful against a gray background. In combination with glass and steel, it will give the living room an industrial expression, in combination with old-fashioned fabrics it will create a retro-style interior. We have complete freedom for imagination. Gray in the background will beautifully highlight the lines and colors of furniture and accessories. And most importantly, we do not risk that the colors will begin to conflict with each other. This color is so neutral that it is not difficult to choose shades for such a background.
Concrete or its imitation on the walls will give the room a modern industrial character.
If you are afraid of monotony in an interior with gray walls and furniture, you can diversify it with different textures. An excellent addition to matte walls and furniture would be, for example, a mirror, glossy images or an uneven surface.
Decor and accessories
The final stage in creating a room design. Despite the delicate nature of pink, decorative elements and accessories can have a strict form and are suitable for decorating a stylish city apartment. Decor can combine different materials and only become more interesting from this.

The first and main association that is inextricably linked with the pink shade is femininity.

dark pink furniture dilutes the light tone of the room
Muted pink is less annoying because it is more gentle and affectionate. It seems to envelop you in spiritual warmth, soothe you and “stroke” you.
