From introducing a pink ottoman bed to jazzing up your bedroom ceiling, read our ideas on how to incorporate this adaptable colour into your sleep space.
The colour pink may conjure up images of sweet little girls’ bedrooms, but it can be a fantastic colour for grown-ups too. In fact, according to colour psychology, pink is ideal for evoking feelings of peace, calm, romance and optimism, making it the perfect bedroom colour choice. With a vast hue range, there is plenty of scope for versatility. Choose soft, pastel peach for a calm and collected bedroom or embrace a bold fuchsia, if you want an energising lift. Whether you choose to invest in a pink ottoman bed or simply add a splash of peach hue, there are several ways of introducing pink into a bedroom.
Make your bed a statement piece
One way of transforming a bedroom is to start with the bed. The first piece of furniture that catches the eye, the bed can be a fabulous opportunity for introducing colour and style. This blush Calexico upholstered bed has a gently scalloped headboard, giving a bedroom a uniquely elegant touch. Alternatively, solve your storage woes with a pink ottoman bed. Featuring chunky cushioned panels, this Aspire Kelly pink ottoman bed has a delicate rose hue and provides an excellent focal point in any bedroom.
If you don’t want to invest in a new bed just yet, experiment with jazzing up the bedding. Try layering different shades of pink with blankets and cushions. A chunky, knitted throw like this blush moss throw, can create a gorgeous rustic effect. Another way of adding a subtle spark of colour is by introducing pink flowers on the bedside table.
Pair up with complimenting colours
What’s great about pink is that it works well with many colours making it highly versatile. Opposites of the colour wheel, green gives pink a calming edge, making it the unique pairing in a bedroom. Accent well with leafy plants, a plush sofa or a bright rug. We love this Hawaii mint side table. Ideal as a bedside table, it’s refreshing mint tone is complemented by its brass ‘socks’ giving it an interesting contemporary twist. Grey also works well with pink. Use striking pendant lights, soft grey sheets or use grey on the walls and add pops of pink with accessories.
If you want to embrace a bold or electric pink you can have fun by adding shades of yellow, red and orange, or white to make the vibrant colours stand out.
Experiment with the ceiling
Keep your walls neutral and mix it up by painting the ceiling a shade of pink. It’s unexpected and cleverly draws a room in to feel cosy and welcoming. Choose a stylish pendant and pair it with light wooden furniture to sustain an easy balance. This oak Kingham dressing table looks stunning against a pink backdrop.
Use bold accessories for a modern bedroom
Adding just a touch of gold can make a bedroom feel modern and sophisticated. A wall-leaning mirror or an accent chair like this Barletta velvet gold armchair gives a contemporary edge and a feeling of warmth, in a pink bedroom.
Experiment with patterns and texture
Adding texture to a room enriches your surroundings, making a bedroom feel inviting and homely. Without it, a room can tend to feel a little flat. Mix up your textiles and introduce different hues of pink. Think rich and cosy rugs, knitted throws, velvet chairs and interesting wall art. Even a plush headboard can add a layer of visual interest.
Create an accent wall
If you aren’t ready to dive into a pink-themed room, dip your toes in instead by creating an accent wall. The perfect solution if you want a quick and cost-effective way of experimenting with a colour, whilst giving you the option of adding more colour over time. The centrepiece of the bedroom and often behind the headboard, an accent wall makes for an eye-catching focal point. Either keep it simple with a shade of pink or add accessories. A shelf, statement artwork or even using textured wallpaper, can achieve a seriously stylish finish.
Whether you choose pastel, earthy or bold, pink is an excellent colour of choice for a bedroom. For further inspiration including pink ottoman beds, bedside tables and soft furnishings, take a look at our incredible bedroom range.
