Wall paint pink: colourful ideas

The effect of pink as a wall paint

Pink covers shades from the rose-pink family. Not every rose-pink counts as a true pink, though. Only rose with a blue undertone does, and its intensity draws every eye in the room. Pastel shades such as soft pinks tend to be gentle and balancing, which makes them lovely in a bedroom. A coat of pink as an interior paint gives you a cheerful, stimulating atmosphere instead.

If you love bold colours, pink wall paint is a great way to give your home a personal makeover. Pink brings energy and a cheerful feel, and despite its blue undertones, it makes a room feel inviting. If you love rose but find soft pastel pinks too girly and gentle, pink wall paint is just right for you. By the way, pink on a single wall combines beautifully with soft pink on the other surfaces. That adds extra warmth to the room.

Which rooms suit pink wall paint?

A pink wall makes a strong statement, so use this shade in rooms that are very large and bright, or in a small room where you don't spend much time, such as a guest loo. Paint one wall in your loo with Pink with Peony and perhaps add one of the MissPompadour non-woven wallpapers, and the wow factor is guaranteed!

Using such a strong colour always takes a delicate touch and a good eye for colour. If you decide to paint your walls pink, a clever combination with other shades can create an ambience full of elegance and interesting depth of colour.

A pink accent wall in the living room or kitchen

A coat of a bold shade like pink is perfect for a single wall or a section of wall. The best way to support such intense shades is with companion colours in soft, fairly neutral hues. That way, wall paints in vibrant pink conjure up an appetite-stimulating atmosphere with a very special effect in your kitchen or dining room. In the same way, pink wall paint can also work well in your kitchen or living space.

Pink wall paint for kids' rooms

The "pink phase" is a phenomenon many parents know well: girls (and boys too) are often magically drawn to this colour. This intense colour is already well represented in many children's rooms through toys, clothes and decorative items. Vibrant pink wall paint is therefore best used as an accent. Paint the room in a friendly, light soft pink and add highlights in pink with a MissPompadour stencil.

Styling and combining pink with elegance

Pink is a wall paint that leaves nobody cold and instantly draws every eye. With clever combinations, a pink wall can look very elegant. Grey shades from the softest tones to anthracite, a slightly tinted white, and accents in black can all enhance the elegant look of a pink wall. For example, Pink with Grey paired with Grey with Morning Dew makes a refined, warm wall design. Chrome or silver also goes well with this expressive colour. And last but not least, shades of soft pink harmonise beautifully with this interesting colour.

With pink on the wall, furniture, upholstery and soft furnishings can happily be black too. A cool soft pink on textiles works wonderfully. Furniture made of glass or acrylic glass underlines the modern look of pink walls.
