Find Your Colour: Pink

Whether used as a warm ‘neutral’ rather than off-white, as curtains or blinds to add a pop of colour to a space or as the main wall colour in a room, pink is a refreshing, vibrant and fun colour to use when designing a room.

Pair soft, muted pink made to measure curtains and pink made to measure blinds with white walls like Farrow & Ball’s Wimborne White to add a touch of delicacy and femininity to any scheme. For a dramatic and glamorous look pink works well with dark wall colours like Farrow & Ball’s Hague Blue and if you’re looking to create a dusky pink and neutral scheme, paint your walls a soft grey, mocha or taupe.  

The lighter the tone, the more delicate and feminine the effect. Soft and muted pinks are thought to be physically soothing and calming whilst very strong pinks such as fuschia and magenta can be highly stimulating. So it’s important to think about the function of the room before ordering pink curtains, furniture or paint colours. In a bedroom, a paler pink maybe the best option to help create a relaxing environment and a bolder pink may work best in a room used for entertaining to create a vibrant feel. Whichever shade of pink you choose, use it to bring out your personal style and taste.
