That said, in my experience as a designer, I find that clients are cautious about incorporating pink. They not only worry that it’s too bold, but they’re also unsure what to pair it with. But fear no more. Here are five of my favorite colors to use with pink, and tons of inspirational images that rock the combos.
Pink with black is one of my all-time favorite color pairings. Black is impactful and dramatic, and it can create lushness and depth when used with pink.
Paired with pinks of any shade, black grounds and balances the energetic, happy feel that pink brings to a space.
A hot and vibrant pink, like the one used on this sofa, might seem like a bold choice, but when you add in black, the room balances out. This is especially true in rooms that have a lot of other neutral pieces, as seen here.
If you’re looking to give your neutral room a more vibrant look, a few touches of pink and black will do the trick.
You don’t need a lot of pink to make an impact.
Using pink flowers, for example, is an easy, beautiful and highly effective way to enliven a space with a dark or simple color palette.
Flowers also allow the palette to be changed from week to week, making them the least expensive room makeover around.
Textiles are another fairly easy element for introducing pink to a space.
This predominantly black wallpaper is accented simply and beautifully with the addition of a pink towel and matching pink blooms. The feel is dark, lush and dramatic, yet also comfortable and fun.
The combination of pink and teal has come a long way in recent years. While in the past it often read as childish, today there are countless bold and beautiful ways these two color gems are being combined.
Pink looks good with muted shades such as gray, especially grays that are smooth, calm and neutral. Together, pink and gray create a welcoming and comfortable feel.
Beyond pillows, consider pink-patterned furniture. An overall gray room is a great place to mix things up and try new pieces.
When it comes to color and design, I truly believe that anything goes. While you want to be sure to have an overall vision and color scheme for your space, I think we should feel free to mix and match what we like.Any colors can “go together” when curated in the right way, which is why I believe that (for the most part) clashing is a thing of the past. Pink with red is a perfect example of this.
Any shades of pink and blue can be used in combination for a vibrant home space.
In a light or neutral space, pink and blue can unite on bedding, pillows, throws or art.
Pink and blue also mix well with other colors to create an even more colorful space.
These vibrant blue chairs and the pink throw pillows make the room feel as happy as can be. The designer expanded the palette by adding a multicolor geometric wallpaper and an orange rug.
