Ways to Incorporate Pink in Your Interior Décor: The Colour of Serenity and Femininity

Colour psychology isn’t anything new. We’ve all noticed how certain colours make us feel and the power they have in influencing our surroundings. So, by getting to know more about it you can use it to upgrade your interior décor and make the most of what it can do for your quality of life spent indoors.

Serenity is something most of us modern-day people strive for, especially when we get back home to our safe refuge after a day spent at work or stuck in traffic in a stressful environment. For this reason, colour specialists and designers suggest using neutrals like hues of white and grey, as well as soft blues and greens, so it’s not surprising they’ve long been popular choices for interior decor.

But what if I told you pink is also a colour that shouldn’t be underestimated in this respect? It’s not your typical choice, so if you’re aiming for a unique interior, this is it.

How Can I Add Pink to My Room?

If you’re afraid of going overboard and decorating your entire home with this specific colour, the following ideas might be of help in keeping things harmonious and stylish in certain rooms in your cosy nest.

Introduce Pink Art

Okay, this has got to be one of the safest ways to welcome pink in your abode. You won’t have to splurge too much to find something you like from the range of pink wall art prints and in case you change your mind about the placement later on you can always change things up again. This isn’t the case with a furniture piece or wallpaper, for instance, which is why it’s the best way to start with the pink doses.

This colour is calming, and feminine, and it can evoke pleasant and warm feelings with a sense of comfort – anything and everything you could want in a home colour. Moreover, it’s available in different hues, from the softer to the bolder and more striking so you’ve got plenty of options to choose from and work with. Then there are the various styles that could be a decisive factor as well.

Just because something is trendy doesn’t mean that it would be suitable for you, so before you splurge on a piece of painting or print, ask yourself what speaks more of your personality: is it realistic or abstract style? Are you into pink wall art with flora and fauna, or are you more interested in cityscapes, landscapes, or odd shapes?

Answering this ought to narrow down your options, as much as help you with deciding whether you prefer framed or frameless prints, and whether you’d like to have more artworks in the same or different tones. Once you’ve made your choice, it’s time to hang the artworks on the walls.

Anything works as long as it looks balanced – a gallery wall with various small-sized prints is just as trendy as a wall with large-sized prints for a statement effect. Just be sure to consider your interior size as a whole to avoid overburdening it with too many or too big prints.

Invest in Pink Textures

Much like the fancy pink wall prints, art textures can be the missing pieces you need to call your house a home. They’re useful additions in both a rented home as well as a home you own, so don’t exclude them when it comes to personalising the décor. Again, much like art prints, these elements can help you add pink in small doses, and you can decide what these textures would be.

For some people, investing in a soft pink rug is the solution they need to tie a room together with a subtle yet soothing effect. Others find the help of window treatments, such as curtains, to be the required transformation, and there are those who use the throws and cushions for the sofa as the main ingredients.

Then, there are people like me who use all of these items together and go bold on the pink, even to the point of using pink floral arrangements plus vases, and furniture. Still, you don’t have to be Elle Woods or channel your inner Barbie to properly use the potential of pink textures – just decide what you like and dislike, which items you consider a must in pink, and take it from there.

Be Daring with Pink Furniture

When you add a few pink elements, you can feel the great summer vibes and warmth year-round. On a bigger scale, pink can be added in the form of a furniture piece. Can you imagine the sofa of your dreams in pink? Okay, okay, if you don’t like to push it with the hue, for a start a pink coffee or side table might also do the trick.

In the bedroom, a practical ottoman in this colour could be more than welcome, whereas in the bathroom you can use the usefulness and beauty of accessories such as toothbrush holders, toilet paper holders, soap and shampoo dispensers, and sink trays without the worry it would turn out tacky or exaggerated. If you can splurge on something else, how about you get a statement pink sink or bathtub?

Those who like to take things on the fun side can take matters into their own hands and paint door(s) pink to set the right interior tone. Choose your pink shades, choose the décor elements, and go for it!
