We’ve compiled some really easy ways to give your home a pink makeover that will not only add personality to your space but give your interiors additional warmth and a touch of whimsy.
From nearly neutral, pale pastel and dusky tones to explosive accents like bubble gum and raspberry, there's a perfect shade to have you tickled, well, pink. Whether introducing the softest flush or a bold burst of colour, opt for the hues you’ll love for the long haul. Navigate the spectrum through our rose-tinted lens with these pink decorating ideas.
Add definition and drama to a space with strategic lashes of colour that highlight architectural contours or period features. Contrasting shades of pink can be used to glamorous effect in a room, with a soft candyfloss given a sophisticated edge when flanked by a deep plum tone.
Use the darker, more energetic shade in moderation to enhance its impact, here cleverly used to highlight areas where shadows naturally fall.

Playful and bulbous, a touch of bobbin can make a real style statement in any room. Here to make an impact on your wall is this striking bobbin-edge mirror in an on-trend burgundy shade.
Go for a delicate two-toned effect for a pink kitchen that feels surprisingly sophisticated and modern. Of course, you don’t have to go full strawberry milkshake. A splash in the form of tiles can be enough to lift a scheme.
Balance a livelier colour on the lower half of walls with a lighter, tonally matched shade above, tempering the sugary sweetness with touches of stone and brass.

Sip your favourite tipple from this delicate pink tumbler or display it as a work of art. The pencil stripe and handblown design will have minor variations which we think adds to the beauty of this piece.
Rich and more than a little decadent, this mid pink works as a striking neutral in its own right. Make a bold romantic statement by drenching a room entirely in the hue – ceilings and furniture included – before layering on lashings of vanilla or jewel tones with abandon. Wondrously versatile, this pink living room scheme is complemented by just about any accent colour or decorative detail.

Whether it's in the bedroom or living room, this petite perch is undoubtedly stylish and offers an occasional spot to sit. Choose a bold stripe like this one to make a style statement.
The gentlest pink tint will infuse even the darkest corners with instant warmth and light. It’s a livelier, less stark way to brighten a space than by playing it safe with white. Match a rouge-tinged nude with an intensified version on woodwork and cabinetry for a nuanced sense of depth.
Highlight this tonal play with complementary dusky hues in soft furnishings and accessories, with pale pops for freshness. A low-hanging light will enhance a cosy atmosphere, as seen here in this dining room.

Hand stitched and pleated around a bespoke frame is what makes this stunning lampshade unique. The decorative leaf border makes an elegant and colourful addition.
Playing with intensity levels boosts the overall feel of this pink bedroom scheme. To maximise the effect, steer clear of pattern and opt for more versatile plains. Fabrics in saturated hues make an exciting colour-blocking statement when used from bed linen to soft furnishings and cushions.
Despite a limited colour palette, layers of tonally similar shades are beautiful enough to add depth and interest.

This table lamp, with contrasting tones in a wonderful stripe pattern, could be the easiest way to add some vibrant colour to your living space. The ceramic base includes a matte antique brass metalwork with a twisted fabric flex for a touch of luxury.
A contemporary pale cherry hue gives a fresh and pretty take on all-over monochrome in this pink bathroom. It might be wrapped floor-to-ceiling in the tiles, yet it appears soothingly minimalistic through the symmetry of its lines and use of a single colour. Teamed with simple and low-key pieces, the effect is a calm, uplifting sanctuary.

If you only buy one thing for the bathroom, make it this. Nestled in a decorative scalloped tray, this striped soap dispenser and toothbrush holder set is the perfect way to add some pink to your countertop.
Bolder can definitely be better, as demonstrated by this lipstick-like shade of hot pink. It’s not reserved just for the daring decorator, either. If vivid brights seem daunting, try applying them in areas that aren’t always on show in your home: curtain panels or inside cupboards work well as they can be revealed to provide a flash of unexpected colour.
Colour your space with this rose pink bedside cabinet. Featuring a drawer and double-door compartment and finished with a bone floral design, this small piece of furniture works hard to combine storage and style.
Create a mood that’s simultaneously calming, uplifting and energising by anchoring a scheme in a palette that takes subtle cues from nature.
A soft chalky pink foundation works a charm when layered with earthy materials and sculptural shapes. In a room, offset rough plaster-effect walls with contrasting textures such as on-trend terrazzo stone, wood and smooth organic accessories for a dash of interest.
The modern shape of this footed bowl teamed with a glazed pink finish will be the star of the table in any room.
