Pretty in pink: decorating ideas for this year's hottest colour
Beautiful ways to bring blush into your home

Create a statement ceiling

Give a dining room a warm, enveloping vibe with the help of mauve pink paint. This beautiful block of colour starts at the skirting and continues right up and onto the ceiling. Not only is it easy on the eye but it's a great way to zone off a dining area in a larger, open-plan living space. For the perfect finishing touch, add some gold statement mirrors to offset the hue.
Bring in black

These refined and subtle pink cabinets are transformed when teamed with a glossy black splashback. Adding a dramatic edge to the rosy scheme, leather handles add a touch of warmth and are clever attention-to-details that fast-forward the kitchen scheme from 80's kitsch to 2021 cool.
Switch up ceramics

Adding soft pink tiles to your bathroom or kitchen is a fantastic way of incorporating a non-neutral hue into your home. Opt for pearlescent patterned designs to add some shine to your interior spaces – plus their reflective sheen will help to maximise natural light.
Gravitate to graphic prints

Who says pink has to be soft and girly? Graphic motifs teamed with jet black or navy walls can add the perfect edge to baby pink furnishings to create a bold and quirky living space. Contemporary room divider screens break up the dark backdrop, while a back and white abstract rug contrasts perfectly with the softer hues.
Have fun with hot pink

If you're going to commit to a big colour, don't do it by halves. This bold fuchsia shade offers a creative way to zone off a home office alcove, while adding plenty of personality to your workstation. Offset the vivid pop of colour with a calming and warm neutral hue for a perfectly balanced space.
Work in whimsical wallpaper

Baby pink meets modern line art in this stunning on-trend wallpaper. Use a graphic print in a soft rosy hue to elevate a functional zone like a dining room or kitchen, and create a sophisticated space worth showing off.
Clash with bold colours

Combine bold, beautiful colours in your bedroom scheme by selecting rich contrasting shades that offset each other perfectly. Sunny yellow layered with navy and cobalt blue work in harmony against the warm pink feature wall, creating a vibrant and energising scheme.
Go for gold

If you're a fan of metallics, opt for an ultra-luxurious dining room that teams dusky pink with glistening gold accents. From chair legs to cupboard handles and vases, gold fixtures are a great way to accentuate the warmth of this rosy hue.
Fall for a flamboyant mural

Wall murals are a simple and affordable way to add atmosphere to your living spaces. This artistic lake scene, complete with flamingoes, instantly adds a dose of antique charm to a room, as well as offering a show-stopping focal point. Plus most murals are self-adhesive, washable and easy to remove, so you can try out a different design as trends change!
Plump for plaster pink

For a more organic feel, a pale plaster pink can make a great neutral backdrop – especially in a living room brimming with natural materials and earthy hues. Experiment with rattan furnishings and bursts of black for a contemporary palette that'll really make that soft pink sing.
Play with paint effects

Pink doesn't have to be confined to cute. Achieve an effortlessly cool bedroom with a dramatic painted headboard that combines colour blocks of pale pink with graphic shapes in black and white. Here, shades of grey tie the contrasting palette together into one cohesive scheme.
Create a glamorous gallery wall

Celebrate your favourite shades of pink in your lounge with a gorgeous gallery wall. Don't be afraid to mix things up – combine typographic prints with floral photographs and bold artwork in rosy hues for a pretty showcase that's bursting with personality.
Roll out pink blinds

Pink doesn't need to be the key colour in a room to make a real impact. Opt for soft coloured blinds in a conservatory for a subtle yet stand-out look. Balanced with industrial-style metal seating and a copper pendant lamp, it's the perfect fusion of rustic and romantic.
Update your upholstery

Colourful upholstered beds are a hot trend right but if you don't want such a bright focal point, a soft pink tone is a stylish, more muted alternative. This classic quilted design in petal pink is comfortable yet refined – pair with simple white bedding to make the bed frame the star of the show, or add moody notes of navy for a contemporary contrast.
Fit a pink kitchen island

Think pink should be reserved for bedrooms and lounges? Think again. Adding pink to your kitchen is the ultimate way to bring a fun flourish to a functional room. This bubblegum pink kitchen island adds character to a contemporary scheme and zones off the space from the rest of the open-plan living area.
Run wild with retro

Pink and retro are a match made in interior heaven. Add a flamingo pink feature wall to your washroom space, alongside patterned flooring and industrial-style finishes for a quirky new take on a vintage style classic.
Embrace bijou boho

Bring boho into your living room with a patterned sofa and footstool in rich pink shades. Allow vibrant furnishings to shine by adding a muted backdrop to your scheme, like this pared-back exposed brick wall.
Add vintage vibes

Statement furniture can make or break a room, and plush, vintage-inspired seating can transform a simple living space into a thoroughly regal affair. Pair with gold finishes for an elegant, Art Deco vibe that Jay Gatsby would be proud of!
Create a pastel garden haven

Transform your outdoor space into a calming oasis, with dramatic tiling in complementary pastel shades. These undulating tiles create architectural interest, whilst providing a tranquil backdrop to recline against in the hot summer months.
Embrace monochrome minimalism

Go mid-century modern with a minimal luxe bedroom in powder pink. Pair blush curtains with soft furnishings and walls in the same pale tone, and add sleek black furnishings for a welcome contrast.
Celebrate the colour spectrum

Don't be afraid to use a range of pink tonal shades in one room. Blending cool pale pink with more rosy shades will transform a lacklustre room into a dazzling space, worthy of a spread in a glossy home magazine!
Dine alfresco in blush pink

Why not add pink notes outside in the warmer months, for a romantic take on alfresco entertaining? Design an enchanting outdoor entertaining space by embracing soft blush tones with floral accents to create a secret garden scheme.
Fit statement window shutters

If curtains and blinds aren't your thing then opt for contemporary internal shutters in powder pink. Tie the room together with monochrome finishes and light grey accessories – the perfect marriage of shades and textures.
Create an interior illusion

Transform with a two-tone scheme

A two-tone palette with vivid, contrasting shades is a sure-fire recipe for a wow-factor interior. Make a statement in your living space by blending flamingo pink with deep teal, for a playful and contemporary look that oozes character!
Embrace contemporary country charm

Turn your bedroom into a traditional country haven, with soft pastels, heavily patterned fabrics and antique-inspired furnishings for a rustic yet delicately finished look.
Elevate with velvet furnishings

Introducing texture is a great way to add interest in an interior, and soft velvet furnishings are just the trick! Opt for carnation pink tones for a sophisticated, regal finish.
Pick powder pink wall paint

Light pink is the ideal alternative to a neutral wall and a great way to warm up your living room. Accessorise with turquoise and plum furnishings for a regal room that exudes glamour.
Give your kitchen the traditional treatment

A refreshing new take on a homely country kitchen, this cherry blossom scheme adds a touch of whimsy and plenty of character to a classic style. Modern additions like pendant lighting bring this space bang up to date.
Go muted with a barely-there bedroom

Pair blush with bold terrazzo

Add wow-factor to wall panelling

One of the biggest interior trends at the moment, wall panelling is a great way to add architectural interest to an uninspiring living space. Add a colourful twist to this traditional wall treatment with a two-tone pink finish – paint the lower two-thirds a vibrant rosy hue and opt for a subtle neutral shade from the upper third.
