Pink is a timeless colour that has been popular for decades, from Victorian-era wallpaper and upholstery to the hot pink hues of the "Barbiecore" trend that we saw everywhere in the early 2020s. Whether you're styling a soft blush bedroom or introducing bolder pink tones into a living room or kitchen, the right colour combination can completely transform a space. If you're wondering what colours go with pink, here are six combinations along with simple tips to help you bring each look to life.

White and pink

White and pink are a classic pairing. White is clean and bright, allowing pink to really shine. This is ideal for rooms where you desire a lighter more open atmosphere. Whether you feature a soft pastel or vibrant bubble-gum pink, white lets pink shine beautifully.

How to use them:

Choose pink walls or soft furnishings, introducing white shutters to frame the window and brighten the space. The clean white highlights the softness of pink while maintaining a calm, airy feel.

Green and pink

Green and pink are a classic interior design pairing, creating a vibrant, nature-inspired palette that feels full of life. Whether you opt for subtle blush tones or a darker, vibrant combination, the combination adds colour while still feeling harmonious.

How to use them:

Use green as a grounding backdrop and introduce pink honeycomb blinds for warmth and contrast. Layering the two colours in different textures, from painted surfaces to fabrics, helps the palette feel relaxed and beautifully cohesive.

Navy blue and pink

The richness of navy brings sophistication, while pink introduces warmth and lightness. When teamed up, they create a palette that is both elegant and inviting.

How to use them:

Pair navy furniture with light wood flooring and gold accessories to create a sophisticated atmosphere. In this room, the light pink Vertical blinds brighten the bay window while contrasting beautifully with the deep navy furniture and gold accessories, creating a space that feels polished yet comfortable.

Brown and pink

Brown and pink create a warm, welcoming palette that makes any room feel grounded while adding character. Rich brown tones, from exposed brick to natural wood, help soften pink tones and give a more relaxed feel.

How to use them:

Pair bright pink Vertical blinds with natural wood finishes or exposed brick to create a cosy space. In this room, the pink blinds add a softness to the masculine feel of the brick wall and wooden shelving. Layering in natural accents, such as house plants and soft furnishings helps bring the look together.

Black and pink

Black and pink create a bold, contemporary colour pairing that feels both striking and stylish. Black provides contrast and definition, helping the softer pink tones stand out without feeling overly intense.

How to use them:

Pair statement black curtains with softer pink Voile curtains to help balance the look. In this kitchen, the powder pink Voiles soften the darker patterned curtains and accents, creating contrast while allowing natural light to filter through. Added greenery and natural elements strengthen the vibrant, welcoming theme.

A bold choice, colour drenching is a great way to create a cohesive, immersive aesthetic and, layering different tones of pink is a great way to achieve this look.

How to use them:

Try layering multiple shades of pink across walls, furniture and accessories to create a truly immersive feel. In this kitchen, pink cabinets, walls and customer colour shutters work together to form a seamless, energising colour scheme.

Tips for using pink at home

Pick the right shade: Pink ranges from soft blush and dusty rose to vibrant fuchsia. Lighter shades create a calm, relaxed feel, while deeper pinks bring energy and personality to a space.

Use pink to add warmth: Pink can be used to soften cooler colour schemes and introduce warmth to a room. Pair it with deeper tones like navy or black for contrast, or with natural materials such as wood to create a cosy, balanced look.

Layer tones and textures: Pink works beautifully when layered in different shades and materials. Combine painted walls with fabrics, cushions or window dressings in complementary pink tones to add depth.
