Pink Perfection - Incorporating Pink Paint
From the pastels of bursting blooms in an English country garden, to sophisticated pink hues for entertaining spaces, there is a pink shade to suit every interior scheme.
Deep Pink Paint Shades - Creating Impact
Unashamed and proud to be pink, deep pink shades create impact and a sense of occasion. Often veering on the side of red, confident pinks can hold their own alongside equally confident colours.
Create a two-tone scheme for modern bathrooms with Blush and Lead Colour on the walls.
Or introduce dark pink paint by combining Córdoba, painted on all walls of a master bathroom, with Blush to create a feeling of spa-like indulgence.
Lift a predominantly neutral scheme with the rich Nether Red on doors and subtle Castell Pink above the dado rail or consider painting all walls of a living room in Ashes of Roses for a romantic, nostalgic feel.
Pink and Black - Juxtaposing Interior Schemes
It has only been over the last century that pink has been associated with femininity. To create a look that will satisfy all tastes, use pink alongside black to sharpen the look and create a juxtaposition between gentle pink hues and more industrial shades.
Choose wallpapers with a dash of pink within their design and finish the room with Jack Black cornicing. Alternatively, take a look at the Paradise Nightshade wallpaper design with its black background and vivacious trailing design in pinks and greens.
Use black and pink in equal measure in hallways and look-through rooms. Wallpaper the furthest wall away from you in Brook Street Etruscan to create a focal point and paint walls and woodwork in Lamp Black.
Stripes are a good way to incorporate pink into a scheme without it appearing too girly. The Tailor Stripe Bakerloo from Painted Papers does just the trick and looks sophisticated alongside painted woodwork in Jack Black.
Rebel Pink - Colour Clashing with Light Pink Paint
For a playful approach to using pink (ideal for guest bedrooms or dens for teenagers) create a lively colour clash palette. Choose colours from the opposite side of the colour wheel and use them in equal measure within the room.
Create a vibrant headboard using tester pots and masking tape painted on an MDF board combined with walls painted in Hellebore.
Alternatively, paint a wide pink stripe in Hellebore that runs from the wall (painted in Hollyhock) across the floor (painted in Royal Navy).
Use Absolute Matt Emulsion paint for the walls, Floor Paint and Intelligent Eggshell for the chair, painted in Carmine.

Loud and unapologetic, more vibrant pinks quite rightly demand attention and create a feeling of joy within a space. These shades can’t help but make you smile. Paint entire rooms in Leather for a wraparound feeling.
Pink Tint - Introducing Blush Pink Paint Shades
Much like applying blusher to the face, subtle pink paint colours on walls make a room come alive and create a warm, nurturing glow. Ideal for entertaining spaces, paint walls in shades such as Pink Slip that is most definitely pink but that will not overwhelm the room. Team with fresh China Clay for a light, airy feel.
In open plan kitchens use Light Peachblossom to soften the look of functional spaces, and for a wallpaper that creates this look, use the joyful Paradise - Pink design and team with skirting boards painted in Carmine and Córdoba.
Layered Pinks - Combining Pale Pink Paint Families
If you want to set the tone of your home from the moment visitors enter through the front door, pink is an infinitely welcoming choice for entrance halls. For a failsafe scheme, paint all walls of your hall the same hue, such as China Clay Dark and then layer colours from the same family in other areas of the space.
Proceed to paint doors and ceilings in China Clay and architectural details in China Clay Deep. In modern hallways, create a feature with wide, horizontal bands in dusky pink paint.
Browse Colour ScalesTouch of Pink - Adding pink paint to existing interior schemes
If you want to incorporate pink into your existing interior design scheme, try using a vibrant pink such as Leather for a colour highlight. Paint a wide stripe where the wall meets the ceiling to draw the eye upwards or paint furniture pieces in the same vibrant hue to spice up a subdued palette of Invisible Green.
Alternatively, introduce wallpapered panels (Hencroft Pink Primula design) to a bedroom for a distinctly vintage feel. Painting dado rails in Hellebore makes for the perfect finishing touch.
Paint a horizontal band of Nether Red above floating shelves where the colour will peep out between displayed objects. Or, for the adventurous, use pink paint on walls and ceilings. Update your ceiling with Blush pink paint for a contemporary finish.
Sophisticated Pinks - Using Neutral, Dusky Pink Paints
Many pinks are sweetened with the use of violet pigments which give them a slightly sugary appearance. The Masquerade Colour Scales have been formulated using a red oxide base which provides a more muted, grown-up finish. This alluring, natural undertone makes this colour family suitable for use in many areas of the house including living spaces for a sophisticated finish.
