Pink living room ideas that are right on trend

Pink living room ideas will take off in a big way in the coming months with the release of Dulux’s Colour of the Year 2024: Sweet Embrace™.

Sweet Embrace is a soft and positive tone that supports the overall theme of, ‘A place where you belong’. This soothing paint colour can be used in various different ways to create a space where you feel completely at home.

So what better inspiration to explore the use of pink in a living room, pairing it against a spectrum of colours and neutrals to create a series of beautiful home decor options? Ready to be inspired? Let’s go.

Pink and grey living room ideas

A pink and grey living room creates a welcoming and comfortable feel. As a safe, neutral backdrop, grey is the perfect pairing to have fun with pink tones.

1. Touches of pink

If you love the idea of pink, but aren’t sure you want to fully commit with rose-coloured walls, start with the introduction of a few soft furnishings.

A grey living room is one of the easiest colour schemes to pair with pink accents. But note how the variance in texture stops this concept from looking flat: pink velvet cushions, a wool throw, cotton drapes, and a leather pouffe.

2. Small pink and grey living rooms

A smaller living room, particularly in an apartment, can be more challenging to decorate. Without any defining features and often having to ensure the living area complements the kitchen and dining space, pink can be your saviour to add personality and visual interest.

Paired here effortlessly with grey, metallic accents, and copper hues, this rose pink tone is subtle yet warm and inviting.

3. Bold florals

Bold floral wallpaper against a grey palette and metallic brushed gold accents is a creative way to include touches of pink in your home decor while making a statement.

The muted grey palette allows the pink floral feature wall to flourish, creating depth and interest.

Pink and green living room ideas

Pink and green decor is a match made in interior design heaven as they’re complementary shades on the colour wheel, i.e. they’re opposite each other.

4. Gem tones of emerald green

Add balance to your pink and green living room with neutral tones (in this case, the black side table) and warm metallic accents, such as this brushed gold table lamp.

5. Soft pastel green with pink

Arguably the best shade of green to enhance soft pink is pastel green.

Again, notice how the various textural elements – the metallic and marble coffee table, velvet upholstery, wood panelling, and glass light fixtures – work together to ‘lift’ this scheme.

6. Soothing botanicals

This powdery pink armchair looks right at home amongst these showstopping houseplants. The tactile velvet upholstery alongside the metallic mirror and billowy drapes create a soothing space to relax and unwind.

Living room decoration with pink and blue

Another versatile colour that pairs well with pink is blue. Let’s take a look at a few examples of how variance in shade can create completely different decor.

7. Combine powdery pastels

This concept looks super homely and inviting as a space you want to relax and unwind in.

The powdery blue provides the perfect balance for the sweet pink tones in this living room.

8. Navy and pink

Edging deeper into navy, notice how this dark shade of blue helps to ground the room. The subtle touches of navy across the soft furnishings and furniture tone down the playful pink hues.

But don’t underestimate the importance of the wooden sideboard, vibrant houseplants, and black accents to create a cohesive feel.

9. Add sophistication with metallic accents

Is there a more sophisticated design scheme than this navy and blush pink living room wrapped in metallic accents?

It’s romantic, grown-up, and glamorous. This is a living room to get dressed up for.

Pairing neutrals with pink

Does pink go with neutrals? Too right it does! But don’t be fooled into thinking neutral shades are limited to beige and ivory.

Neutrals include white, grey, taupe, tan, and black. All of which create an incredible backdrop for our glorious pink tones.

10. Build pink into your boho look

Pairing back all the other elements of this scheme makes the pastel pink sofa the star of the show. Setting it against natural, wooden accents, neutral wall, and earthy tones stops the saccharine hue from being overbearing.

11. Black accents to add depth

Incorporating black accents into your pink living room, for example, with photo frames and furniture legs, helps to ground the overall look.

12. A feminine touch to an industrial scheme

The pink walls just creeping into the backdrop adds warmth and feminity to this industrial look. Helped along by the textural elements of rattan, faux fur, wood, and metal, it’s the addition of pink that makes this decor sing.

13. A step darker with taupe

For depth and drama, match your pink living room with the darker tones of taupe. We love the wood panelling in this concept to stop this rich colour from looking ‘flat’. And the addition of floral and soft textures expertly creates balance.

14. Sophisticated and moody

The intensity of the charcoal grey walls (steer clear of full black) and the playfulness of the pink sofa create a stylish and chic living room, while the built-in wooden shelving adds warmth.

Pink living room furnishings

Pink sofas and armchairs are timeless in interior design. As we’ve discovered, the versatility of pink means it’ll never date.

15. Soothing room decor with pink

The muted tones of pink against the soft grey walls create an ultra-soothing, Scandinavian-inspired living room space.

The light chevron floor, sculptured furniture, and carefully chosen decorative elements act to create the visual interest that’s needed with this muted palette.

16. Pink home furnishings

The inclusion of pink decor, for example, in a velvet sofa, is a great way to build this calming tone into your home.

The combination of black and metallic tones, alongside botanical elements, makes this stylish, cosy, and inviting.
