Think Pink: How to Add This Season’s Most Popular Colour to Your Home

We all have a fair idea why pink is the IT colour of the season but how can you hop on the trend? A pop of colour instantly brightens up and adds a sense of style to any room. So, why not add some pink to make your home wink!

Not sure how to go about it? We've loads of ideas and inspiration to get the ball rolling below.

Paint

One of the most popular ways to hop on the pink trend is with paint! Remember the recent worldwide shortage? There are also loads of shades you can choose from. If you're looking for something dramatic, go for bright or deeper shades. If you'd prefer something a little more elegant and understated, choose lighter, more muted shades.

While some might opt for a room of 4 pink walls, others might be a little intimidated by the amount of work it'll take to complete the job. So, here's a few ways you can add a pop of pink paint to your home instead:

Hallway

Not up for painting your entire hallway? Try adding some accent pieces like lampshades, rugs and plant pots instead. Decor such as, artwork, picture frames, candles and clocks in the popular shade are good options too. Other things to consider are chairs, radiator cabinets, or hall storage in pink tones.

Living Room

The living room area has so many possibilities to consider when adding pink to its space. Furniture choices like sofas, armchairs and coffee tables are great ways to add the colour without getting out the paintbrush. Textiles like cushions, throws, rugs and curtains, and decor such as artwork, photo frames, candles and lampshades are quick and easy ways to pop some pink into your living room. Wallpapering or painting a feature wall will also have your home trending.

Kitchen

The kitchen has quite a few opportunities to add a splash of the trending colour to your home. From bakeware, cookware, and mugs, to tea towels, aprons, and tableware, your cupboards will be bursting with pink in no time! Small appliances in the trending shade, like kettles, toasters, and mixers have also become popular options. Another way to add the colour to your kitchen is with decor like artwork, clocks and lighting. If you're in the market for a bigger kitchen makeover, consider pink floor tiles or backsplash, countertops, or larger appliances and furniture.

Dining Room

A quick and easy way to add pink to your dining room is with tableware. From plates, bowls, mugs and cutlery to tablecloths, placemats, napkins and glassware, there's plenty to consider! You could also create centre pieces with pink floral arrangements, candles, and vases. Similar to the previous rooms, other accent pieces around the room like artwork, dining chairs, rugs, or even a splash of pink paint or wallpaper, will also do the job!

Bathroom

The bathroom has quite a few options when it comes to adding a pop of pink to the room. For textiles, think towels, face cloths, bath mats, and shower curtains. When it comes to bathroom organisation, consider pink storage options, and accessories like toothbrush holders and soap dispensers. Other ways to add pink to your bathroom include mirror frames, toilet seats, toilet brushes, candles, and bins. If you're in the mood for a bigger DIY job, paint or tiles in the popular colour will do the job! Whether you choose to replace the floor or wall tiles, your bathroom will be on trend in no time.

Bedroom

Create a cosy pink bedroom with the likes of bedding, throws, cushions, rugs, blinds, and curtains. Wall features like artwork, picture frames, and clocks in pink tones will also bring the trend to your room. Feature walls have also become popular in bedrooms, so why not create one using pink paint or wallpaper! Other decorative items like bedroom storage, vases, candles, and lampshades are great options too.

Home Office

A great way to hop on the pink trend using your home office is by implementing items like desk chairs, lamps, desk organisers and office materials in the popular shade. Popping a rug or matching curtains in the colour of the season will instantly do the job too! Other decorative items mentioned before like, artwork, frames, pots, candles, and clocks can be used in this room as well.

Garden & Balcony

As mentioned earlier, painting your garden wood, whether that's furniture, a shed, fencing, decking, or gates, is a great way to add the popular colour to your home. The garden also has plenty of opportunities to add an array of pink flowers and plants to your bedding and pots. Flowers like dahlias, snapdragons, cyclamen, primroses, heathers, hydrangeas, foxgloves, fuchsia, petunias, geraniums, clematis and more, all come in various shades of pink. You can also add a pop of pink with planters and hanging baskets or outdoor lighting.
