Pink isn’t an easy color to work with because incorporating it into your room runs the risk of looking rather weird. Then, you have to contend with its reputation of being ‘girly’ and even 'childish,’ attributes that could be embarrassing when designing a room for an adult.
But what if you already have pink walls? How do you work with that? The good news is that with just a little thoughtfulness on your part, you can turn your pink room into a shabby chic retreat instead of over-the-top and cult-like. Let us show you how.
Here’s a checklist to help keep you on track:

b. Ceramic Pink Vase by Jusalpha
Much of the inspiration for this vase came from traditional pottery, with curves that will instantly draw the eye.

What makes this vase stand out from other products on this list is the lustrous metallic finish that gives off a high gloss.

4. Add a Pink Throw Blanket
Add a super comfortable, super soft throw on your couch or bed for a rougher, less deliberate look to create a more authentic room. Blankets can completely transform your space if you do things strategically. The right choice can add lots of flair to a pink colored room, but something wrong can throw off the room’s balance, which is why you need to be careful. Here are some rugs to start off with.
a. Plush Sherpa Throw by PAVILIA
This throw is made from 100% premium microfiber to give it a soft, durable and lightweight appeal. The pink color is vibrant enough to be a crowd pleaser. What we really loved about this blanket is that it’s very easy to wash. Make sure to wash it separately in cold water under low settings. It should transform your room with pink walls.
b. Super Soft Shaggy Throw Blanket by Chanasya
Mix a tasteful touch of texture into your pink room with this on-trend throw blanket. Since the product is made from 100% microfiber polyester, it is durable and machine washable. There are different sizes to choose from, including 50” by 65” and the whopping 60” by 70” which should look perfect when paired with pink walls.
5. Neutral Shades
Neutral colors that contrast pink walls can create high-style bedrooms that are soothingly tranquil. As is the norm, neutral colors are selected for the backdrop while bright colors such as pink are chosen for accessories for an accented look. But in our case, the neutrals will be taking the backseat and pinks at the forefront.
a. Pink is the Name of the Game
Pink instantly greets the eye, with light hues that match the neutral curtain. The ornate design may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the idea is to showcase the efficient combination of neutral colors with ink.
6. Use Different Shades of Pink
Not all shades of pink are created equal. The trick is to take advantage of tonal variations while staying true to the room’s pink theme. It’s cool to see the visually appealing dark pink color of the sofa being paired up with stuffed animals with contrasting colors.
7. Avoid Making Everything Pink
This room manages to look super cute without featuring over the top colors. In fact, the pink backsplash of the wall is as neutral as they come. The remainder of the room features neutral colors, whether that includes the study table, stuffed animals, accented light fixtures, and the eclectic throw pillows.
8. Look into Removable Wallpaper
If all of your room’s walls are colored in pure pink and now you’ve started getting bored of the vibrant splash of color, it’s time to get new wallpaper with a different color for a different solution. Faux brick wallpaper, for example, should do the trick. The brick’s rustic look should make the room look less feminine.
Here’s a look at textured wallpaper from Amazon that should do the trick.
a. Rust Faux Wallpaper by Blooming Wall
Notice how neutral the texture is, the artist did a good job of creating the most authentic brick artwork possible with wallpaper. This wallpaper will perfectly match up with your pink walls and completely transform the room. The wallpaper itself is fully feature-rich, being environmentally friendly, waterproof, and lightweight.
It is made using breathable material that resists moisture and water, increasing its life span.
