Forget what you think you know about pink bedrooms. Once thought of as a color eternally relegated to the nursery, pink is making a big comeback—and it’s a great color if you’re hunting for a new bedroom hue.
If you’re thinking about going pink in your bedroom, these designer-approved spaces are sure to inspire.
Pink can be combined with a variety of different colors to help you achieve your ideal look.
Pairing pink with darker hues, like blacks or grays, can tone it down while opting for brighter colors makes the shade pop even more.
Pink can also work with a variety of different design styles. If you want a more modern bedroom, go with rosy pinks.
For moody spaces, try deep mauves. If you want chic, pale pink is a perfect choice.
No matter your style, pink is a great color to incorporate into your bedroom palette.
