Pink and green room inspiration

For a winning combination, pair green with pink, a complementary colour match sitting opposite each other on the colour wheel. It’s a combination we see a lot in nature, which is why we find it very comforting when it comes to interiors.

Green has the ability to create a soothing, serene atmosphere due to its connection with the outdoors, whereas pink adds warmth, softening the green tone.

This combination is extremely versatile making it adaptable for all areas of the home, here are just a few of our favourite ways to use it.

Pink and green bedrooms

One of the most popular areas of the home to use pink and green is in the bedroom. While pink is often associated with femininity, the use of green will balance it out and add more of a masculine feel.

Pair a bold green wallpaper such as Fayola by Harlequin with pink soft furnishings like headboards and cushions to add softness. 

Window furnishings are extremely important in bedrooms, not only adding a stylish touch of pattern and colour but also ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The benefit of using our made to measure service is the wide selection of fabrics, allowing you to choose a design you really love and that matches both your style and your room perfectly, and the fact that we can create bespoke items to your exact measurements.

Floral fabric works really well as curtains and blinds, adding a touch of femininity and softness and bringing the serenity of the outdoors, inside. Some of our favourites include Melrose by Clarke & Clarke and Carnival by Christopher Farr Cloth.

Pink and green living rooms

Create a vibrant and fresh feel in your living space with the combination of pink and green patterned fabric and wallpaper. With a variety of designs and brands to choose from, start off by ordering samples to test how well the designs work in your scheme. A longstanding favourite pink and green fabric is Ikat Bokhara by GP & J Baker, seen here on this charming chesterfield sofa.

Use accessories like scatter cushions on sofas and chairs or rugs to ensure the room has a harmonious feel. Either opt for a neutral, textured rug such as jute or sisal, or stick with the pink and green colour palette. Avoid introducing extra colour at this stage, as the result will be a cluttered feeling room.
