Decorate A Bedroom With Pink

Whether you have a little girl on the way or you'd love your guest room to feature your favorite color, pink can be a great way to incorporate a feminine style to a bedroom. If you intend to use a color theme, plan the bedroom's details beforehand so that you don't end up with an assortment of pink shades that don't match. Don't be afraid to add bold pieces along with classic elements to add personality to the room.

Instructions

Bedroom Prep

1. Go to a home improvement or paint store to pick up paint swatches. Find a few shades of pink that complement one another. Stick to these choices as you shop for other room elements.

2. Choose one color to paint the walls that will set the tone for your room. A brighter pink can be a great choice for a young girl's room, while a deep, rosy pink is more elegant and mature. The wall color you choose will become the base against which you measure all other room elements, since they should not clash with the walls.

3. Choose the bedding for the room. Solid colors are less likely to conflict with other room elements, but you can use a print as well, as long as the design is not distracting. The bedding doesn't necessarily have to be pink; using a cool green or blue color can sometimes bring out the pink in the room by contrasting with it.

4. Pick out furniture pieces for the room. Whether this is a bed frame, nightstand or reading chair, don't overlook the piece's color in comparison to the wall color you have chosen. If you choose wood furniture, the color of the woods should match among all furniture pieces and complement the wall color. White or cherry wood go best with pink.

Accessories

5. Bring along a paint swatch or a pillowcase as you shop for room accessories. This will help you avoid buying items that clash with the room's color scheme.

6. Buy bold and colorful pieces to use as accents in the room. In a neutral room with soft pink decor, add a picture frame or lampshade in a deep pink tone to add a dramatic look. A brighter pink children's room can benefit from accessories that complement that pink color chosen, like a dark purple rug or light green curtains.

7. Use accessories to create a fun, color combination theme throughout the bedroom. Pink and green is fun and youthful, while pink and black exudes a modern, stylish feel.
