Pink Bedroom Decorating Ideas

Bring pink in through small details, such as embroidered flowers, to make it stand out.

Decorate a bedroom in your home using pink if it's your favorite color or the perfect choice to accentuate a theme you want to use. Pink can encompass many themes and create many moods depending on the shade, intensity and amount of pink you choose to use. Although pink is typically thought of as a girl's color, certain shades (in moderation) can work for a shared bedroom as well.

Walls

Choose a color palette including one or two shades of pink before you begin painting.

Paint the walls to fit in with your bedroom decor. Choose a pale pink for a soft or calming effect, a feminine look or a romantic feel. Brighter pinks, such as fuchsia, can electrify the bedroom, cover one wall to create an accent wall, or be used in moderation with a paler hue or neutral color, such as white, in a pattern. Wallpaper or painted patterns can create a theme or add personality to the room. Hearts, flowers, circles, stripes, ballet slippers or lipstick prints work with various themes.

If painting the walls pink is too much for you, consider a pink border or wall decor to establish your color scheme.

Furniture

White furniture will pop off of darker pink walls, while chocolate brown furniture will have the same effect against lighter shades of pink. Paint a dresser or nightstand pink to stand out against white walls. Black wrought-iron furniture is another option. The type of furniture you choose should work well with the mood you're trying to set. For example, white wicker furniture can work for a country cottage feel or a romantic setting.

Bedding and Curtains

Your bedding and curtains will largely depend on the wall color and style of room you want to create. A pink patchwork quilt will add to a farmhouse-style bedroom, while white lace bedding with a pink floral pattern can work for a romantic room or Victorian-style room. Bright pink, orange and lime green geometric shapes on a comforter might work best for a bubbly teenage girl. Consider a reversible comforter that depicts a pattern of pink and another color on one side, with solid pink on the other so you have the option to change the look of the room in just a couple of minutes.

The curtains, like the bedding, should be solid against patterned walls, or introduce patterns if the walls are plain. Polka dots, stripes, circles, flowers, plaid, hearts or ballet slippers are only a few of the patterns available.
