Interior design features
Pink color has a calming effect. However, an overabundance of this shade in the interior can be a serious mistake. There are no uniform canons for decorating rooms in pink tones, but some features of using this color should be taken into account:
- light tones of pink can visually expand the room;
- Furniture in solid dark tones looks good against the background of pink wallpaper;
- to avoid the dollhouse effect, you should use at least three non-conflicting colors in the interior, but lack of moderation can ruin the charm of the design idea;
- in the rich palette of pink shades there are both warm and cold tones;
- by choosing wallpaper in soft pink shades, you can safely play with bright accents in your choice of furniture;
- if the room has low ceilings, zoning with companion wallpaper will add height to the space, and one main wall, decorated with wallpaper in pink tones, will add light and grace to the room.
Choosing curtains
The color scheme of any interior is determined by wallpaper and curtains, so it is extremely important to decide which curtains will go with pink wallpaper. First of all, it depends on the furniture and the degree of interior lighting: the textiles in your room should be in harmony with either the wallpaper or furniture attributes. That is why there are several effective ways to select curtains for pink wallpaper .
Method #1 : Tight spaces decorated in hot pink and dark furniture. Since such interiors look quite gloomy and uncomfortable, the color of the curtains with pink wallpaper should compensate for the lack of light and delicate shades. For example, in this type of living room you can hang white or beige curtains, in the kitchen - peach, in the nursery - cream or pale blue, in the living room - olive or gray.
Curtains for pink wallpaper in the bedroom can be cream, sand or white.
Remember! Curtains for pink wallpaper should be chosen based on the shades present in the room, so be sure to decorate the interior with appropriate accessories or textile elements (pillows, blankets, upholstered furniture).
Method number 2 : dark furniture against a background of light pink walls. Since such an interior itself is quite harmonious, you can decide for yourself which curtains will suit the pink wallpaper best. These can be both light and dark shades: white, beige, purple, blue, red, brown, olive and even black.
Method number 3 : rooms with dark pink wallpaper and light furniture. To make the interior items look harmonious in this case, use curtains in light shades that match the color scheme of the furniture.
Method number 4 : bright interiors. What curtains will go with pink wallpaper if the whole room is decorated in fairly light colors, and even among the furniture there are no dark accents? In this case, it is advisable to complement the design with bright or dark elements: choose plain curtains in cool shades or light options with bright patterns and ornaments.
In a soft pink environment, it is desirable to maintain an appropriate atmosphere , so curtains and curtains should consist of light materials (for example, tulle). Using pink wallpaper in the interior and correctly combining shades, you can create a romantic, gentle and calm environment that will delight you and your loved ones.
Types of wallpaper
When choosing wallpaper for wall decoration, many focus solely on appearance, color and texture, bypassing such an important selection criterion as material. There are many varieties of this popular coating. Some of them are suitable for a budget option, others will be appropriate in a rich interior.

Stylish design ideas and drawings
The end result should not rely entirely on fashionable design ideas - first of all, it should please the owners of the house. However, the main trends in stylish ideas are worth studying in order to avoid common mistakes in home decoration.
Do not consider plain wallpaper boring: against its background you can get the most advantageous solution in the interior. For small rooms, pink wallpaper in pastel colors is the only right option. Any other tones or pattern will visually reduce the already small space.
Wall coverings with geometric patterns are an indicator of the impeccable taste of the owners. Modern trends allow the use of wallpaper with geometric abstraction in any room. The Burberry cage is more suitable for a hall or a cozy living room, and pink wallpaper with thin stripes is an excellent solution for a small hallway.

Some rules for combining
Even those who have not yet figured out in practice how to combine two types of wallpaper may not worry about the final result of their design, since knowledge of the basic rules of combination will help you highlight the positive aspects of the interior.
Tip: the selection of wallpaper in two colors must be carried out with one important condition: the materials you choose must have common features. It is not at all necessary that it be the same composition of materials or the size of the canvas. It is much more important to maintain consistency in shades, textures or themes of the drawing.
Quite often, an interior with two wallpapers looks contradictory due to the inconsistency in the style of such materials. For example, wallpaper with classic patterns will not look harmonious next to modern 3-D photo wallpaper. The unity of styles should be manifested both in the materials themselves and in the harmony of the combination of colors of wallpaper and furniture for your room, therefore the decoration and design of two-color wallpaper is carried out after the purchase of furniture and accessories.
A design of wallpaper of two colors does not have to include only plain coverings
That is why it is important to maintain the harmony of the patterns on the canvases that you paste next to each other. For example, combining wallpaper with flowers and wallpaper with large geometric shapes will create an aesthetic imbalance
Advice: to prepare for the process of creating such combinations, discuss your idea with specialists or look at photos of combining wallpaper of two colors with ornaments and thematic designs.
Correctly combined wallpaper is the key to creating a spectacular and stylish design, as well as the ability to correct the shortcomings of your interior. Let's see what effects are possible when wallpapering two colors in the interior of one room.

Basic rules for using pink
Pink is considered one of the most insidious, because not everyone can use it correctly. We'll give you tips on how to successfully combine pink with other colors and create a truly stylish room.
We decorate the room to the envy of others
According to psychology, color is considered a symbol of femininity, friendliness, love, tenderness, romance and passion. It gives the inhabitants of the house a feeling of peace and comfort, helps them relax after a hard day and get rid of obsessive thoughts.
This shade is appropriate in the design of any room and provides great opportunities to express your design taste.
Induces a feeling of peace and comfort
Follow the simple rules for using it, and you will succeed:
- Application of optical illusions . Pink colors can make it more voluminous and airy. If you paint your walls a light shade of pink, the room will appear larger and brighter. The same applies to the walls of a bathroom or toilet - the right strawberry shade will expand a small room. Ordinary old furniture, such as a table, painted in this color will sparkle in a new way and will seem larger, but not massive.
- Color temperature . There are an incredible number of beautiful shades - from soft pink and ash pink to lavender and coral. A tea rose or salmon hue can help make a room feel cozier and warmer, while fuchsia décor pieces will energize and lift your spirits. So, it all depends on your end goal.
- Correct combinations . The pinkish shade you choose is not a guarantee of the expected result. Dilute it correctly and combine it with other colors. For example, a room consisting entirely of two colors - pink and gray - will look boring and will quickly tire you. Choose bright shades for individual interior elements, combine them with beige, white and other tones.
- General style . This color can successfully decorate rooms of various styles. For example, a combination of pink, turquoise, black, orange and white is suitable for a retro style. Muted tones will fit perfectly into a classic or Provencal style.
- Measure in the amount of color . The key to a good interior is moderation in everything - color, furniture, lighting, etc. Use only one shade for an accent and two more for the main decor. Make sure they go well together before making your final choice. For example, purple and coral will not find a “common language” even in the interior of a bathroom.
Colors should be in moderation in the room

Pink wallpaper on the wall: pros and cons
Pink looks good not only in the nursery.
Some people like it for its airiness and lightness, while others think that it is too cloying. This shade is suitable for decorating a living room.
The rooms are also decorated in a monochrome style, while the walls should be covered with coral, pearl, apricot materials, and the installed set should be darker, for example, a flamingo shade.
If the set has a pearl color scheme, then the walls can be made darker - lilac, purple. A very light cream carpet will look good in such a room; it will tone down the overly dark walls.
Most men do not like this color. Therefore, you should not use such coverings in the matrimonial bedroom.
It must be remembered that other colors can be added to pink materials: white, beige, yellow, brown.
Features of color selection for interior elements
Successful color combinations can transform any room, pushing the boundaries of imagination.
Curtains
Depending on the purpose of the room and the desired effect, pink wallpaper can be safely combined with café-au-lait curtains, snow-white heavy curtains or olive curtains with geometric patterns.
Furniture
Pale pink is a good background for Cremona oak furniture. Light-colored furniture goes well with deep pink shades.
A white sofa against a background of salmon wallpaper with patterns will appeal to people who value comfort and luxury.
Floor
Pink works well when paired with contrasting colors. The choice of color depends on the overall style of the interior, but a universal option for flooring paired with shades of pink is gray laminate or carpet.
