Using pink and red for romantic interiors…
This Valentine’s Day, we’re exploring the power of pink and red paint colours for romantic interior schemes. Discover inspiring pink and red schemes…
Combine related pink and red shades for a calm, tonal scheme
For a harmonious interior, use soft, related shades to achieve a sense of tranquillity. Choose pink-based neutrals such as the powder-like Masquerade for a comforting living space that exudes warmth.
Instead of painting your woodwork and ceiling in white, combine shades from the same tonal family for a gentler environment. Here, Masquerade walls pair with Masquerade – Light on panelling and Julie’s Dream on the ceiling.
Incorporate stronger colours with a colour blocking design
Add depth and interest to an otherwise neutral scheme by creating a focal point with a bold shade of red. Use a deeper shade alongside a paler, related neutral for a strong contrast.
This elegant home study uses a selection of complementary pink and red shades from our Stone palette. Castell Pink and Ferdinand pair with the darker Nether Red and Arras for a balanced scheme.
Use pink and red in bedrooms for a warm, comforting scheme
Paint walls and woodwork in one shade for a cocooning effect
Natural shades of pink and red are perfect for bedroom spaces, where they instil a quiet, cosy and intimate feeling. For a restful setting, paint walls and woodwork in a calming, mid-strength shade. This approach creates a cocooning effect that aids relaxation.
Pair Nether Red with a combination of soft greys and delicate pink and lilac details for a cohesive, comforting space.
Add interest with a strong contrast
Your bedroom space is the perfect place to express your personal style with a bold colour contrast. Green is a classic choice to pair with red or pink shades, for a scheme inspired by natural colour pairings.
A statement shade, Baked Cherry is a sumptuous red that creates an almost regal bedroom space. Introduce the dark Invisible Green, and Cordoba for a colour highlight.
For a more subtle approach, pair a muted shade of red with complementary neutrals. The chalky, deep terracotta, Tuscan Red, is reminiscent of the Mediterranean. It accompanies French Grey walls, natural wood floors and textural elements for a rustic, pared-back effect.
Introduce a pink floral wallpaper for an elegant scheme
Using wallpaper is a wonderful way to enhance your scheme, by adding interesting colours, patterns and textures. Floral wallpapers are a timeless choice as they bring the beauty of nature inside the home. In soft pink colourways, they can make a space feel especially charming.
Use the flamboyant, stylised design, Poppy Trail - Masquerade to create a gorgeous guest bathroom. Pair with panelling in the rich, earthy Yellow-Pink.
Massingberd Blossom is an Edwardian wallpaper that features trailing blossom and repeating birds, it is surface printed for a luxurious painterly finish. Use the soft pink Mineral colourway to provide a beautiful backdrop in a spacious dining room.
