Blush Pink Colour Schemes

If you've never experimented with blush tones before, a plush pink colour scheme might seem like a daring design choice. However, the right shade of pink can work wonders for your interiors.

Easy on the eye and surprisingly versatile, a light pink shade blends beautifully with warmer tones and classic neutrals. It's often considered a feminine colour palette, but the right hue can be used to anchor any space.

Think about using a muted blush pink instead of a light grey or off-white shade. It can tie a room together perfectly, especially if you're looking to introduce luxurious accent pieces to your living rooms, bedrooms or dining area.

Why Bring Blush Pink into your Colour Scheme?

Blush colour combinations are an easy choice if you're looking to elevate your interior design credentials. Blush pinks are luxurious, but they're also great for creating a relaxing interior. 

A pretty blush colour scheme can be incorporated into any decor. If you're a traditionalist,  the right hue will pick out ornate architectural elements. If you live in a more modern home, a pared-back pink works well with clean lines and contemporary details.

Blush pinks are also incredibly versatile. You can keep things simple with white accents or lean into elegance with gold accents and metallic elements. Premium upholstery and tufted cushions also make a fine addition to pretty blush colour schemes. 

Five Stunning Blush Pink Colour Schemes

Ready to put together a beautiful palette of blush pinks? We've picked out some of our favourites, along with a few complementary colours that will tie your schemes together beautifully. 

Brighter shades can work well in a pink-inspired space, but more vibrant hues are best used in small doses. Start with a floral pink like Magnolia H320 to set the mood. 

This beautiful pink has undertones of orange, bringing instant warmth to your interiors. 

If you want to offset the righter hues of this colour, go with a soft green shade like Lotus F448 when painting interior doors or room accents. You can even use it alongside your preferred pink to create two-tone walls. 

It's always best to incorporate various shades when decorating with pink. A cool grey like Homespun L498 works particularly well alongside blush shades. Grey works well with just about anything, while the blue undertones bring instant balance. 

Pink and blue are neighbours on the colour wheel, making them a timeless combination that can work incredibly well in any space. Looking for a vibrant pink to energise your space? Go with a bubblegum shade like Milkshake Y411. 

Once your walls have been painted, you'll probably want to balance things out with something more neutral. A white like Snowdrift L503 is the way to go here, with a subtle hint of blue working beautifully alongside your choice of pink. 

If you want to add more depth to your decor, use a pale teal like Trade Wind H441. The teal pigment makes a premium pairing to any pink, while minty undertones will freshen up your interiors. 

Sometimes, it's best to keep things simple when decorating with pink. A simple pairing of pink and a complementary neutral can work wonders in smaller spaces. 

Go with a more daring shade like Milkshake Y411 when choosing your primary colour. This bubblegum pink has plenty of character, but it's delicate enough that you can use it in living spaces and dining rooms. 

For the perfect complementary colour, use Ice Rose J503. This muted cream boasts its own undertones of pink, making it an easy choice of accent colour. If your room is still calling for a pop of colour, think about adding some pink light fixtures or patterned pillows.

A dusty palette is a good option if you're looking to create a more sophisticated space. Think of a blush pink colour scheme as an evolution of earthy interior design. Dusty hues and blush shades add extra warmth and you can use similar ideas when accenting your space. 

Start with a light pink paint shade like Pavillion X417. Although pared-back and subtle, this paint colour has plenty of depth that makes it a superior design choice. 

Once you've used this dusty shade to paint your walls, start introducing more subtle shades. A cool white like Palace K503 works particularly well, with its rosy undertones blending seamlessly with more daring pink colours. 

Finally, reach for a creamy neutral like Semolina G398. Once again, you'll appreciate a subtle undertone of pink here, making it a fine addition to a blush-inspired palette. 

The best blush pink colour schemes combine vibrant shades with more muted neutrals. For maximum impact, choose a dazzling floral pink for your walls, then offset things with more pared-back tones. 

A rich floral like Magnolia H320 is a fabulous choice of primary colour. Unashamedly pink and boasting hints of orange, this paint shade will bring warmth to any space. 

If you're aiming to create a serene space, use a tranquil off-white like Damask F485 for room details and interior doors. For backdrops and alcoves, think about using an intense grey like Basalt N499. 

When it comes to the finishing touches, you can take your lead from any of these undertones. The occasional flourish of orange will work particularly well here. Alternatively, incorporate dramatic hints of grey with soft fabrics and upholstery choices.
