Pink Living Room Decor

If you think pink only works in the bedroom, think again. In fact, pink walls turn a lacklustre living room into something truly extraordinary. If your living space is lacking energy and in desperate need of a spruce-up, a pink colour palette is well worth considering. 

From pale pink shades to dramatic dusky hues, you’ve plenty of options when decorating your living rooms with this enchanting palette. If you’re not afraid of a little colour, blush pink walls and equally vibrant accessories are something to think about. 

However, pink tones can also be used to create a more sophisticated space. A dusky pink wall colour can be accentuated with muted metallic accents, while dark grey and jewel tones can add eye-catching complexity. 

Ready to explore the potential of pink living room ideas? At Tikkurila, we stock an incredible selection of pink paint colours. Whether you’re looking to decorate with the same shade or experiment with a whole host of pink tones, you’re guaranteed to find what you’re looking for here. 

What Makes Pink a Great Colour for a Living Room?

Does your current sitting room leave a lot to be desired? Your living areas should feel warm and inviting, welcoming you home and encouraging you to relax. 

All-white walls and neutrals are all well and good, but they rarely inspire much passion. With pink, you have an uplifting palette that can invigorate even the smallest of spaces. What’s more, this playful colour family is incredibly versatile. 

If you’re decorating with rose pink, you can reach for pure white, low-key neutrals or more dramatic colours like purple when bringing everything together. Thinking about a hot pink overhaul? Lean into contemporary design ideas and experiment with monochromatic pairings. 

When in doubt, turn to classic complementary colour choices. Balance powder pink walls with charcoal grey or pair pink interiors with neutral soft furnishings. 

Our Favourite Pink Living Room Colours

Waking up the appeal of pink paint colours? Below, you’ll find a selection of some of our favourites. 

Although Milkshake Y411 is a bubblegum-inspired paint colour, this soft pink won’t overwhelm the senses. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a single shade that can be used as an all-wall colour. 

Use in smaller living rooms that need livening up. As it’s a fairly pale shade, you’re not really limited when it comes to selecting other hues for your decor scheme. Classic white, muted grey and metallics will all work nicely here. 

If you prefer a more sophisticated interior, a dusty pink like Pavillion X417 is something to consider. Although this is a dusty shade, it’s on the light side. As such, even a small living room can benefit from a coat or two of this terrific colour option. 

Keep things elegant and understated with gorgeous greiges or contemporary jewel tones. If you want to up the ante, introduce vibrant pink accents to add visual interest. 

Not convinced about conventional pinks yet? How about something like Sunday H480 instead? This soft beige has a hint of pink, bringing the warmth you’re looking for, without the heavy pigment you’re looking to avoid. 

Nonetheless, those subtle undertones provide you with plenty of options for incorporating pink elsewhere in your space. Play around with peach and rose-infused soft furnishings or reach for a more intense shade to paint a feature wall. 

Although Rosy Moment V413 looks fairly dramatic, it’s a surprisingly versatile choice of pink. A darker take on classic rose, this paint colour comes with a neutral base that makes it incredibly versatile. 

Use this one to paint every wall, then keep things simple by turning to pure white or a cool neutral to apply those finishing touches. Alternatively, use it alongside a couple of other pink hues for a tonal living room.

Pink Living Room Colour Schemes

Even if you’re sold on the idea of pink, pulling off a first-class colour scheme isn’t always easy. Need some pointers? Read on for a few stylish schemes you can try. 

For a more mature living room, it’s a good idea to use a dusky pink. Something like Sunday H480 is a good choice. This soft beige works well in living rooms of any size, while pink undertones bring essential warmth. 

Pink and blue always play well together, so try adding something like Sandman V431 to your interior. This medium blue will accentuate a dusky decor palette and can be used fairly liberally without detracting from those pink walls. 

You’ll also need a low-key neutral to balance things out. An off-white colour like Winter V503 is a fine option, with its light grey undertones pairing perfectly with pink and blue. 

If it's intensity you’re looking for, try a richer pink like Rosy Moment V413. It’s a great choice for upping the colour temperature in smaller spaces, but can also hold its own in open-plan arrangements. What’s more, its neutral base provides you with endless options for accessorising. 

If you’re using an intense rose pink like this, try pairing it with a creamy yellow like Spot On. Using these two shades together will bring some low-key rhubarb and custard energy to your space. 

Looking for the perfect neutral to take care of those finishing touches? An alabaster like Steam G497, with this warm white working well with pink and yellow alike.

Sometimes, it pays to be more daring with your colour pairings. Start with a bubblegum pink like Milkshake Y411. Use it on every wall, or balance things out with a slightly softer shade. 

Next, reach for a soft cream hue like Ice Rose J503. Thanks to its pink undertones, this creamy hue works well with bubblegum-infused colours. 

Finally, create contrast by adding something entirely different into the mix. If you want to make a real statement, go with a deep teal like Peacock M366.

If you’re looking for a more straightforward colour scheme, keep things simple with two shades. Rosy Moment V413 is a great option if you’re looking for something that’s both intense and neutral. 

Next, use a mid-tone cream like Wedding Shawl. The perfect partner to pink, this creamy hue has a hint of yellow that will bring an added layer of energy to your living room.
