5 Pink Living Room Ideas

From summer night sunsets to those tiny marshmallows sprinkled on hot chocolates, tons of lovely, joyful things come in pink. So, why not bring this joyful colour to your home with a pink living room?

And while you are completely free to embrace a top-to-bottom bubble gum pink sitting room with a pretty-in-pink sofa and matching pink walls, there are tons of ways to create a pink room décor with a touch of subtlety too.

So, whether you’re already eyeing up pink wallpaper or you’d prefer to sprinkle specks of pink across your room, we’ve got plenty of pink room design ideas to help you get started.

With any interior design project, it’s best to start with the wall colour - this will help you choose matching pink living room furniture later on. And for a pink room décor, there’s plenty of colours to discuss.

Now, of course you can go fully pink with a monochrome hot pink home décor, but why not go for some eye-catching contrast with a blue and pink living room? Try soft, blush pink walls with a dark ocean blue for any jutting out walls, alcoves, skirting boards and door frames.

But for a more subtle pink room idea, pink feature walls are ideal! Simply choose a matching neutral shade for the rest of the room - beige, sage green, or grey create a lush duo here, and don’t be afraid of going extreme with a black and pink room décor! Then paint your walls in the matching shade, leaving one bare for the pink colour.

With your pink living room walls sorted, let’s look at how we can dress the room with matching furniture.

While pink is a lovely, vivacious colour, it actually pairs well with the subtlety of natural furniture - we’re talking oak coffee tables, stone based lamps, and dark wood bookshelves. However, if this doesn’t suit your style, then crisp, gloss white pieces match with a pink room décor just as well.

Now, if you really want to be bold with your pink living room, then the luxury appeal of gold furniture works well with the playfulness of a pink living room décor. Not only that, but gold furniture in a pink living room is perfect for creating a characterful maximalist living room too!

As with any room, you want your space to feel lively and lived in. And what better way to bring a bit of life into your pink living room than adding some luscious plants? As these plants will be indoors, you’ll want low maintenance indoor plants, so they stay happy and healthy. Plants like cacti are ideal for rooms with lots of natural light, with very minimal watering requirements – once every two weeks with tepid water – making them ideal for sprucing up your pink sitting room.

However, for something with a bit more va va voom a String of Hearts plant is ideal, hang from sideboards and shelves to allow the leaves to languidly drape towards the floor. You only need to water these once or twice a week, and that should keep them in their most dramatic shape with a fresh condition for as long as possible.

The ideal piece for a pink living room? A pink sofa of course! So, let’s explore how to complete your pink living room with the perfect sofa for you. In terms of colour, you can go for a pink sofa in a similar hue to the walls, to blend in with the rest of your pink living room. Alternatively, you could go with a contrasting colour for the walls to make your pink living room sofa really pop! Colours like white or beige work here, but you can get creative with colours like yellow or even orange.

And at DFS, we consider ourselves the sofa experts, so it only makes sense we’ve got a ton of different sofa styles for you to choose from! A corner sofa is ideal for gathering the whole family together, while a Chesterfield sofa matches perfectly with the dramatic, playful nature of a pink living room. And from pastel pink to magenta, we have plenty of shade options so you can find one that matches your taste.

And now for the finishing touches – from accent lights to cosy rugs, there are tons of ways to accentuate the joyful nature of a living room with a pink décor.

First up, LED string fairy lights offer a delicate touch to your pink living room, helping light the room up with a subtle, soft glow. For a small living room, try draping these around the outer edges of your ceiling to create the illusion of more space.

Perhaps one of the most perfect matches for a pink sitting room is a big, fluffy rug! Go full Barbie core with a pink rug, or more subtle with a cream one - then place this in front of your sofa. Take your feet from the comfort of your sofa and sink them right into the soft feel of a cosy rug – what could possibly be better?

Now, a living room should reflect you and your life, and that’s why you should consider a gallery wall – the ultimate highlighting accent that personalises your space. Try printing and hanging photos of family and friends in a polaroid style to elevate the playful feel of a pink living room. And for a more luxurious style, frame your pics in golden photo frames!
