34 Dreamy Bedrooms That Will Make You Rethink Pink

It’s no secret that pink can be polarizing. Historically reserved for nurseries, pink has traditionally been pigeonholed as girlish and sweet. These days, however, designers are illustrating that it’s possible to re-think pink and cast it in sophisticated—even rebellious—new ways. Today’s top designers are especially fond of employing pink in bedrooms. Whether it be a coastal-inspired retreat awash in a soft shade of desert pink, or an avant-garde hideaway decked out in an electric shade of raspberry, designers are unapologetically adding pink to the bedroom conversation.

Changing how pink bedrooms are perceived is all about balance. To temper overly cloying connotations, designers are fond of turning to dark, complementary colors. Shades of blue and green—more weighty colors that reside on the opposite end of the color spectrum—are often employed for the task, as are gray and black hues. Another alternative is to opt for a more vivid shade of pink, like fuchsia for a bedroom. With its rock-n-roll connotations, high-wattage shades of pink are perfect for busting pink’s reputation as saccharine. Still, other designers are inclined to introduce an element of irreverence to bridle pink’s girlish glee. Whether it be a supporting cast of traditional antiques, or a fleet of postmodern furniture with playground-like silhouettes, partnering pink with an element of the unexpected is a sure way to liberate it.
