Thinking About Painting Your Walls Pink?

In short - just all of them. Pink paint suits all spaces, especially if we consider hundreds of popular shades and tens of thousands of possible combinations. Bright or bold, in just one or several hues, dominating or with just a hint of paint, pink paint covers all interiors.

The water-resistant paint in pink color is a popular choice for bathrooms. Being still 'a girly color' pink is an obvious solution for the space where girls and ladies spend so much time. It's soft and soothing, perfect for relaxing after a long working day, but it can be an invigorating option for a vibrant start to the day as well.

Bathrooms are often small, so a dusky pink paint for the walls with a white ceiling is a great possibility to create an optical illusion of greater space. The opposite way is an aggressive combination of pink with bolder colors, like dark shades of blue or green.

And, of course, you can use pink for details only.

Kitchen walls are not confined in white, beige, ivory, and different pastels, suggesting cleanness and freshness, anymore. Pink paint goes great in the kitchen, being used for walls cabinets, or just some specific elements, like a refrigerator or table with chairs.

Pink possesses the right amount of energy for the working space and improves one's appetite if the kitchen is the eating place. At the same time, it can be calm enough to keep the mood of the users relaxed enough to be able of spending a lot of time on more demanding kitchen projects or enjoy longer meals in pleasant company.

As you already know colors have an important impact on appetite. That's why restaurants love the red color and avoid everything blue. Pink, obviously falls in the family of reds. Pink walls, especially in bolder tones, will make you feel a bit hungrier and your food a bit tastier.

Don't exaggerate, because too strong reddish and purplish tones can make you too excited and irritable, which is not a perfect basis for a nice family dinner. Like always, it's good to start with something easy (like pale pink paint on the walls with a white ceiling, or maybe only one pink wall among ivory ones) and add more pink with time curtains, furniture, accessories, ...).

The living room is the heart of each home. This is where we hang out the most, accept visits, or just loosen up in front of the television. Pink in its huge versatility of countless shades is a great paint that can create the perfect vibe you intend to create.

Again, pink paint is not necessarily used for walls only. It's not necessarily used just in one shade and definitely not necessarily the only color you can select. The white ceiling is a classic choice for a combo, with pale pinks on the wall and a possibility to add some more daring pink paints with a higher percentage of red with an addition of red or blue to create a vibrant feel for the residents.

Pink in the sleeping room is a stereotypically girly color. Yet, in its paler tones, sometimes edging on very bright yellow, it has a calming effect on men too. On the other hand, it's the most sensual color, which can add a little extra to the tenderness of a loving couple.

A pink bedroom is a welcoming place with a warm, safe feeling, exemplary for a sleeping space. If you don't want to look it too girly, just don't go overboard - balance pink with other colors, especially earthly tones, use contrasting accessories with a rough, pattern, or metallic look, and be careful at choosing fabrics (burlap is definitely more masculine than satin, for instance), etc. In short: don't go overboard. A good approach is to start with something soft, and non-aggressive and add more with time when you got a better idea if you need to add more pinkish or more other hues.

While pink undoubtedly belongs in the most playful room in the house, its use is probably the most tricky among all the interiors.

First of all, you need to consider the gender of the kid. Girls will very likely love it but boys can like it too at least in some certain period of childhood. Second, the taste will change and for children, it can change with the speed of light. Things are further complicated if we have more than one kid per room, their taste could be next to impossible to match.

Then, there are also visitors who have an impact, not to mention kids' peers and role models. So, it's best to start pretty neutral and add pink (the same is true for other vivid colors) with specific elements, like curtains, wallpaper, surfaces of the furniture, stickers, toys, etc. In short, go with pink like you intend to keep it forever yet you could remove it tomorrow.

The colors of the laundry room should be approached similarly to the colors of the kitchen. Essentially it's a working place, so a hint of energetic pink could only help. It's also a place that identifies with hygiene, so white and pasteles are always a good option.

Pink posses both and we just need to find the right shades and combinations to achieve the perfect result. This will not necessarily succeed at once. Sometimes we need to experiment a bit to find an optimal solution but it's important to have a general idea, to have the right motivation, and probably most important of all: to start.

We could go on and on with different rooms in the house or even expand the usage of pink paint to exteriors but you probably already have an idea of how to paint your life with just a hint or a large dose of pink.
