Use...warm peach tones
Peachy shades are a sophisticated alternative to sugary pinks while still brightening up a dull space
INTRODUCE WARMTH Peachy pinks are a great choice for adding warmth to a living space, perhaps a north-facing room that’s starved of natural light, leaving it feeling dingy and flat. Look to inject a coral/peachy toned pink to lift the spirits and take a soft approach to using pink paint.
TEAM WITH SOFT GREY TONES Soft peach pinks pair beautifully with pale greys to create a dreamily serene, almost nostalgic colour scheme that feels effortlessly calming. Balance further with the introduction of cool, fresh blues.
MIX WITH NATURALS Earthy tones blend beautifully with other natural colours, from soft creams, whites and wood tones to vibrant leaf greens.
BRING IT TO LIFE Add texture by picking statement panelled furniture like this contemporary drinks cabinet. For a natural artisanal touch, display a woven wall hanging.
SMALL-SCALE PATTERN Peachy corals work best teamed with simple and modern furniture. It may look too sugary with traditional cottage-style or shabby-chic pieces.
Use...accent shades
Break up your pink scheme with splashes of complementary colour – from bold blues to sunny yellows
GO BOLD WITH FURNITURE Don’t be afraid to keep/buy bolder furniture pieces in fear that they won’t suit your pink living room scheme. A complete contrast in sofa or armchair choice can actually be very grounding, giving definition to the pieces and adding depth to the overall look.
