Romantic Pink and Red Rooms in Honour of Valentine’s Day

Deep pink makes a wonderful accent colour against white, and yet people are afraid to use it. In this UK kitchen, it offers an eye-catching foil to all that white.

Room looking a little blah? An arresting wallpaper, like this one from Cole and Son, beautifully embellishes a white space. The Deco chandelier and quirky bulbous chair are also bringing the love.

Green shiplap makes a serene backdrop to a pink desk. We love the coordinating chair, too. Scour your local salvage stores or Craigslist for paintable furniture then get out the paint and go to town.

A rosy rug steals the show in this airy living room, where navy, pink and ivory beautifully commingle. The tufted settee with the roll-back arms also brilliantly lends an eclectic feel.

Oh, isn’t this charming? Blush-pink roses and a gingham teacup and pot have quiet sophisticated sass on a tabletop.

We’ve fallen in love with this tabletop that has a lot of heart! The single rose on each plate and X-wrap bundled napkins are lovely touches.

Bubblegum pink can be a bit much in a little girl’s room, which is why tempering it with red is a good idea. Colour-block a wall and weave in matching accessories – including hand prints – to create super cute quarters.

Fuchsia accents (that are decidedly fall, but lovely in winter) enliven a corner of this woodsy bedroom. Don’t overlook the side tables and forgotten areas when decorating.

How perfect is this soft pink nursery, accented with elephants and rabbits galore? We think the bright blue backdrop adds just the right amount of contrast to this ultra feminine interior. That’s one lucky little girl who gets to reside here.

We’re head over heels for this pretty bedroom, with walls adorned in feminine wallpaper and pastel pink pillows to match. The gingham headboard adds a splash of much-needed contrast, balancing this room to a tee.

Who knew this much pink could be so soothing? Thanks to its subdued tone, this room’s blush pink walls and bedspread are serene and oh so welcoming.

Want to add red without the commitment? Then choose crimson-coloured pillowcases and accessories such as a cushy, red, plaid blanket. We love how calm this room is, despite the red-hot cushions.

This rustic kid’s room in Cape Town, South Africa, manages to be both elegant and playful. The
salmon walls and colourful hanging bird are a fun addition to the white painted ceiling, antique furniture and flowery chandelier.

Patterned pillows and jewel-bright tones add a fun pop of red against all the grey and white. You don’t need to go super splashy to add vibrancy to a space. The plaid wallpaper also helps jazz up the bedroom.

A fiery red-and-pink vignette against a neutral white backdrop makes for a gorgeous hangout spot in this loft. We love the piles of pillows and the twin lamps that balance the room. Hot!

While the colour of these peachy pink kitchen cabinets is intense, the white stools, walls, and ceiling really help to balance them out. They make quite the bold statement, but we’re totally digging it.
