Yay or nay?

Our floor is dark oak, like the first picture, and we have a vaulted ceiling (so lots of white contrast). I like black and white accents, and maybe a bit of red.

Or should I go paler with the pink? Our first thought was yellow, but we can't agree on a shade and I don't have any other ideas. (It's currently white, so anything but that!)

Thoughts?

Both of the photos show the same pink.

Do it, I think it looks fresh & pretty, but grown up still.

My bedroom is pink and I still like it but I think I'd go with a different shade now. Mine is F&B Middleton and I have it on the wardrobes too. Floors are white and furniture is a sort of greeny-grey. It's very calming.

I had a pink bedroom for a while - it was a kind of salmon colour that my ex chose and it ended up being really cosy.

I had a lavender-pink on my bedroom walls when I lived in Sheffield and it was lovely and calming. I think if you avoid the baby blush pinks it can be a really grown-up colour.

I love that. I've got a patterned pink wallpaper on one wall in our H, S&L and I really like it.

I really like it, but I think in reality it depends on the type of light you have coming into the room. Lovely in a warm-light room, possibly a bit naff in a cold-light room.


Errmm, by which I mean if the room actually receives natural sunlight, or if its north/north-east facing instead.

I have a pink bedroom, but I went for a plaster colour. I love the colour of dried plaster! I have dark green and gold accents and oak flooring.

I would be wary of a baby pink as in your pictures as it feels a bit nursery to me.

I love dried plaster too! I tried to go for that but it ended up more peachy. What colour is yours?

The hall and landing here was salmon when we bought it. It looked hideous.

I don't think it looks baby pink though, and certainly not on the wall with my sample pot. There is a lot of pink to sort through and I tried to steer clear of obvious nursery pink. I think a lot of it will be in the styling anyway. I'm going to go for that one, thanks for all the input! I think I just needed a few people to love it too. :))

It's Benjamin Moore - Pleasant Pink.

I definitely wouldn't call that baby pink either.

Do it. My kitchen is a similar colour and it makes me feel really happy. Mine was more of a pink pink but I think the one you've chosen up there is great for a bedroom, nice a calm.

I love it - I'm after a pink bedroom after my friend did hers in F&B calamine. It looks so good.

I read you can get Benjamin Moore paint in the UK now :weewee: I always loved their colours in the US.

I love it too, my daughter’s room is pink and we compromised on a sort of old fashioned granny/rose pink. I love the shade in those pictures, it’s gorgeous.

All I can see is salmon. Fish. Fish. Fish. I don’t like pink though. And I have no style.

Mine is Fresh Plaster by Craig & Rose. It looks really different depending on the time of day.

Thanks, that's the one I had colour matched, but mine's definitely not pink annoyingly!
