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.
If you’ve been thinking about pursuing a pink room, but aren’t sure where to start, we’ve collected 34 dreamy pink bedrooms to get you inspired to revamp your walls and decor. See how top designers use pink to drum up unexpected dynamism (plus figure out if you’re more team blush or hot pink), with this alluring collection of pink retreats.

A pink palette in a girls’ room needn’t dictate florals and scallops. As the firm Lisa Gilmore Design shows, pink can be intermixed with bohemian elements like rattan lighting fixtures and tribal rugs to cue up an equally darling effect.
31 Pink Daydream
Primary hues are often called upon for homes possessing Mid-Century architecture, but as Studio Gild shows in this Palm Springs bedroom, pink can feel equally sunny and MCM-friendly.

Afraid of a bubblegum-colored bedroom leaning too sweet? Try designer Scott Sanders’ approach in this coastal escape and pair it with a bold pattern and a fearless contrasting hue like chartreuse.
