Pretty Color Combo: Pink and Blue
I work as a blogger for businesses although I do a variety of different types of writing. I particularly enjoy writing about all aspects of design and creativity. I think that your home should reflect your personality and that it should change as you change. More about me at www.kathrynvercillo.com and http://diaryofasmartchick.com.

When selecting colors for a home, most people do not think about using pink and blue together. This is probably due to the fact that for so long pink was considered a girls' room color and blue was considered a boys' room color. This trend tricked the mind into thinking that the two colors didn't belong together.
However, these colors can be really great together if you give them a chance. The easiest way to combine them is to choose light or pastel shades of each. It is definitely possible to get bolder with one or both color when using them together, though.
Pink and blue as a combination works in several different rooms. It's great for furniture especially painted furniture. The colors can be combined in a single piece or in two adjacent pieces.
Play around with it and have some fun. You might be surprised by this color combination.

Yellow is a terrific color to use in a room that will have both pink and blue together. It brings out the best in both of the other colors.

A light shade of green is another good color choice to add to a pink and blue combination. I like the way that all three colors are used together in the pillow to tie together the entire space.

This pink and blue blanket shows just how well these colors can go together. This light shade of pink is one of the best options to choose when pairing pink with blue.

It is not necessary to stick only with those light shades when combining these colors, though. Look how a bold decision to use peacock blue with bright pink can actually work in a room!

| Here is another example of a bold pink and blue selection. As we can see, when choosing the bolder option, the blue tends to dominate and the pink is more of an accent color. |

Here's another blue and pink sofa that has a totally different feel to it. Personally I like the option of choosing a light blue and then adding a very bright pink to it like this.

I can't quite tell what color the thinnest lines of this wallpaper are but think they would definitely work in a pink shade. Stripes are a good pattern decision when working with blue and pink together in a room.

What a fun space we have here! It's the boldness of the blue and pink room accessories that really make this room interesting.

One terrific option for test driving pink and blue together in your space is to add bright pink flowers to an area that already has blue furniture or walls.

It is also definitely possible to play with the combination of blue and pink together outside in a garden. Get flower seeds in various shades of each and have at it!
