Please help settle a debate - Will this pink bed work with pink walls?

6 years ago

My daughter's bedroom is a very pale pink, called "Benjamin Moore Pink Essence" (which is just a hint of pink). I am about to buy her a "big girl bed" and before I pull the trigger, would this pink upholstered daybed work? I think it would be a nice compliment to the walls....same pink tone, but a darker shade (I'm hoping! I can return if it doesn't work). I plan on getting white bedding with pink piping/edges and monogrammed pillows (and some "fun" kid sheets of her choice). Her bureaus are also white. I'm going for a very feminine, soft look. I'll add in additional pops of color with the sheets, throw pillows and artwork.

My husband thinks you can't have a pink bed if the walls are also pink.


Thoughts? Does this bed work if the walls are also pale pink, but lighter?


Here's a link to the bed as well as a picture. https://www.littleseedskids.com/product/little-seeds-monarch-hill-ambrosia-pink-upholstered-daybed-with-trundle/

    To answer your question, yes - you can put a pink bed in a pink room. But, Its really hard to say without seeing the paint and the bed together, as pinks can run peachy, blueish, purpleish, etc..; plus, the strength of the pigment will make a difference. If the pinks are slightly off, you can always use an area rug and artwork to pull the colors together.

    My vote is yes, absolutely. My daughter‘s childhood room was the same — pale blush walls with a darker pink headboard and white dresser. Very pretty. I think your husband is probably thinking of it in a vacuum, without other furniture, decor, and colors in there, too. Plus, that paint color, as you said, is extremely pale.

    That daybed is beautiful!

    Some various pinks with pinks:

    Bed is lovely and paint can easily be adjusted if it clashes or is too much for room. You could do a half wall to break up the pink or wall paper behind bed for example.

    Jinx and Maureen - those pictures are exactly the "look" I'm going for! LOVE, thank you!!! I also love the idea of adding a wallpapered accent wall behind the bed, just in case it's not a true tone match. I wonder if I could pull off removable wallpaper without his help?!?

    You can easily remove wallpaper on your own. Just need patience if it comes off in smaller pieces. Search iTube for tutorial. If you are wanting to add paper on your own, peel and stick would be easier. I’ve wallpapered on my own and it was no fun, especially when I did a staircase! If you have never done before, you may want to ask for help from someone who has.

    I’d go with a white background vs pink

    I like the pinks, but I think a day bed would be a pain for daily sleeping.

    She’s only 2.5 years old, it won’t be her forever bed.

    IMO a daybed is not a good choice for an actual bed. I am tall and hate foot boards for that reason. As for the pink IMO never do a color for a permanent piece in a kids bedroom since the favorite color changes yearly . get a nice neutral headboard on a regular bed get a trundle if you need the extra sleeping space and then get pink bedding that can be changed next year . Why not get a forever bed and save the money for the changes that are coming.
