Help decorating pink wall

last modified: 6 years ago

I have a pink feature wall in my living room and cannot settle on what to put on the wall. The rest of the room is white.

    Can you add more photos showing the entire room?

    yes please show the entire room. The mirror is too high and too wide to hang over that cabinet

    It's a nice color. I would look for two large pieces of art that has greenery and white mattes. Art is very personal, so look for something that is meaningful to you. You could also do a gallery wall, but again, keep the mattes white so you have some contrast.

    Hi,

    I would do something over scale. 4x4 or large rectangle. Something that has a lot of white in it.

    And IMO, the mirror is not to big but, could be lower. You might consider propping it on the dresser.

    To my eye, black and white are the best complements to pink. I'd think about black-and-white photographs, with black frames, matted in white.

    Really looks more salmon/coral on my monitor than pink. But regardless, find some fun framed posters or artwork from Minted.com. Do a gallery wall as suggested above in both white and gold frames. The artwork should have complementary colors like spring greens, light blues, and maybe some soft yellows.


    A few suggestions:

    On mine it looks sort of peach!

    Hi everyone, thanks for all your helpful comments! I've attached fuller pics of the room. In terms of the colour, yes it's closer to a salmon pink (the colour is Rhubarb Custard by Valspar), but it very much changes depending on the light coming in from the window.

    I think you should paint all the walls that color.

    I would switch the TV and sofa and change the curtains to match the sofa.

    The pinks fight eachother for sure IMO too many styles trying to work together. As for wat to put on the wall what do you like ? I find the space too confusing to guess your style.

    Back in the 80's I had a tiny pink dining room. Art was a poster with lots of navy in it. Navy could be a good accent for you and even the curtains would look better in navy (or black- see below.) Move the mirror and hang it 5" above the sofa. Move the sofa art right of the window, centered 5' above the floor and try the bar cart under it. Replace the TV stand with a credenza wide enough for TV and record player, with storage for records. Once the bar cart is moved, the pink chair can go to the window end of a much larger rug. I like a rug to slip under the front 1/3 - 1/2 of a sofa and for a leggy chair to sit entirely on it. Another option for you would be to float the sofa facing the window with the bar cart and chair on the white wall. Then push your dining table up behind the sofa with 3 chairs and put the 4th chair in the corner by the white cabinet. Get a swivel base for the TV instead of the feet so you can adjust it for best viewing.

    or mix with mirrors

    Thank you so much everyone for your advice. It is very much appreciated. I think I'm going to go with a gallery wall.

  • 6 years ago

    Maybe think about a new, longer TV console first. It will impact the scale and set up if your gallery wall.
    I love the idea for art with white mattes

  • 6 years ago

    I think I will actually switch the room around so that the sofa is up against the pink wall and put the gallery above sofa

  • 6 years ago

    A low white console with enclosed storage would help simplify the space and control any clutter.

    I like your colors, including the pink chair and the drapery. Love the wall color!

    I would do four square black and white photos across the wall.
