What Houzz contributors are saying:
Wood is also great with wall colors that already add warmth, such as a soft pink. Both have red undertones, so the lack of contrast makes both elements feel like they fit in peacefully.
Smoky pink. Rich, warm pinks with a bit of gray or brown are sophisticated and (despite preconceptions about pink) equally appealing to men and women. Warm rose, peony and raspberry pinks with a bit of smokiness look magnificent with rich browns and champagne.Tell us: What is your favorite shade of pink, and how do you use it in your home?More: Nature’s Color Wisdom: Lessons on Green From the Great Outdoors
A yellow-tone pink glows against the warm wood of the trim and provides a sophisticated background for this traditional room. Layers of pink, as long as they are in the same family, always work beautifully.
A pink ottoman takes center stage in high style here in the company of brown and gold accents.
Pink tones in the Persian rug, the ottoman and the cushions on the Chinese wishbone chairs blend perfectly. Notice how the soft shade of pink on the walls complements the stain-grade moldings.
7. Assess the scale of your furniture. Often we try to cram the furniture that worked in a previous home into the current space, even when the scale is no longer a good match for the room. In a small room, you will generally want to avoid the overstuffed and oversize in favor of small-scale pieces. But it is possible to go too far, filling the room with too many itty-bitty things. Strive for balance.
Off-whites are not limited to ivory, tan and pale yellow. Expand your range by using whites that are tinted with colors such as coral or apricot. These warm peachy-pinks are well suited for traditional spaces and they are always in vogue.
Color affects us deeply, and pink is still the females' domain. The curvy lines of these chairs, combined with their shell-pink silk upholstery, are all feminine charm in this lovely room. Girls (and women) only here!
