Loud And Proud Pink: The Bolder Side Of The Spectrum

Pink is a fun and exciting colour that brings an effortlessly warm and charming feel to the home. That said, for many, experimenting with the stronger tones can be daunting, resulting in a more assertive use of the softer shades. That is where we come in to help! In this blog we are going to explore the bolder side of the pink spectrum and how we can implement these super shades into our homes.  Be loud and proud with pink!

Pink and it’s diversity

Pink comes in a variety of guises, and it is up to us to choose the perfect palette for our homes and personal styles. It conveys the sense of relaxation, love, and warmth. All of these aspects are strong foundations for a happy home, therefore injecting pink into our colour schemes will aid in creating our dream homes.

Working with different pink tones doesn’t mean that they need to be matching perfectly 24/7, simply working within the same tone spectrum will create a colour palette of excitement and energy, turning your home into a mature pink palace!

Different shades of bold pink

Bold pink tones create an unapologetic style statement within interior design. They are there to be seen and can be incredibly captivating and intriguing when executed correctly. Nevertheless, finding the perfect balance between stylishly transforming the home, and looking like a candy floss machine exploded can be a bit tricky. Here’s how to avoid those fashion faux pas.

Being bold and glamorous with raspberry!

Being on the richer side of the spectrum, raspberry pink sits closely with its big sister, red. Associated with the same excitement and passions to that primary colour, raspberry pink brings in an energetic yet glamorous look to any interior scheme.

When it comes to adding raspberry pink into your existing décor a great starting point is through floral prints. Acting as a building block, they combine a variety of colours, patterns, and textures, allowing you to be in full control of how daring you want to go. Whether you choose to go with a large-scale floral print in the form of floral curtains, roman blinds, or roller blinds; or decide to start small with splashes seen throughout lampshades and cushions, Blinds Direct have a wonderful variety to choose from.

Accessorising to perfection with fuchsia!

Fuchsia is yet another bold and daring colour to inject into your colour scheme, but like raspberry, if implemented correctly the final look can be striking and entirely chic.

Fuchsia is a colourway that can range from purple to pink, emitting warmth and charm into a space. However, it is best used in a scattering of pink home accessories such as lampshades and cushions, rather than all over your four walls. Spending a prolonged length of time in a room drenched in Fuchsia could become a little overbearing, whereas gentle spots of the colour will make it feel elegant and calming, without being dull.

To ensure the space doesn’t become too fuchsia focused, combining it with different colourways such as navy blue, greens, and creams, can help soften its appearance. The implementation of Roman blinds are a great starting point when experimenting with this colourway, as throughout the day, while the blinds are open you can reduce how domineering the colour will be within the space. Yet in the evenings when the blinds are down, the warming colourway will bring a sense of relaxation. Perfect for settling down to.

Energise your space with hot pink!

Feeling like you want to get in touch with your inner Elle Woods? Then hot pink is the colourway for you! It can be a colour that you simply accessories with to bring depth and charm to your décor scheme without engulfing the space. Or if you are feeling more daring, celebrate it through wallpaper paired with whites and cream tones to create a glamours, warming atmosphere. Either approach will certainly create a captivating interior scheme.

With a range of hot pink furnishings to choose from, injecting this bold colourway into the home has never been easier. To create a visually impactful space the use of hot pink panel blinds is the perfect choice, style with off whites, greens and floral prints to soften the appearance. From there you will be able to layer the colourway up and evolve the décor to fit your design style.

Colour combinations for an impactful interior!

To help soften the strong impact pink can have in spaces, we have a selection of colourways that work wonderfully with the vibrant pinks. Read on to find out more.

Going for green!

One of the great classic colour combinations for pinks is with green. This classic colour combination stems back to nature, where blooming flowers contrast against grass and leaves. This is the main reason as to why we find it very comforting and cosseting when it comes to interior design, and the emotive powers of this colour combination make it a favourite for bedrooms and bathrooms.

Indulgent dark blues

Pink and blue is a well-known and popular colour combination, however it tends to be the paler tones that many go for, such as pastel pinks and duck egg blues. Using stronger shades dark blue of these colourways create a fun and impactful interior, balancing both a masculine and feminine touch.

Pink on pink

Despite us repeatedly mentioning how to avoid going “full Elle Woods”, there is something incredibly captivating about a pink-on-pink colour scheme. Working with shades from the same hue brings depth and dimension to the space. Or if working in a range of different pink shades is what you want to play around with, a peachy pink tone will complement the stronger shades, lifting the overall feel and look of the décor. Check out our ‘Colour Focus; Peachy Pink’ blog to learn how to bring this delicate pink tone into your décor and layer up with the stronger pink shades.

Overall strong pinks are a great way for adding energy and dimension into a space, they emit warmth and charm that can create a space of complete relaxation.
