Why choose a pink bathroom?

A homely colour

Pink bathrooms can be both fun and stylish, and they offer an enriching and unique way to add personality to your home. This warm and uplifting colour can re-energise even the dullest-looking bathroom.

Even if you're not planning a major renovation, adding a few pink accents can make a big difference in the overall look and feel of your bathroom.

Its inviting hues and soft tones can be mixed and matched through wall colours, furniture and accessories to create an immersive and cosy homely feel.

 

An opportunity to break the mould

When it comes to bathroom refurbishments, pink is often overlooked in favour of more traditional colours like white or blue.

However, this traditional powder room colour is making new waves across the bathroom decor scene.

The use of pink can be as subtle or as stand out as you like. And if it’s something one-of-a-kind or a little quirky that you’re setting out to achieve, pink is the way to go.

It’s unlikely that many of your friends or family have a pink bathroom, but with careful planning and thoughtful execution, everyone will want a pink bathroom after they've had a glimpse of how pink is a tasteful and existing bathroom colour.

There’s so much choice with pink

A pink bathroom can be whatever you make of it. Everything comes down to personal taste.

Whilst you may love light and fluffy candy floss pink that gives you a sense of soft and cosy comfort, someone else may find it too light and sickly for their tastes.

They may instead prefer a fiery tropical pink that reminds them of a beachy holiday sunset and vibrant memories.

Alternatively, you may prefer a pink that resembles a natural colour, such as flamingo pink or perhaps ocean coral pink.

Go as pink as you like. And, if you’re still not sure, it’s certainly worthwhile flicking through the colour books before you rule out what this fun and flirty colour could do for your space.

 

What colours work with pink in a bathroom?

One of the best things about pink is that it works so well with a range of different colours. It’s a natural fit in mostly monochrome bathrooms that may be in need of an injection of uplifting and fragrant colour.

Pink pairs well with natural colours such as oaks, marble greys and dark slate greys.

Some may also be surprised to find out that light and orangy pinks work well with natural greens such as khaki or dark sage.

And finally, pink is a perfect pairing with deep satin blue and even navy to add a luxury yet energising lift to an effortlessly glamorous colour.

When it comes to fixtures and fittings, pink isn't fussy. Chrome will enable pink to take the lead as the radiant stand-out colour, whilst matte black will emphasize the use of light and dark tones across the room. Brushed brass is the perfect pairing with pinks that are closer to the orangy section of the colour wheel.

 

Pink bathroom design ideas

There are so many ways to do up a bathroom using pink. We’re here with a few design ideas to get you started.

A subtle touch of pink

Just because you’ve decided that a pink bathroom is the look for you, needless to say, you don’t have to splatter every surface from wall to ceiling in pink.

Sometimes, just a subtle addition of colour can go a long way in completely changing up the feel of a room.

If you’re looking to stay on the more conservative side of pink, a pink feature wall is a great place to start.

Splash a splosh of light dusky or candyfloss pink on your window wall to illuminate and warm the space. Build out a clean and refreshing space around the feature wall with gleaming white tiles, a bright white basin or vanity unit and a back-to-wall toilet.

Or if you’re looking for something a little silkier, use a combination of white wall tiles at the bottom and soft light grey on the top half of the remaining walls.

Keep the light grey theme running into your bathroom furniture.

Opt for a sophisticated grey floating vanity unit paired with a stunning square countertop basin to add extra depth and spa-like character.

And for the small extra that makes a big difference, choose a gleaming high-rise chrome tap, an illuminating mirrored light cabinet and a few pink accessories to tie together the wall and central bathroom space.

Choose an ultra-modern and small space-friendly toilet style in the form of a wall-hung square design to mimic the square shape of the basin and vanity unit.

To bring the grey, white and pink together in a perfectly paired geometric ensemble, pick a patterned floor that mixes together the three cute, quaint and contemporary colours.

Want to turn the tone down a notch? Create a stark contrast between your florally pink wall and your bathroom features by adding some black to the mix?

Swap out your light-coloured vanity for a black wall-hung vanity unit with chrome handles. Pair with a stylish black WC unit.

Marry together the black furniture and fittings with the walls by choosing a black window blind and a luxury black radiator.

Another way to incorporate a pink feature wall is by using pink tiles. Whilst these could be placed anywhere around your bathroom, for a practical, yet sophisticated use of these bold and bright coloured tiles, why not opt for a pink tiled shower?

For something extra special on the eye, add a touch of texture, by placing them in a herringbone pattern.

You could also feature a practical cubby hole for shower gels, lotions and positions by creating a recessed shower shelf, using the tiles to blend the shelf with the wall.

Complete the look by choosing a matt black two-outlet shower kit, complete with a soothing rainfall shower head as well as a handy hand-held shower.

 

A black and pink bathroom

Black and pink are two colours that work intrinsically with each other to assemble utter sophistication, whilst giving you the opportunity to add a playful twist to this retro bathroom colour.

To keep things classically light, use a pink feature wall and a standout black wall-hung vanity unit.

By choosing a chrome finish across accessories and features such as the taps, the shower enclosure and the towel rail, the vanity unit and pink wall coverage will effortlessly stand out as the key features.

Use a black blind on your pink feature wall to tie the two tones together and white across the rest of the walls to emphasize the contrast and keep the room feeling light and spacious. Don’t be afraid to use tiles to add more texture for 3D effect.

To build out the fun and funky modern look, add more pink and black.

Use rectangular light pink tiles in the shower and behind your vanity unit and toilet. Pick pink for your accessories such as vases, blinds and shower or bath matt.

When it comes to drawing darker accents into the mix, a matte black shower enclosure is a superb starting point.

If you have a smaller space, choose a quadrant-style shower to save on space. Or if you have more room to play with, you could choose a wet room shower with a black wetroom screen.

Select matte black for your taps and shower kit to dabble a little more black across the space, as well as an elongating black floor-standing vanity unit.

When it comes to the toilet choice, keep things simple with a back-to-wall toilet, that allows other features across the bathroom to do all of the talking.

And, for a final splash of black, choose a stunning toasty warm black designer radiator.

Wondering what to do with the floor? Opt for a neural wood-effect dusky floor colour. Choose matching toothbrush pots and towels to blend this more subtle tone into the space. Alternatively, if you want to add more pink, go for accessories that are a few shades darker than your wall colour.

 

Tropical peachy pink and green

Feeling adventurous and looking to create a bathroom full of colour and vibrancy? Design a bathroom that makes you happy every day when using a cosmopolitan mega mix of colours, including pink.

Choose coral pink to bring a taste of the tropics into your bathroom space. Mix it with earthy greens and classic moody blues.

Even in and amongst these beautiful colours, pink can truly come into its own as the standout colour.

Here’s how…

Paint the wall a soothingly humble green. Add metro-style white tiles behind the vanity unit to blend the walls into the floor. Then choose a white floor with speckles of blues, pinks and greens.

Bring blue into the bathroom across your features. Choose a stunning navy-blue floor-standing vanity unit and match it with a slimline storage cupboard, WC unit and bath panel.

Opt for warming brushed brass accessories, taps and shower door to add a homely glow.

And for the pink?

Create a stunning shower bath backdrop using small rectangular tiles positioned lengthways. This will accentuate wall height, and the brightness will turn your luxury shower bath into a stand-out feature that echoes warmth and depth across the space.

If you want to tone down the colour a smidgen, opt for a shady grey bath panel and matching furniture.

Swap out brushed brass for cool chrome taps and fixtures. A round rainfall shower is a showstopping indulgent extra that will conclude this stunning pink bathroom redesign.

 

Natural stone grey with candyfloss pink

Mix together pretty pinks with natural tones and textures.

Grey and pink are another superb complementary colour combo and are particularly on trend at the moment within the interior design world. So why not scatter a little love for grey and pink across your bathroom?

Paint two parallel walls a light and fluffy candyfloss pink. Choose industrial-style marble panels across the remaining walls and floors.

For added depth and extra shelf storage, build a half-stud wall. Use this wall to conceal toilet pipework when installing a short projectile back-to-wall toilet.

Then, bring a hint of nature into your space by choosing a quality wooden oak wall-hung vanity unit. This sophisticated change in colour will turn the basin area into the main centrepiece of the room, giving a more natural feel.

Indoor house plants are a great way to bring an extra boost or naturally energising vibrancy and colour. Place them on your newly built shelf.

In keeping with the grey theme, choose chrome taps. And to match and warm the room up a little more, it’s got to be an exquisite chrome towel rail, perfect for keeping your fluffy towels and favourite dressing gown warm and at the ready.

If you want to add a final dusting of pink, choose rose gold accessories such as towel rings, hooks, toothbrush pots and soap dishes to complete your picture-perfect pink bathroom paradise.
