Planning to give your bedroom a makeover? Consider a pink and grey colour scheme. Pink and grey is a gorgeous colour combination that works beautifully together to create a calm, sophisticated colour scheme. Although grey interiors have always been a popular choice for many people's bedrooms, design experts and interior designers have shown how incorporating pink adds warmth to any grey bedroom.
Seeing as pink is having a moment right now, many people are now looking for ways to add this colour into their spaces. And this is where a pink and grey bedroom becomes a wonderful option.
If you're looking to paint your bedroom pink and plan to accessorise with grey furnishings, International Brand Ambassador for Farrow & Ball Patrick O’Donnell said to bear these ideas in mind when choosing your pink shade. He said: "Whilst pink comes in many shades from the softest plaster shades to bubble gum brightness, look towards the former to inform the right shade for relaxation and gentle tranquillity."
Opting for a fresh, uncomplicated pink is a great choice when planning to paint your bedroom and we suggest looking for a hue that you know will be timeless and delicate enough to be easily decorated with wall art and trendy furnishings too.
Equally, you may be looking to paint your bedroom grey and accessorise with pink furnishings. Described as the ultra-versatile neutral, the colour can easily create different moods in a bedroom depending on its strength and warmth of the shade.
If you're simply looking for an alternative to white walls in your bedroom, we suggested opting for a lighter grey hue, as it will immediately give your bedroom an understated and luxurious feel.
Alternatively, why not just add in some pink or grey furnishings to begin with, so that you can develop your bedroom and experiment with a pink and grey colour scheme.
Whatever you have in mind, here are some of our favourite pink and grey bedroom ideas:
Keep it light
Pale pink looks great in all bedrooms and it's a great way to add a cosy feel to your bedroom. It's also good for small bedrooms, as you tend to not want a shade that make your bedroom seem even smaller. This bedroom inspiration from Farrow & Ball beautifully shows how light pink walls immediately help to create a relaxing space where you can chill out.
Farrow & Ball shade Setting Plaster No.231 is available here.
Try a grey base
By opting for a grey base, this will make it easier for you to add in your favourite hues of pink into your bedroom. International Brand Ambassador for Farrow & Ball Patrick O’Donnell says: "Whilst grey may have fallen from our consciousness as the only colour to decorate with, it’s still very much part of the painting repertoire and a great choice for a clean and uncluttered look."
Farrow & Ball Strong White No.2001 is available here.
Opt for a trendy pink or grey wallpaper
Are you unsure of how to incorporate pink or grey into your bedroom? Choose a pink or grey wallpaper you love and make a feature wall in your bedroom. Not only will the statement wall do all the talking, it's a great way to add a pop of colour into your bedroom without too much designing.
Try out bold pink
If you have an area in your bedroom which you're not sure what to do with, add a pop of colour with a dark pink feature wall. Not only does this make your bedroom look stylish, it's a great way to jazz up any bedroom. Finish off with grey accessories such as grey cushions, throws and more.
This hot shade of pink is Farrow & Ball Nancy's Blushes No.278.
Opt for a stylish grey headboard
If you're looking for a way to elevate your pink room, try adding in a trendy cushioned headboard. A grey headboard will immediately make the pink in your bedroom less of the centre of attention in a good way. We particularly love the Victorian look of this headboard from Dunelm.
Dunelm Margo Faux Linen Headboard is available here.
Bring in pink through accessories
If you're looking for a way to add a subtle accent of pink into your grey bedroom, opt for some gorgeous pink home furnishings. Everything from plush pink cushions to a pink throw will give your bedroom a luxurious feminine touch.

Add in green
A pink and grey bedroom can be hard to elevate without adding in different colours and textures. Green is the perfect shade to mix in with pink and grey in a bedroom colour scheme and will immediately add a touch of zen to your bedroom. We love how this bedroom in particular has opted for a gorgeous forest green headboard and statement green paisley design bedding.
M&S William Morris Pure Cotton Lodden Bedding Set is available here.
Add in a pink chair
There is nothing like a statement chair to finish off a bedroom. Ideal for larger bedrooms, we suggest opting for a pink chair with wooden legs, as these colours compliment grey and will instantly create more of a homely feel.
Dusk Hampshire Loveseat in Blush Pink is available here.
Make the most of a small bedroom
Just because you've got a small bedroom doesn't mean you can't choose two or more colours to use in your space. Make a small bedroom appear bigger by painting walls in one colour and opting for furniture in another. This sense of contrast will help elevate your room, while making sure the colours in your scheme compliment each other.
Choose a pink bed
Looking for a striking way to add pink into your bedroom? A bed is the first piece of furniture most of us see when we step into a bedroom. Therefore, a pink bed is a fabulous way to incorporate the shade into your grey bedroom. Also you can easily compliment your pink bed with some luxe grey sheets, blankets and cushions for a seriously stylish finish.
Our favourite pink bed right now is this sleek, yet stylish option from Dusk.
Try floral bedding
Pink and grey lend themselves very well to floral prints, so why not experiment with floral bedding in your pink and grey bedroom. Whether you prefer a dainty cherry blossom print or a trendy tea rose design, its a great way to subtly add pink into your room.
The Pink Trailing Floral Reversible Duvet Cover is available here.
Add a pink throw
A simple touch, but a pink throw will give a subtle, stylish look to your bed. Alternatively if you have a pink room, add a dark grey throw to add some depth to your bedroom.
If you love a fleecy pink rug, the John Lewis ANYDAY fleece throw in pale pink is one of my favourites this season.
