PINK BATHROOM IDEAS
Keep your Vintage Pink Tiles
Pink ceramic tiled bathrooms were very common in 50s and 60s design. If you are a lucky homeowner with a somewhat dated, mid-century bathroom that you would like to renovate, this tip is for you. Before stripping your bathroom of all its novelties, we hope this article inspires you to incorporate your vintage pink tile into your new pink bathroom design and embrace it as a unique focal point.
Modern Pink Tiles
And if your home did not come with vintage tiles intact, there are plenty of modern ceramic tile varieties that are just as inspiring to use. Play with contemporary shapes and patterns to make your tile choice more bold. You can also play with the size of your tiles or opt for a head-to-toe tiled “wet room” design where the tiles extend to the entire room making it waterproof.
Try Pink and Green Color Combinations
If decorating your bathroom in head-to-toe pink sounds intimidating, try experimenting with complimentary color combinations such as green and pink. Adding pops of color in combinations you naturally gravitate towards is a simple way to explore using pink. Pink can be such a fun contrast color or accent in your bathroom. A smart way to use color combinations like pink and green is in unique tile patterns or your countertops.
Add Pink Grout
Another simple way to slowly dip your toe into using pink is to try pink grout. Using colorful grout is a fun and creative way to add depth to your space and add subtle accents to your bathroom. You can use pink grout with regular white subway tiles or even complimentary colored tiles. The end look feels like a subtle modern twist to a classic bathroom.
Chose Colorful Pink Slabs of Stone
Of course, in addition to considering pink walls or pink tiles, integrating pink stone countertops like pink Calcutta marble is a modern way to add a pop of pink color to your bathroom. Veining in rich pink and magenta hues feel incredibly luxe and dramatic. Consider incorporating pink natural stones into your pink bathroom for more monochromatic drama.
Add Wainscoting to Pink Walls
An easy way to elevate a simple wall is to add English-style wainscoting or crown molding to your pink walls. Wainscoting and crown molding make a space feel more custom and special. In addition, molding such as this makes colorful wall paint choices such as pink pop.
When in Doubt, Create a Gallery Wall
While painting your bathroom a bold color such as pink can be intimidating, one effective way to make the room feel more considered and thoughtful is to create a gallery wall with lots of art and frames. The result will feel like the pink walls were a deliberate, eclectic choice rather than a funky wall color. Hot tip: hang wall art that compliments the pink wall color to enhance your space’s cohesion.
One Pink Statement Focal Point
The power of the color pink lies in the fact that the color is incredibly bold and instantly impactful in your space. Interior designers who are color experts know that the best way to make a bold statement is to use one focal point in a bold color to anchor the room. If you’re considering adding pink as an accent color, try adding a pink faucet or bathtub to be the statement piece in your bathroom. The unexpected color will feel playful and draw the eye in.
Play with Different Shades of Pink
The color pink comes in various tones and shades for example: fuscia, coral, bubblegum, etc. There’s a pink shade out there for everyone. Consider playing with all the shades to find one that speaks to your space perfectly. One expert way to play is to combine multiple shades in the same space for a unique color-blocking vision. The result will look balanced and fresh.
Tonal Pink Tiles
One sophisticated pink bathroom idea is to use a variety of tonal pink tiles in your backsplash or in your shower. Essentially create a kaleidoscope of colors that feel cohesive. The effect is mosaic-like and feels luxurious and contemporary, like a work of art.
Patterned Pink Wallpaper
Incorporating pink wallpaper into your bathroom is another simple way to use the color pink. Wallpapers with patterns and pink colors feel less intimidating to include because the pattern carries the heavy lifting of the design. Patterned, pink wallpaper is perfect to use in a pink bathroom design if you’d like bold designs that are easy and one-and-done ideas.
Statement Pink Ceilings
The above image is proof in the pudding that even pink can be incorporated into elevated, highly contemporary designs. Using the perfect pink shade as an accent on the ceiling is a genius, color-expert move. As an accent like this, the use of the color pink doesn’t feel overtly feminine or girlish. Instead, the overall look feels sophisticated and modern.
Baby Pink Bathrooms
Sometimes when experimenting with color, paler colors can be just as impactful. Using pale, baby pinks in your bathroom feels serene and clean. Not all colorful bathrooms have to use a bold, highly dramatic color. Sometimes the largest design impact comes from restraint and subtlety.
Pink Flooring
Colorful and patterned flooring in bold colors like pink will always be a pleasantly unexpected design detail to wow your guests. If everything in your bathroom is fairly paired down, adding an unexpected color on the floor will ground the design and make the room pop. Consider pink flooring tiles as part of your next bathroom design.
Pink Sconces
Vanity sconces next to your bathroom mirror not only add light to your bathroom but also provide an element of added design to your space. Pleated pink sconces like the above add a romantic, feminine touch that helps soften the surrounding stone slabs. Depending on the style of the sconce, pink sconces can evoke modernity, playfulness, or even a funky edge to your bathroom. Consider adding a pink sconce in a unique style to add to your bathroom design.
Pink-Painted Doors
Pink-painted doors are a wonderful idea to accentuate your bathroom. While painting an entire space a unique color is bold, painting only the door and trim pink is a great way to add a punch of color without it feeling too overwhelming. Just like using pink on the ceiling or floor adds an unexpected touch, so does painting your door or wall trim.
Accentuate a Funky Pink Bathroom with Other Funky Elements
If you’re intrigued by the idea of adding pink to your bathroom, then chances are, you enjoy a bold, off-the-wall statement. Accentuate an unexpected color choice by pairing the color pink with contemporary wavy shapes and kitschy elements. Leaning into a contemporary design with unusual shapes and funky accents will pair well and make the overall design feel cohesive.
The color pink can be an incredibly intimidating color to use in interior design. However, when done right, it can create the most beautifully warm and inviting space. These 17 pink bathroom ideas exemplify how utilizing pink in your bathroom can be quite elevated and chic as discovered through this article. Consider thinking like a color expert during your next bathroom renovation project and choose a pink accent.
