Pink and Green Colour Schemes 5 Ways
Green sits comfortably in any interior scheme because of its relationship with the natural environment. We feel soothed by shades of green and its neutral base. Green is neither too warm, nor too cool, and it allows us to fulfil our longing to bring the outdoors inside.
For a tried and tested combination, pair green with pink. This natural colour pairing works well in a variety of settings, from living spaces to kitchens. Pink and green combinations can fill your home with an air of springtime all year round.
Take inspiration from our five creative approaches to this versatile colour combination.
Choose pastel pink and green shades for a fresh, calm design
Pastel hues bring a fresh, calm optimism to a room. Accentuate these qualities with a pink and green scheme, adding wallpaper for extra charm. Bedrooms and home studies are the ideal setting for this combination.
This elegant bedroom is achieved using textural interest. Break up our pale Pink Primula Hencroft wallpaper with decorative panelling in the soft pastel shade, Pea Green.
Alternatively, create an inspiring study space with wallpaper, such as Lower George Street in the shade Carousel. Contrast with an attractive dark green to ground the space and soften the sweetness of the pink.

Indulge in a bold pink and green contrast for a statement finish
While a pastel pairing supplies effortless balance, a statement look uses a daring combination of vivid pink and green shades.
Substantial stripes of bold colour pervade this living space, in a unique and striking design that is paired with co-ordinating furniture and accessories. A focal point is created using accents of Leather and Obsidian Green. The complementary shades of Pea Green and Slaked Lime adorn the wall and cornicing.

Use darker green and pink shades for smart sophistication
Muted pink and green shades can be used in an all-over scheme to create a cocooning finish.
Ashes of Roses is a brownish pink that works beautifully in a colour drenching scheme. Provide a colourful uplift with accents in the sharp green-yellow Citrine and the dusky pink, Light Peachblossom.
Alternatively, use the rich, sumptuous shade, Invisible Green, with bold pink furniture to create a contemporary finish.

Pink and green is a colour pairing ideal for exterior use, blending beautifully with the natural surroundings. It creates a vibrant yet cohesive space, a welcome addition to any garden area.
