Decorating Your Home With The Pink/Green Combination


When you think of pink and green decor, Lilly Pulitzer, Dorothy Draper and Carlton Varney come to mind. Their bold use of these colors have brought them great success. Whether you love bold and bright or prefer it a bit more classic and subdued there is a pink and green room out here with your name on it. I have posted a variety of images to show you how these colors can come together in any form to give you a spectacular interior. There are so many wonderful shades of pink and green to choose from, ballet to fuschia, celadon to emerald .....there is a combination for everyone. 

Unless you are intentionally decorating in the preppy style, just don't add too many girly elements and you will be fine. The trick to pulling off a pink and green interior is restraint. There is something about this combination that makes women tend to go overboard and can cause the room to lose its elegance and sophistication. 


I love a room that isn't as much about a color combination as it is just a natural blending of colors. This is not a "pink and green" room yet it has a natural progression of that combination.

Calm pink's sweet side down with lots of white.


Pink and green can benefit from small touches of blue as proven by the effect the paintings create.


Another perfect pink, green and blue interior. Pink and green rooms crave pattern!!
Pink and green fit perfectly into an English style decor.


Everyone admires pink and green outdoors....why NOT bring it inside.


This room definitely has a Dorothy Draper appeal about it.

Pink and green is a great look for the tropical home as well.

Pink and green rooms are usually for people that like to have fun. They can be whimsical and energetic.

Of course you can have fun while being classical as well.


The trick to having a successful pink and green room is being able to make it look feminine AND sophisticated!


Even classic antique chairs look wonderful covered in this color combo.


Another one of my favorites!

Old world pink and green!! It's not always about the Preppy Look!!


If you love this color combination but want to add these colors to your home on a smaller scale, do it in one statement against a white background.


Since pink and green is a perennial favorite you won't have a problem finding beautiful accessories in this colorful combo.


There is just something about pink and green that brings out the polka dots in all of us!!

Pink and green take on a dramatic allure when wedded to black.

Cotton-candy pink and muted greens show the softer side of Preppy’s classic hot pink and kelly green combo.


A subtle mix of pink and green pattern make this living room cheerful and inviting.

Watermelon pink looks best with other fruity colors....think lime when using this shade. And add white!!



A bold way to use pink and green but all the white tones it down and the furniture selection mixes the contemporary with the traditional very well.


There is alot going on here and some people like the "more is best" look.


You can also keep it real simple and still have your pink and green pops. Flowers and pillows always do the trick!!


Fun and funky pink and green bedroom.

Palm Beach style interiors many times feature the pink and green combo. A headboard and pillow is a great give your room an infusion of this color combination without becoming overwhelming.

If you're not bold enough to use pink and green in your home, how about your outdoor space?


People seem more comfortable with pink and green outside than in.

Decorating Your Interiors With Pink And Grey



Talk about total opposites! Feminine pink married to masculine grey......can they get along within the same color scheme? This color combination has been around for a few years but is still going strong. Take a look at these luscious living spaces an decide for yourself. 

What makes it work so well is that grey is sophisticated and tones down the girly pink until it becomes elegant and womanly. Although the combo can scream 80's if you go too mauve or metallic, with the all the fabulous new shades of pink, from salmon and cerise to blush and bubblegum your interiors should look fresh and up to date. Couple with the many shades of grey and your rooms can go from demure with sophisticated warmth, to bold, sleek, gun metal cool. 



Grey and pink is such a feminine, classic combination. Toss in a vase of roses and the room is complete!

Mirrored furniture is an excellent choice to accent a feminine pink and grey bedroom.


Pink and grey also work well with a country French or farmhouse interior


Chinoiserie.....why not. My favorite shade of pink is a warm rose like this and is lovely used with grey. I am usually not crazy about using the same pattern all over. However this room pulls it off elegantly. The white millwork adds the break it needs.


This pink and grey home office is a blend of masculine and feminine that seems to suit people more than sugary sweet pink interiors.


The pink/grey color combination can be warm and inviting as seen here in this charming space. I love how the grey washed floor ties into the casual rustic feel. Yellow is a lovely accent.


What beautiful window treatment for a bay or elliptical  window. This pretty grey/pink combination looks wonderful with a Harlequin floor.


My passion is for old world interiors which I find are beautiful when decorated with pink and grey. 


You can be classic and on trend at the same time.


The pink/grey color combination is versatile and looks equally at home in an old world or modern interior.

The pink/grey color combo is a good choice for a room that mixes antique and modern. 


Grey and pink can give your room a soft airy feel particularly when the two shades are in the pastel family.


If you only want a hint of pink in your grey interior, bring it in through accents and artwork.

A lovely modern and antique mix with just a hint of pink.

The palest of pinks pairs perfectly (hey that's a tongue twister ) with the palest of greys to create this tranquil space.

Beautiful borne settee and shelf interiors painted pale pink bring life to the saturation of grey.


Pink and grey multiple patterns can be so pretty if you are careful and selective. If you are not sure, by all mean hire a professional. It will pay off in the end and you will be happier with the results.

This pink/grey combination looks good with a few black accents because of the abundance of white. Be careful with these colors because they can turn on you real fast if not handled correctly!

Sometimes just a small dose of pink accents is all you need in a grey interior.

Black is an excellent color to add to the pink and grey mix.


If your pink and grey walls are bold, show some restraint on your furnishings and accents.


If you like fuchsia and grey together you can go strong on the grey and use the fuchsia for accents.


I love this fabulous old world interior with sumptious shades of pink and grey. Black accents bring the drama.


Pretty grey and pink French interior.


A pop of pink is all it takes to brighten up a grey interior.

Sometimes you might want to have the pink/grey combo but with some other color added in. Here are some nice alternatives that still come across as predominantly pink and grey.
