I have done a few colour consultations lately where I have recommended a pink paint colour in the bathroom. Not a bright, kid’s room pink, but a more subtle or neutral pink. Pink works well with gray or white tiles, gray marble and white fixtures. And it’s true, you do look good in a pink room!
Remember when Brooke at Velvet and Linen gave us a sneak peek of her bathroom painted in Farrow and Ball’s Pink Ground.
Then Sarah at Quintessentially B posted this bathroom belonging to Stella Tenant:
I don’t know who Gingerella is, but the inspirational images on her tumblr site are beautiful. (There was no link to the designer however – does anyone know ?)
And let’s not forget Martha’s guest cottage in Maine where subtle shades of pink were used skilfully throughout the house.
So what do you think? Could you paint your bathroom pink if it worked with the tiles, cabinetry, counter and fixtures?

September 3, 2010Oh lovely! I’m loving pink bathrooms at the moment so it’s great to see a little collection. I would definitely do it, although clients are harder to convince about pink lately, I just did a soft, sludgy pink moodboard for a bedroom and the client hated it and I have another who wants a Barbie pink dining room which is kind of the other end of the spectrum from these pinks. I’ll just have to paint my own bathroom pink, you’re right; when combined with grey and white it is a perfect neutral.

September 5, 2010I could totally paint a bathroom pale pink. I saved every image from that pink issue of Martha.
