Why pink and apricot harmonise so perfectly
Pink stands for gentleness, serenity and elegant restraint.
Apricot brings a warm, sunny touch to the mix and lends rooms a subtle vibrancy.
Together, these two colours create a balanced ambience that can be used in many living areas – from cosy living rooms to inviting entrance areas.
Ideas for wall design with pink & apricot
- Create accent walls: wallpaper a single wall in apricot or pink to give the room a focal point.
- Subtle patterned wallpaper: Floral, graphic or watercolour patterns in these shades look like a work of art on the wall and make rooms appear more exciting.
- Large-format motif wallpaper: If you're feeling bold, go for large-scale designs with abstract shapes or soft colour gradients in pink and apricot.
- Combination with materials: Natural woods, brass details or linen fabrics harmonise particularly well with this colour palette and emphasise the elegant effect.
Pink & apricot in different rooms
Living room:
An accent wall in apricot combined with rose-coloured textiles such as cushions or curtains creates a modern, cosy focal point. Light-coloured sofas and natural rugs complete the look.
Bedroom:
Here, pink and apricot create a sense of calm and comfort. Choose delicate pastel shades for wallpaper or wall paint behind the headboard and complement them with bed linen or throws in the same colour scheme. This creates a relaxing atmosphere.
Dining area:
These colours are particularly inviting in the dining room. Wallpaper with soft patterns in apricot can visually define the dining area, while chair cushions or decorative objects in pink add fresh accents.
Home office:
If you like things to be creative and calming at the same time, incorporate apricot as a wall colour on one side of your workspace. Small accessories in pink, such as storage boxes or pin boards, bring lightness and promote concentration.
Conclusion
Pink and apricot are much more than a passing trend – they bring warmth, style and personality to any room. With wallpaper, paint and matching materials, you can design rooms that radiate calm and elegance while also looking modern.
