Pink has a robust history with quite a few twists and turns. It’s been called everything from dainty and feminine to progressive and powerful. It’s been a color that women have embraced, and a color that women have rejected for being unfairly assigned to one gender. As the world changed, so did the way people view pink. It experienced a sort of transformation where it transcended genders, became appropriate for multiple ages, and most recently it’s experienced a huge boost of resurgence thanks to the pink-laden Barbie movie. Regardless of how you feel about this surprisingly versatile color, one thing is clear, pink is a very influential color with multiple meanings behind it, and when implemented into your bedroom, the impact can be quite stunning.
Did you know pink is the universal color of love? Even if you didn’t, it’s probably no surprise. Pink has often been associated with softer emotions, pretty hearts, and other dainty things. While this is sometimes still the case, the perception of pink has changed dramatically. Where one might have pictured a lovesick teenager in her pink-splattered room with posters of boys all over the wall, pink now also represents the awesome power of femininity and the strength and grace of womanhood. And yet despite its ability to make bold statements, it still can be incredibly soothing and calming. Today, the love pink represents most often is a kind of self-love—something we all could use more of. And when you consistently experience the positive reaffirmations of self-love through this color, it can have an incredible effect on your psyche and wellbeing.
If you think that pink is too soft, think again. While pink is most often associated with warmer colors, when paired correctly with softer tones, pink can look much cooler than you think. Of course, if the desire is for pink to exude that warmth in your room, go ahead and pair it with cooler colors. This will give it a warmer appearance. The level of softness or coolness you set in your room will help determine the feel of the space. Whether you want to add romance, coziness, or a soft, soothing sanctuary to get away from it all, pink is highly versatile—and can do it all.
Building on its warmer properties, pink can also help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Studies have proven our psyche is impacted by the colors we’re around, so adding pink to a room can instantly make it feel softer, safer, and more relaxing. Even subtle accents of pink can add a layer of soothing design that calms and comforts on a constant basis. And the more relaxed and refreshed you are, the easier it will be to fall and stay asleep.
We mentioned earlier that pink was once unfairly associated with young frilly schoolgirls, but no more. Today, people of all ages and backgrounds are embracing this impactful color and making it the centerpiece of their rooms. Pink has a strong presence that can shape a room’s décor on its beauty merits alone, but when combined with lighter tones or certain metallics, it simply shines. That’s why some of the savviest design enthusiasts have made pink a staple in their regimen, especially when the goal is to create a look that stands out, while still feeling snug and soothing.
Along with adding inspiring elements from the natural world such as flowers, corals, and dazzling sunsets, pink also has a vibrant brightness to it. Both these factors can help uplift and elevate your bedroom design. Nature soothes. We know this because studies have shown its effect on our mental health. Adding pink florals to your décor is an easy way to provide some of that natural spark. And if you’re looking to make an impression, pink also has the vitality to turn heads with its high-energy charm. This versatility means you can stick with something subtle and a bit more subdued to harness its delicate beauty, or you can let your true self shine with bold pops of pink, eye-catching highlights, and a special space of your own that celebrates positivity, beauty, and comfort.
