Pink dining area: how to decorate

Pink has grown up: dusty, muted pinks are now a sophisticated neutral rather than a nursery colour. It warms a room like beige, but with more life.

How pink works in the dining area

In the dining area, a dusty-pink backdrop creates a warm, inviting setting for dinners.

Keep in mind what's specific to this room: the wall behind the table as a backdrop and a gathered feel. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.

Colours that pair well with pink

Dusty pink loves grey, off-white, brass and green. For contrast: deep green or navy.

Materials and details

Velvet, linen and wool make pink grown-up; brass and light wood balance the sweetness.

The most common mistake

Choosing too bright a candy pink — muted, greyed pinks are the ones that read elegant and timeless.

See pink in the dining area — before you paint

The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the dining area and type "repaint the dining area in pink". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
