Beautiful ideas for teaming these harmonious tones
-
Easy on the eye
Courtesy of a palette that keeps to soft tones and neutrals
Mixed greens
Choose a subtle, washed-out green as a backdrop, with shots of emerald dotted around the room to add energy. Ground the space with a blush pink sofa
Lush leaves
Try out this colour pairing in a pink room simply by bringing in a houseplant or vase of foliage
Surprise inside
Elevate glazed kitchen cupboards by tiling the insides. Cheat the look by painting the back of the unit soft pink
Pink partner
You can ramp up the drama in a small cloakroom with largescale tropical leaves on the wall above dado height, balanced with a gentle pink below
Serene scheme
Mirror the dusky tones of plaster pink with a headboard upholstered in a jungle-inspired fabric that favours muted greens over vibrant leafy shades
