Pink Kitchens: Tiles, Tips and Embracing This Design Trend

It’s 2020. This means that, when it comes to interior design, pretty much anything goes. The latest craze to sweep households is the pink kitchen. It goes without saying that this bold style statement is not for everyone, but stick with us! Lovers of a pink kitchen tend to opt for one of two styles: they either channel a soft, pastel effect or go all out with a vibrant shade of fuchsia.

If you’ve been thinking pink, it turns out you’re not alone. If you’re still not convinced, read on for some guaranteed kitchen design inspiration.

The walls

One of the easiest ways to bring pink into the kitchen in a way that will make a real statement is with your splashback. By installing pink tiles behind your oven and general food prep area, you can create a real focal point in the kitchen, meaning the rest of the room can be designed to complement the shade of pink you use here.

Unlike other rooms in the house that can be accessorised with wall hangings and frames to bring your colour themes in, the kitchen isn’t a natural home for these elements – at least not in abundance. This means that opting for pink metro wall tiles provides the perfect opportunity to bring in your staple colour, using other areas of the kitchen to complement your tiles.

The appliances

The most expensive aspect of your kitchen when it comes to interior design tends to be the appliances. When you’re choosing a bold colour like pink, you really need to be committed before you make your purchase – as otherwise, you could end up needing to splash out when you decide your stunning Smeg fridge or shocking pink cabinets no longer suit your tastes.

In order to add the splashes of pink you’re in love with right now, consider bringing them in with smaller, less expensive appliances. By opting for a pink kettle, toaster and microwave, you can enjoy a pink kitchen without worrying about the cost of switching things up if and when you become attached to a different colour scheme months or years from now.

The accessories

Finally, with the rest of the kitchen taken care of, it’s time to turn your attention to the accessories. With a colour like pink, this is where the fun can really begin – giving you an opportunity to bring in bursts of colour as you add those finishing touches. From the tea, coffee and sugar canisters to lampshades and just about anything else you fancy, by incorporating various different but complementary shades of pink, you can finalise the space in style.

You can also use flowers to finish off your colour scheme. If you don’t want to have to buy fresh every few days, consider faux flowers or a plant like an orchid, which doesn’t require too much attention. Other small accessories could include candle holders, vases, chair covers and even blinds for the windows.

Pinks go really well with navy blue or a soft grey, so, if you want to incorporate this colour without having it take over your entire kitchen, pair with a less eye-catching shade to achieve a subtle sense of balance.
