How to decorate a room with pink and mint

Pretty sorbet shades offer a desirable vintage vibe yet are so thoroughly modern they’ll inspire you to pick up a paintbrush or switch out your furnishings. Then again, if you’re an all-white or all-grey minimalist, just a flash of this colour duo is enough to rock the trend and make an impact. 

Living room decorated in mint and pink

As colourful as this living room looks, it still feels serene. What’s its secret? Beyond the white and grey backdrop, notice how the brighter tones are kept low while chalkier, softer shades edge upwards.

Here are three easy ways you can mellow out to the happy hues of mint and pink in your home.

Team players

Partner these pretty feminine hues with white and grey, adding hints of grounding black for an edgier, sophisticated look.  

Rock it

These colours sing to a different tune when mixed with mid-century geometric patterns, pale blues, marble and/or metallic accent pieces.  

In the kitchen

Show off retro-look appliances in these shades, first made popular in the 1950s, for a space that feels chic and cool.
