The color that surrounds you can influence your emotions deeply. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, we’re exploring the psychology behind the color of love and how you can use Pink Wallpaper to set the stage for all the feels.
Pink Wallpaper - For Love
One of the most known and obvious associations of the color pink is with love and romance. Unlike red, which represents love on a more passionate front, pink brings with it the softer side of love. The tenderness and gentleness it evokes creates a welcoming feeling of a familiar love.
In interior design, this use of pink via prints like Feather Flock or Faux Grasscloth, makes it a perfect addition to spaces, like a nursery, where you want the inhabitants to feel that sense of known love, or in guest rooms for a welcoming vibe.
Pink Wallpaper - For Calmness
Pink also evokes a sense of calmness. The tone suggests safety and vulnerability, making people naturally at ease when surrounded by the soft hue.
In small, curated doses, pink will be a welcome addition to sitting rooms and living areas because it encourages conversation and emotional openness. For pink to bring calm to an interior, it has to be used smartly. Be sure to use the color sparingly to invite this sense of serenity to a space by installing a pink accent wall or via prints that add a touch of the hue, such as Bohemia.
Pink Wallpaper - For Optimism
Have you ever heard the phrase, “Seeing the world through rose colored glasses?” It’s because pink is innately optimistic and associated with a cheery, hopeful outlook. Using pink to convey optimism in a powder room will start the day off on the right foot. Or adding it to an office to help you overcome the stressors of work is also a wonderful use of the color.
We would recommend soft, yet inspiring pink prints such as Horizontal Faux Grasscloth for these instances.
Pink Wallpaper - For Bold & Fearless
When you amp up the saturation and look at hues like hot pink, the vibe changes. Hot pink evokes a sense of vitality and fearlessness. But as bold of a shade as it is, it stays playful, not losing itself in seriousness.
Hot pinks, like in our Cheeky Pink Flamingo print, are a great way to inspire boldness via well placed accent walls.
