Pink Bathroom Ideas
Ever since the Barbie movie hit our screens last Summer, we have seen more and more homeowners opt for a playful and pink bathroom scheme. Whether pink tiles, pink walls, or a pink vanity – pink provides an instant pop of colour that is bright and fun without being too dominating or imposing. These pink bathroom ideas are a way to spruce up a traditionally plain room. We hope you feel inspired for your own renovation project with our 8 pink bathroom ideas.
Let’s start with what we know best. Pink tiles have the ability to inject fun and colour into a bathroom, available in a variety of hues from rich dusky pink to pastel pink, with something for every project. Pink tiles in mosaic or brick metro formats are particularly popular for their slender and linear design. A few of our favourites include the below.
1. Pink Kit Kat Tiles
A trend we are seeing grow in bathrooms, pink kit kat tiles are a playful addition to a bathroom wall or shower tile. Kit Kat tiles are a style of tile that, as the name suggests, resemble the popular chocolate bar, featuring small, rectangular tiles arranged in a grid pattern. The Sundae Strawberry stick tiles are the ultimate Barbie pink shade, designed in a larger tile with grooves for grout between each ‘Kit Kat’. This makes them easy to install whilst offering an impactful look of individual finger tiles.
Metros have been around for many years and remain a timeless choice for bathroom tiles. This classic format can instantly elevate a bathroom by choosing a colourful metro. Create a pretty in pink bathroom scheme with the Primrose Blush gloss metro tiles, with its beautiful glaze and pastel pink shade.
Another way to incorporate pink in bathroom tiles is with patterned tiles. Whether a contemporary geometric tile to a vintage inspired floral design, patterned tiles can either add a hint of pink to a bathroom scheme, or work with colour blocking the shade of pink. The Demi Blush decorative tile has a geometric design of pink and white that can be installed to create various patterns, from stripes and arrows to classic chequerboard. The Flora Wild Meadow tiles is a delicate floral tile with a crackle effect glaze for a charming look. This decorative tile features flowers and foliage with a hand painted feel and hints of blush pink hues.

4. Earthy Pink Tiles
If you’re looking for a subtle and understated way to use pink, a final pink bathroom tile idea is to choose earthy tones with the Farini Plaster glazed decorative tile ticking all the boxes. The delicate raw plaster pink hue of this tile gives a slightly rustic, artisanal feel with a gloss finish inspired by Zellige tiles.

5. Pink Paint Colours
Tiles are not the only way to incorporate pink for bathroom walls. If you’re opting for a half tiled wall or just tiles on the floor, the paint colour you choose on the bathroom walls can have a massive impact on the space. Farrow & Ball have a wonderful range of pink paint colours in varying intensities and hues to suit every project requirement, from a dusky rose such as ‘Sulking Room Pink’ to a bright and vibrant pink ‘Nancy’s Blushes’. A few other favourites include ‘Templeton Pink’ for a muted plaster shade and ‘Middleton Pink’ for a pretty pastel pink, all by F&B.

6. Pink Wallpaper
More pink bathroom ideas include pink wallpaper - whether a dainty floral design, or bold and intricate pink wallpaper. Morris & Co, founded by William Morris, are renowned for their wallpaper and fabrics crafted since 1861 with a beautiful range of prints from the archives, as well as newer patterns. The Morris & Co ‘Fruit’ wallpaper is one of the first wallpapers William Morris ever made, now reimagined in a bright pink design for a bold, patterned wallpaper perfect for cloakrooms and bathrooms. The ‘Meadow Sweet’ wallpaper is a whimsical take on the Arts & Crafts style with floral motifs in a delicate rose pink with a warm white backdrop for an understated and vintage inspired pink wallpaper.

7. Pink Bathroom Vanity
Moving into pink bathroom décor ideas, if you’re wanting to keep the walls and floor of a bathroom neutral, then a pink vanity unit is a wonderful option to incorporate this shade in a way that could be updated or changed easily in the future. Holly Oak House have a range of bespoke and handmade vanity units that can be painted in any custom shade. The ‘Blenheim’ and ‘Wootton Reeded’ are particularly popular choices in a pastel pink and dusky pink.

8. Pink Bathroom Sink
Our final pink bathroom idea is to incorporate a pink bathroom sink. Whilst a bolder choice, a pink sink is the perfect piece to elevate any bathroom and make a bit of a statement. There are many directions you can take this, whether an ornate and intricate basin or a contemporary square sink. The Amara basin by London Basin Company is a pale pink porcelain sink hand-crafted with a satin finish on a pretty floral shape embellished with detailing, offering an entirely unique item for a bathroom. A modern and contemporary take on a pink bathroom sink is to embrace the style of terrazzo. This pink terrazzo washbasin by Tikamoon is made of recycled marble and stone in an earthy pink hue with flecks classic to terrazzo.

What goes with pink bathroom tiles?
When choosing elements of a bathroom alongside pink bathroom tiles, it is a good consideration to think if you’re wanting to contrast, complement or colour drench with the pink tiles. In our opinion, the safe option is to always stick with warm whites and neutral paint colours, white bathroom basins, sinks and baths, then chrome or brass sanitaryware. A perfect contrast to pink tiles is green - whether a wall colour, artwork, towels or indoor plant, these two hues work effortlessly together. If you’re looking for high impact and a bold bathroom scheme, try colour drenching the entire space with the colour pink.
Is pink a good colour for a bathroom?
Yes! Whilst pink is certainly having its moment in interiors, it is such a fun yet versatile shade to choose in a bathroom whatever the latest trend may be. Unlike other spaces in the home such as a kitchen or living room, a bathroom isn’t a room you spend all your time in, so is a great opportunity to be creative and a little bolder with colour. Pink can inject a playful and vibrant feel to a bathroom and can be toned down with neutrals or contrasted with other colours. Even if it’s simply a pink bath towel, we think pink should be used more across bathroom schemes!
Are pink bathrooms in style?
Pink bathrooms and pink bathroom tiles are definitely in style and a fantastic way to add interest to a usually uninspiring room. Pink tiles in a bathroom can elevate and enhance any bathroom or ensuite from being just a functional space, to a stylish bathroom that can be used and enjoyed.
