Toning down pink paint in an adult bedroom?

Pink is a wonderful colour in a bedroom, but as you have found can be a bit too much.

- If the pink you have chosen is too bright or dark, try mixing it with white paint of the same brand, base (latex, oil, etc) and gloss factor (satin, eggshell, flat, etc).

- If the pink is to "baby" or "little girl", try adding a bit of yellow to the mix, to bring it more to the salmon side.

Use lots of other colours with it in the decorating scheme.

- Browns, dark tans, beiges and cream colours make a sophisticated look.

- Black, greys and white with pink are bold and stylish.

- Or use burgundy and white, if the pink is of the same family as the burgundy. This results in a very feminine look if you add lots of lace (make sure it is white), but with tailored accents of rich dark woods and burgundy leather can be very masculine.
