Pink and Black Room Decoration Ideas

Patterned Fabrics

• A patterned fabric will add interest and texture to a pink and black room and serve as inspiration for the rest of the decor. Use a pink and black checkerboard fabric for chair upholstery and accent pillows for a casual look. Another option is a black and white check fabric with decorative pink welting and ribbon. Use a black and pink or black and white striped fabric for a more sophisticated, formal room. Mix floral patterns and stripes for added visual interest.

Paint Selection

• For a bright and feminine room, paint the walls pink. Pale pink walls will also set the mood for romance in a bedroom. If the fabric pattern is dark, balance with lighter colored walls. Create a focal point by painting a single wall fushia pink or black. Frame the walls by painting the trim in the room a glossy white.

Furniture Selection

• Increase the drama and contrast by incorporating black wood or iron furniture in an adult room. In the bedroom choose a black bed and storage pieces, while in the living room select seating and tables with black bases. Since black absorbs light, use pieces that have a glossy finish for a surface shine. In a little girl's room, use white furniture instead of black for a more youthful feel. The white furniture will act as a backdrop to the room's pink and black decor.

Accessories

• Use accessories to bring together the design and color palette of the room. Place pink and black decorative storage boxes around the room to contain clutter fashionably. Layer in white boxes and magazine holders to make the other colors pop. Display photos of family and friends in fuchsia picture frames. Make the lighting dramatic by hanging a glossy black chandelier with fuchsia candle covers and shades trimmed in fur. Hang black and white zebra drapery for a touch of drama and whimsical flair.

Wall Art

• Emphasize the hanging chandelier with chandelier wall appliques. Spell out your name using pink letters on a white painted wall, or white or black letters on pink walls. Spray paint a mirror frame in pink and place opposite a window to reflect the natural light. Turn your favorite fabric into art by framing and hanging it up. Framing wallpaper and crafting paper is another way to create inexpensive wall art.
