Whether or not you’ve ever considered pink for an interior, it’s hard to deny the softly stylish ambiance that is created by adding pink accents to a grey decor scheme. This particular apartment is the combined work of 3 designers: Ruslan Kovalchuk, Mariya Chmut and Stephen Tsimbalyuk. The design implements an equal balance of pink and grey to create a confident colour scheme that is full of personality. Pink based photography and cushions add splashes of colour into the greyer areas of the home. Pink facilities make for an unusual bathroom, whilst pink kitchen cabinets, drapes and a bedroom accent walls bring bigger blasts of the rosy hue.
A grey and pink lounge set up is situated within plain white walls. A modern chaise with plain grey fabric and clean lines is given extra dimension by the presence of a single pink throw cushion and an accompanying large framed photographic print in a pink colourway. Low modern coffee tables make an ideal pairing with a low slung sofa, like this smooth grey module with a built-in shelf. A few decorative vases jazz up its simple design.
Above the chaise, a group of pink neon tube lights add to the coloured accents, and cast a soft glow over an adjacent white bookcase. The bookcase holds an assortment of shelves and concealed storage nooks by the sofa and an adjoining window seat.
The window seat and bookcase create a beautifully light reading nook, made comfy with some additional pink scatter cushions and cosy grey throws. A series of storage cupboards make use of the space in the base of the bench. The seating unit extends in an L-shape around one entire corner of the room, with the extended arm utilised as a TV console. Grey drapes match the sponge seat cushions at the window.
A wooden dining set nestles into the space created by an L-shaped kitchen layout. Globe pendant lights illuminate the rectangular table, in front of a large window that offers a view with dinner.
can be a dark and serious affair, but the grey decor of this kitchen is teamed with all pink base units and tall larder cabinets that make a warm and inviting visual. If you love similar pink themed kitchens, do check out our post on pink kitchens.
The soft pink hue gently complements the natural woodtone of the rustic dining table and wooden dining chairs.
The wall cupboards above the prep zone, plus an adjoining crockery and wine cabinet, are charcoal grey to match the kitchen wall. The dark units are backlit with LED strip lighting that creates a dramatic edge.
LED edge lighting is also used in a bedroom with attached wardrobe. Softly illuminated closet shelves and garment hanging rails are held behind clear glass doors at the head of the bed. The dark boutique style closet becomes part of the grey bedroom decor, taking the form of a cool headboard feature wall that would make any fashionista swoon.
A small white side table stands between the deep cushioned grey upholstered bed and the window. The window is dressed with heavy dusky rose drapes.
A unique floor lamp stands to the other side of the modern bed. The bedside floor lamp has a small base to allow unobstructed entry to the closet via a sliding glass door.
Of course, you may have to spend your entire life wearing neutrals in order to keep your clear fronted closet looking spectacularly cohesive.
At the foot of the bed, A set of TV console units are wall mounted. The upper console is a longer volume that has one end utilised as a dressing table.
A Bertoia Diamond Chair sits at the wall hung dressing table. The vanity chair is dressed with a pink cushion to add extra comfort to the wire seat design. This metal chair would also work just fine as a modern outdoor chair for a balcony or garden. The designer table lamp beside the vanity mirror on the dressing table is the IC T2 Lamp.
The grey wall units are matched by a large planter pot holding a ZZ plant.. The charcoal pieces add weight to the pink wall colour of the room, whilst the indoor plant adds a little texture.
Even the bathroom receives a wonderful splash of pastel pink within its grey tiled walls.
A unique sink with a pink finish changes the entire look of a hard grey and white bathroom scheme.
The utility room is personalised with a pink photographic mural. The photographic decal decorates the sliding doors of a storage unit that holds household linens, a clothes iron and ironing board.
A washing machine and a dryer are stacked in an adjacent grey shelving unit, which is a bespoke build made to perfectly fit the narrow utility space.
The nook around the home entry door has been painted completely pink. A shoe storage unit has been given the pink treatment too, causing it to neatly blend with the surround. The front door itself is charcoal grey in contrast.
The flooring throughout the home is a light wood grain that works beautifully with the gentle pink accents.
Hallway storage units have been built into one side of the home entryway. The build includes a hallway bench that is upholstered in charcoal grey, beneath a set of wall hooks for hanging coats. Tall units provide storage for large household items - or perhaps for garments that don’t fit the neutral wardrobe criteria!
