Decorating Your Home With The Pink/Green Combination


When you think of pink and green decor, Lilly Pulitzer, Dorothy Draper and Carlton Varney come to mind. Their bold use of these colors have brought them great success. Whether you love bold and bright or prefer it a bit more classic and subdued there is a pink and green room out here with your name on it. I have posted a variety of images to show you how these colors can come together in any form to give you a spectacular interior. There are so many wonderful shades of pink and green to choose from, ballet to fuschia, celadon to emerald .....there is a combination for everyone. 

Unless you are intentionally decorating in the preppy style, just don't add too many girly elements and you will be fine. The trick to pulling off a pink and green interior is restraint. There is something about this combination that makes women tend to go overboard and can cause the room to lose its elegance and sophistication. 


I love a room that isn't as much about a color combination as it is just a natural blending of colors. This is not a "pink and green" room yet it has a natural progression of that combination.

Calm pink's sweet side down with lots of white.


Pink and green can benefit from small touches of blue as proven by the effect the paintings create.

A bold way to use pink and green but all the white tones it down and the furniture selection mixes the contemporary with the traditional very well.


There is alot going on here and some people like the "more is best" look.


You can also keep it real simple and still have your pink and green pops. Flowers and pillows always do the trick!!
