Paint Home Decorating Design Dilemma

Blush pink dresser with pink walls?

2 years ago

We are painting my daughter's bedroom SW White Truffle, and someone just posted a gorgeous dresser on the artisan furniture refinisher market in my area that is a light blush pink. It looks white in the photos, but her description says that it's a blush pink. I asked her how it compared to our paint and she said the color of the dresser was probably a shade or two lighter than our paint color.

Question is: can I do a blush pink dresser with pink walls? Or is that too much pink?

You will have to decide what is more important---the gorgeous dresser or the SW White Truffle on the walls. If it's the dresser stop painting until you see the dresser in the room and compare to the paint. If it's the wall colour--keep looking for a dresser.

Because neither are saturated colors if they do not clash you will be fine having them both in the same room.

I would say it depends on the particular pinks. I'd grab a swatch of the White Truffle and bring it to look at the dresser in person. I'd want to make sure that the hues work together (I don't think pairing a peachy-pink with say a cotton-candy pink would look good, for example, and "blush" can mean different things to different people), and for the dresser to be enough lighter than the walls for good contrast.

Sg-Beautiful! About 15 years ago I painted our living room a rose color. Can't remember what I used. But it was very pretty in there. One day I had an upset stomach and got the Pepto-Bismal out, and I looked at the bottle, then my walls, held the bottle to my walls and it was a perfect match. lol So if I feel the need to paint a room pink again, I'll compare it to the PB color! heh. It was very subtle and light rosey. I love "pink" rooms! I think most people are afraid to use the color in a public area, but IMO, it's one of the prettiest colors for LR's, etc.

B.M. Atrium White…I used it one of my homes on all the walls in the house, which was a post and beam (pickled). It was the perfect warm white.

Easier to match paint to curtain than the reverse. Happyleg makes a good point about off white being a versatile wall colour but don't think that blush walls will tie you in to one colour scheme. It pairs well with white, cream, yellow, coral, greens, blues, gold, grey, charcoal, black... Check Bed, Bath & Beyond. Society6 also offers shower curtains. You can easily lose an evening browsing that site.

Lucky, I don't have the Unfussy Beige paint chip, but looked it up online and fear it will read too dark and beige in my unfortunate lighting (with an LRV of 60), but thank you for the suggestion; it looks like a pretty beige. Cocotini, I'm intrigued by Proposal... I have the Affinity fan deck, and at first glance (and comparing it to Queen Anne Pink) I thought there'd be no way it would work because it almost looks lavender next to the Queen Anne (way more blue, less yellow). But I brought it downstairs and looked at it next to the rug, and it actually harmonizes with some of the rug colors (from what I can tell next to the chip anyway). And it's in that LRV sweet spot (71.69) so I may have to give it a try! In my lighting, it actually looks a somewhat like my first inspiration picture, which I really didn't think would work with the rug. So Proposal, Tissue Pink, and Valspar's Champagne Glee are now on my list to try. Hopefully I can sneak out tomorrow to grab samples before we get dumped on again.

As just above. ( an in person sampling comparison ) along with decide WHICH is more important> Having that color on the walls or having a blush pink dresser? No wall color is permanent. Buy the dresser, and adjust the wall paint. ............or look for a different dresser : )
