1. Baby Pink

A light pastel pink with creamy white undertones. It feels gentle, airy, and youthful. This shade naturally brightens a room and creates a soft, soothing atmosphere.

A muted modern pink with a slight grey cast. Less “sweet” and more elegant, blush brings a calm, contemporary vibe to interiors. It’s subtle, warm, and refined.

3. Dusty Rose

An earthy, muted pink with hints of brown and mauve. Dusty rose feels warm, mature, and sophisticated, adding depth without being overpowering.

A vivid and energetic pink with a mix of orange and red tones. It carries a bold personality and instantly adds vibrancy to a space.

The classic mid-tone pink that sits between soft and bright. It feels warm, balanced, and friendly, making it a timeless choice for walls.

7. Hot Pink

A bold, saturated pink that makes a strong visual statement. It brings high energy and creates a lively, expressive mood in any room.

8. Magenta Pink

A deep, dramatic pink with purple-blue undertones. Magenta feels rich, artistic, and luxurious - ideal for rooms that embrace bold colour.

9. Mauve Pink

A soft pink blended with lavender tones. It feels dreamy, calm, and slightly vintage, creating a peaceful and elegant atmosphere.

10. Nude Pink (Beige Pink)

A modern neutral with a hint of blush. It appears warm, understated, and very sophisticated. This shade behaves like a soft neutral and gives rooms a gentle, serene feel.

What Curtain Colours Look Best With Pink Walls?

Pink walls pair beautifully with a wide range of curtain colours - from soft neutrals to rich contrasting shades. The right colour depends on whether you want balance, contrast, luxury, freshness, or softness in the room.

1. White Curtains

White is the safest and most universally flattering curtain colour for any shade of pink - baby pink, blush, dusty rose, coral, or magenta. White curtains help the pink feel fresh instead of overwhelming, making them a top choice for modern homes and especially perfect as white living room curtains. They brighten the room, soften the walls, and make the space look larger and calmer. White also allows pink to remain the focal point without adding competition.

Sheer whites look especially beautiful with light and blush-toned pinks. For a more textured look, the Handwoven Chanderi Dotted White adds a delicate handcrafted charm while still keeping the palette airy and understated.

2. Cream & Beige Curtains

Cream, ivory, and beige add warmth without muting the beauty of pink walls. These tones work perfectly with peach pink, dusty rose, rose pink, and nude pink. Beige curtains also balance out highly feminine pinks by grounding them in a more neutral, mature palette.

They create a soft, cosy glow in the room and work particularly well with wooden furniture, warm lighting, and minimal interiors.

3. Grey & Charcoal Curtains

Grey is one of the most elegant curtain pairings for pink walls.Light grey creates a calm, modern look with blush pink, rose pink, and mauve.Charcoal or deep graphite gives a bold, luxurious edge to hot pink, fuchsia, coral pink, and magenta walls.

Grey tones reduce the “sweetness” of pink and turn the room into a sophisticated, contemporary space. If you want a soft-but-structured look, the subtle pattern of the Curtain Handwoven in Off-white and Charcoal colour brings in freshness with a muted, natural depth that complements both lighter and darker pink tones.

4. Gold & Mustard Curtains

When paired with pink walls - especially dusty rose, mauve, magenta, and nude pink - gold and mustard curtains add a warm, regal richness. These colours create an elegant, slightly vintage charm and immediately elevate the room’s aesthetic.

Gold tones bring a subtle shimmer, while mustard adds earthy warmth. This combination works beautifully in bedrooms, living rooms, and study areas where you want a cosy-but-premium feel.

5. Olive & Sage Green Curtains

Green is one of the BEST contrast colours for pink because they sit opposite each other on the colour wheel. Olive, sage, and soft green tones create a sophisticated, muted contrast that feels natural, grounded, and stylish - perfect for blush pink, dusty rose, nude pink, and terracotta-pink walls.

The Sheer Curtain in Green and Dusty Pink (Mulmul Cotton) is a perfect example of this harmony - the soft green adds freshness, while the dusty pink motifs subtly echo the wall, making the room feel curated and balanced.

6. Blush, Dusty Rose & Soft Pink Curtains

Using tones from the same colour family creates a seamless, luxurious, hotel-like look. Blush curtains with blush walls Dusty rose curtains with dusty rose walls Soft pink curtains with peach pink or baby pink walls

This monochromatic effect makes the room feel calm, soft, and premium. For a balanced spin, the Dusty Pink and Off-White Pure Cotton Door Curtain with Ornate Florals & Bold Stripes beautifully merges pink tones with structured off-white stripes - perfect for adding depth without breaking the colour harmony.

7. Terracotta, Taupe & Warm Neutrals

Warm earthy tones create a grounded, modern contrast against pink walls. Terracotta adds a subtle rustic charm. Taupe adds maturity and balance.Warm neutrals reduce the sweetness of pink while keeping the palette cohesive.

These tones are especially beautiful with peach, coral, nude pink, and dusty rose walls.

8. Emerald Green Curtains

For bold, dramatic spaces, emerald is a stunning pairing with fuchsia, hot pink, magenta, or rose pink walls. This combination feels royal, expressive, and high-impact often used in boutique hotels and creative spaces.

Even a lighter interpretation like the Handwoven Sage-Teal Cotton Curtain gives a softer, elegant take on the green–pink contrast.

9. Off-White With Textures

Off-white curtains with embroidery, cutwork, pleats, or light patterns create softness without looking plain. They help pink walls shine while adding structure to the room.

10. Blue Curtains

Blue is one of the most beautiful contrast colours for pink walls because it naturally balances warmth with cool sophistication. Soft powder blues like Handwoven Cotton Semi-Sheer Curtain with Cutwork Lotus Pattern create a calming, airy feel in rooms with baby pink or blush walls, while deeper tones like navy, denim and teal add maturity and visual depth to darker pinks like dusty rose.

Should Curtains Be Lighter or Darker Than Pink Walls?

Choosing whether your curtains should be lighter or darker than pink walls depends on the kind of visual effect you want in the room. Lighter curtains such as white, cream, or soft beige create an airy, spacious feel by reflecting light and letting the pink walls remain the hero. Darker curtains like charcoal, sage-teal, or deep emerald offer a bold contrast, grounding the room and adding a modern, premium look. If you want a seamless, luxurious feel, you can also pick curtains in the same tonal family - dusty rose with dusty rose, blush with blush to create a cohesive, boutique-style finish. Each direction works beautifully; the choice comes down to whether you prefer light and minimal, bold and dramatic, or soft and monochrome interiors.

Choose Curtains Based on the Mood You Want to Create

Pink walls can shift dramatically depending on the curtains you pair with them. Because pink already carries emotional warmth, the curtain colour becomes the deciding factor for whether your space feels calm, luxurious, bold, modern or romantic. Instead of choosing randomly, think in terms of mood-what feeling should the room give you the moment you walk in?

Here’s how different curtain colours transform the atmosphere:

Luxurious & Elegant

Colours: Gold, dusty rose, champagne, muted blush, velvet textures These are perfect when you want a rich, elevated look.

Grey and charcoal instantly add a contemporary tone, balancing the softness of pink. Emerald or teal introduces depth and sophistication-especially beautiful in homes with modern furniture.
