Pink Wallpaper: Shades, Styles & How to Make It Yours
Pink, Reimagined
Pink has grown up. Once thought of as sweet and simple, it's now one of the most sophisticated colours in interiors — a shade with extraordinary range, from the softest barely-there blush to a deep, confident raspberry. Pink flatters skin and light beautifully, it warms a room like nothing else, and it has a knack for feeling both timeless and thoroughly modern. Whether you want a whisper of warmth or a bold, joyful statement, there's a pink for it.
At Claret & Key, pink is never a compromise. Because every design is drawn in-house and printed to order in your chosen colour way, you choose the exact pink you want — and any of our designs can be made in it. Your shade, your pattern, made especially for you in our Cheshire studio.
A shade for every mood
Pink's great gift is its range. A soft blush or dusky pink is gentle, warm and endlessly liveable — almost a neutral. A powder or shell pink feels fresh and pretty. A deep raspberry or plaster pink brings a grown-up, sophisticated warmth. And a hot or bright pink makes a fearless, joyful statement. Whether you want soft and subtle or bold and vibrant, we'll print your design in precisely that tone.
The art of pairing pink
Part of pink's appeal is how beautifully it plays with other colours. Pink and green is a modern classic — fresh, natural and full of life. Pink and gold feels warm and glamorous. Pink and grey is calm and contemporary. And pink with crisp white feels clean and pretty. However you pair it, a pink ground makes a floral or a botanical design feel soft and romantic.
Where pink works
Pink suits every room. In a bedroom, a soft blush is warm, flattering and restful. In a living room, a deeper plaster pink brings a cosy, grown-up glow. In a nursery or child's room, pink is a natural, cheerful choice. And in a cloakroom, a bold raspberry or hot pink makes a confident, memorable impression. Pink's warmth makes it a lovely choice for a north-facing or low-light room.
Choosing your pink
Because we print to order, the shade is entirely yours — and pink reads very differently by daylight and lamplight, so it's worth choosing carefully. Every design comes in three finishes: Traditional (150gsm, super-matte), Heavy-Grade (300gsm) and Removable peel-and-stick (180gsm), all printed on FSC-approved, PVC- and VOC-free paper.
Order a sample and see your pink in your own light, morning and evening, before you commit.
Very much so — pink has become one of the most sophisticated colours in interiors, from soft plaster and blush tones to bold raspberry. It's warm, flattering and versatile, and because we print to order you can choose a shade that feels grown-up and timeless rather than sweet.
What colours go with pink wallpaper?
Pink pairs beautifully with green for a fresh, natural look, with gold for warmth and glamour, with grey for a calm, contemporary feel, and with crisp white for a clean, pretty scheme. It's far more versatile than people expect.
Which shade of pink should I choose?
It depends on the mood you want: blush and dusky pinks for gentle warmth, plaster and raspberry for grown-up sophistication, or hot and bright pink for a bold statement. Because we print to order, you choose the exact tone.
Can I get any design in a custom pink?
Yes — that's the beauty of printing to order. You choose the exact pink you want, and any of our designs can be made in it, so the colour is never a compromise, made especially for you.
This wallpaper is just gorgeous! I used the one that requires glue and it was super easy to i stall. One roll was enough for a 6’ wide laundry closet with 7’5” ceilings. Even on our orange peel walls it set beautifully. I did this behind our new washer dryer set up in our laundry closet with white oak cabinets and it’s perfect! Highly recommend!
Truly love this wallpaper. Looks amazing in both our bathroom (the original project) and as an accent in the back of a cabinet (what we did with the extra). Everyone who sees it comments on how classy and beautiful it is. For these reasons five stars!
However I do want to call out two concerns:
1. The online "calculator" on the site recommend nine roles, which seemed excessive for our less than 100 sq ft bathroom. I even reached out to support to double check and they said to go by the calculator. I'm glad I didn't because I ended up ordering five roles and only needing 4. I will say returning the 5th role was a pretty smooth process, so kudus to Claret and Key for that.
2. Strangely the "autumn" color with pale nutmeg background reads more green than brown in certain light. With bright overhead light it comes across as the soft brown we intended, but in natural light it reads much more green. Not anything to terrible just unexpected.
Beautiful paper! Our decorator commented on its quality and how nice and easy it was to work with compared to other wallpaper he had used in the past. Thank you.
So in love with this wallpaper. We wanted a cosy cottage bedroom vibe so we chose the Eloise. It’s such a pretty design that completely transformed the space. The wallpaper is such great quality .We have very uneven walls but didn’t have any issues. Hanging it was a joy. Highly recommend.
We used Blanche to paper some built in wardrobes that double up as room dividers. It was brilliant to be able to sample several background colour options and we are delighted with the finished result
Thank you. Fabulous Wallpaper.
Great quality paper and easy to hang.
The design is so rich in colour and adds such decadence to my dressing area. Now for the finishing touches.
Poor customer service - rolls are only available as one off 10m runs, so if you need 11m.. unfortunately you’ll be paying double for a second roll! Unless your walls are 8m or less, I’d avoid. Wrongly assumed Claret & Key would be slightly more compassionate about the situation and even help with a slightly discounted second roll, considering we only needed 1m. How wrong we were!
Store owner replied:
Hi Emily,
I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the service.
We sell our wallpaper by the roll, and we are unable to manufacture shorter rolls. This will be the same for most manufacturers as 10m rolls are standard, and most rooms require more than 1 roll to complete the job.
Thanks,
Claret & Key
I really loved this paper and thought it would look nice in my attic space. Delighted with the end result. Great service, excellent quality of paper and it really transforms the room. The eves are very low so the space was not utilised so making a feature with the wallpaper has created a cosy space to relax in. Thank you. M
Love this wallpaper. It’s just enough to show a statement but not so loud that it overpowers the space. Being able to pick the color is such a great thing also. You’re not stuck with 5 options so it can match your style and colors of your space. Would recommend to anyone looking for wallpaper. Very happy and my installer said its super easy to install this pattern.
This wallpaper is thick and sturdy. It’s very easy to work with and easy to apply. It was my first time hanging wallpaper and this paper was very forgiving. Great product!
