21 Pink Kitchen Ideas: How to get the on-trend kitchen colour right

Pink kitchens and bathrooms were one of 2020's top kitchen trends, with striking pink kitchens dominating our Pinterest and Instagram feeds. Perhaps it's because the colour is so warm, cheerful and playful, or perhaps it's because the colour is so versatile; pair it with black, grey, or with concrete, and suddenly you'll have an edgy, industrial or masculine looking scheme. Pair pink with blue or with green and you'll create something zesty, energetic and dramatic. Or tone it down with woods or pastel shades.

We've seen many pink kitchen ideas over the years, and have collated a few of our faves here below. From pink painted walls (hello Antoinette by Annie Sloan), pink-stained wood cabinetry, bubblegum pink kitchen islands and even fuschia in the kitchen, to pink floors and ceilings, and daring combinations with concrete, there's a pink kitchen idea here for everyone.

Want to go all-out? Pink cabinetry is the way to go. Want something more balanced? Opt for just a pink kitchen island, while keeping cabinetry muted in wood or grey. Just looking to dip your toe in the colour? A pink splash back is one of our personal favourites as it gives just the right dose of warm colour, but is unlikely to tire or bore you any time soon. We're particularly big fans of the dusty grey-pink shades that manage to create a relatively neutral look.

Want a pink shaker kitchen? Brass cabinet door handles, brass wall lights and a brass tap will make it modern, as will replacing brass with matte black hardware.

1. Concrete Contrast

This pink kitchen incorporates lots of rough concrete texture, preventing it from feeling too 'girly'. Instead, the floor to ceiling concrete is softened and made rather charming by the pink cabinets and curtains. No wonder this house, designed by Architect Adam Richards, won the Royal Institute of British Architects’ South East ‘Building of the Year’.

2. Pink & Navy

This kitchen is given a modern country look, with grooved wood on the walls, a shaker kitchen and ceramic sink. But the pink wall shade, brass cabinet door handles and the brass wall light make it modern – as does the stylish brass tap. We're big fans.

6. Pink & Black

7. Super Subtle

The pink shade on this kitchen island and these arched cabinets is so soft it's barely there. The effect is soft, feminine, yet subtle.

10. Pink kitchen island

Not feeling too sure about committing to pink walls or cabinets? Dip your toe in the pink kitchen trend with a rose pink kitchen island, and keep the rest of the kitchen modern and masculine with grey shades and black handles, taps and hardware.

11. Lighten The Mood

This idea is perfectly demonstrated here, where a soft pink kitchen island adds a subtle hint of colour in a dark kitchen. The pink island lightens the mood and makes the space look friendlier.

12. Pink Floors

We've looked at pink cabinets, pink walls and pink kitchen islands, but what about floors? If you're going to have a tiled floor, you may as well pick a colour or pattern that will put you in a good mood. We love the dusty pink shade of these hexagon tiles, and love how the tiles creep up the walls slightly, showing off their shape.

13. Pastel shades

This modern kitchen features a calming scheme, with handleless dusty-pink cabinets and rectangular sage green wall tiles grouped in a geometric formation.

15. Pink Metro Tiles

Adding pink doesn't have to be a loud statement. In this calm, understated kitchen, dusty-pink metro tiles from Tile Giant have a slightly grey undertone, and add a calm colour to the kitchen splash-back.

16. Pink & grey

The cabinets in this project by Tanya Jones Studio carry a very subtle shade of pink that's not too obvious or overbearing.

17. Pink & Navy Blue

This pink kitchen is made vibrant and punchy, thanks to the dark blue contrast. The colour pairing works well and creates a daring, dramatic look.

18. Bubblegum pink

This country shaker-style kitchen is given a colour injection with a bubblegum pink kitchen island. Painting the island is probably one of the quickest, easiest, and least expensive ways to add an instant colour refresh to your kitchen.

19. Colour contrast

For something more vibrant, paint the walls (and ceiling, if you decide to go all-out) in a wild, vibrant shade like this leaf green. A pink kitchen in comparison looks neutral, and tones it down.

20. Fun Fuschia

Fancy something a little bit wild? A neon or fuschia pink kitchen island packs a punch and adds energy and drama.
