what is a good contrast to pink?

Answer 1

Depending on what shade of pink you have:
greens, blues, yellows, black, white, and my daughter says orange and purple... your hardware store should have a color wheel that will show you contrasting and matching colors... ie: Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware?

Answer 2

There are the usual white,tan,black and blue but I would suggest using two-three different shades of pink! And because I like to be able to easily change color themes...
I have done my living-room with two shades of blue (light blue and navy) along with white trim and tan furniture. (this makes the otherwise small room appear much larger too) This makes it ideal to change my color theme simply by repainting the walls and changing drapes, throws and pillows! Also helpful if you don't particularly end up liking the results. I'm very thrifty so I make my own pillows, throws and curtains so I only need to buy cheap (but suitable) fabric and paint!
I have done a similar type of decorating in most rooms in my house. My bath room has black towel bars and accessories and white towels. I have had the walls light green, pink, light blue and they are now currently a blond yellow. Only expense when I re-decorate this room is paint! Oh and I can get a bit crafty so I replaced my boring plastic toilet lid with a wooden one and wood burned a design on it!
So don't be afraid to get creative and add texture in any room, it makes rooms more interesting and fun!!!!
Good Luck and I hope you let your imagination go crazy!

Neutral tones are especially practical in the world of decoration because their neutrally means they can easily be teamed up with other colors. Warm colors make a room seem smaller and more homey, a place where we can retreat to unwind.

There are many techniques for increasing the expressiveness of the walls and for making your home a place where you feel at ease. Many neutral tones are associated with natural materials, stone, earth, wood, straw, sand or with artificial materials such as metal, glass, and concrete.

Here are ten household helpful hints for choosing colors and wall covering fabrics to decorate your home:

1. White and neutral tones are an ideal backdrop to make a work of art or tapestry stand out.

2. Neutral tones should be applied when a space is overloaded architecturally, or when we want something to fade into the background.

3. Neutral tones age well so they can be used where you do not redecorate, or touch up, very often; or if our intention is to specifically create an aged effect.

4. Variations on neutral tones are ideal for small rooms.

5. White and neutral tones are a great way of combining different decorative styles as they act as a neutral transition zone between one style and the other.

6. Gray metal or gray concrete, two neutral tones, are especially apt for creating modern ambience with a cutting edge feel.

7. Textured neutral tones, like limestone or temperate paint, are perfect for creating rustic effects.

8. Neutral tones fabrics, carpets, curtains, or tapestries are a great help when decorating because they go well with al the colors.

9. If you want a room steeped in neutral tones to be livelier, you can introduce a few dramatic color touches dark colors, even black, are a good solution.

10. A neutral tone is perfect for painting a wall or doors that you want to be inconspicuous.
