Colours Of The Month: Berry Red And Pink!
By Ana Zuravliova
In any interior design project, colour plays a pivotal role in shaping the mood, atmosphere, and overall aesthetic of a space. Among the multitude of colours available, berry red and pink have emerged as timeless yet modern choices that effortlessly blend elegance with warmth. From sophisticated living rooms to cosy bedrooms, these hues will bring a touch of luxury and comfort to any space. In this blog, we’ll delve into the captivating world of berry red and pink in interior design, exploring their versatility, psychological impact, and creative applications.
The versatility of berry and red pink
Berry red and pink are far from one-dimensional colours; they encompass a wide spectrum of shades that can be adapted to various design styles. From deep, velvety burgundy to soft, blush-toned pinks, these hues cater to both bold and understated design styles. Whether you’re aiming for a classic, traditional look or a contemporary, modern vibe, berry red and pink can be seamlessly integrated into your design palette.
This elegant style is becoming popular with the recent Strawberry Girl trend sweeping TikTok and Instagram which celebrates fruity and dusky tones of pink and red. In this trend, we tend not to see the vibrant, electric pinks of Barbicore – these colours are more refined in its approach.
The emotions berry red and pink
Colours have the power to evoke emotions and influence our perception of a space. Berry red exudes a sense of richness and opulence, often associated with passion and energy. It can infuse a room with a touch of drama and create a focal point that demands attention.
On the other hand, pink, especially in its lighter shades, brings about feelings of serenity, innocence, and peace. Its calming effect can create a soothing atmosphere, making it a perfect choice for bedrooms or spaces where relaxation is key including living rooms, bedrooms and even bathrooms.
How to use berry red and pink at home
Statement Walls: Berry red and pink can be used to create captivating statement walls that anchor the design of a room. A deep berry accent wall in a living room can serve as a backdrop for art pieces or contrasting furniture. Great examples include pink Roman blinds, or even a luxurious curtain featuring a combination of pink and red.
Furniture and Upholstery: Incorporating berry red or pink furniture pieces can add a touch of luxury and sophistication. A plush pink armchair in a reading nook or a berry-red sofa in a lounge area can become the focal point of the room. For maximum effect, consider cushions and lamp shades in a chic supporting colour such as pale grey or cream.
Accessories and Accents: For those who prefer a more subtle approach, using berry red and pink as accent colours through accessories can be a great option. Throw pillows, rugs, lamp shades, and artwork featuring these wonderful colours will infuse vibrancy into the space without overwhelming it.

Adding supporting colours: Pairing berry red and pink with other colours can lead to stunning combinations. Teaming them with neutral tones like beige, cream, or grey can create a harmonious balance, while incorporating metallic accents can elevate the overall luxurious feel. For a more daring approach, you can also mix in a bit of sage green or eucalyptus for a beautiful contrast.
Berry red and pink are a dynamic duo capable of transforming spaces into inviting havens with their diverse shades and emotional resonance. Whether you’re looking to create a cosy bedroom infused with romance or a sophisticated living area that exudes luxury, these hues offer a world of creative possibilities. By understanding their psychological impact and experimenting with various applications, you can harness the power of berry red and pink to craft interiors that are both visually captivating and emotionally enriching.
