The secret to making cupcake pink blend and complement, not stand out awkwardly, is to pair it with warm neutrals. These can be soft, like silver gray or almond cream or rich, like spiced berry or coral. A whisper of pink on the walls, when paired with neutral shades of warm gray, creamy white and pale almond, gives a room a crisp, expansive look.

In large estate homes where rooms are big and weighty, soft pink might not suit the public rooms, but it’s perfect for bringing serenity into the private places, like the bedrooms and bathrooms. Use cupcake pink on one large piece in a bedroom, perhaps on the headboard, and add coordinating accents with pillows, bed linens and rugs in shades of pink and red. Balance it all with warm neutrals everywhere else. A bathroom with walls painted in Cupcake Pink. Bathrooms are perfect for this shade of pink, especially those with white or cream hard surfaces.
