I'm a sucker for a pretty pale pink, especially in the bedroom. Pink can be soft and romantic, not to mention great for the skin. That being said, it's tough to find a shade that's sweet but not saccharine, feminine but not girly. Here are some inspired blush boudoirs that get it right and some paint swatches to help you get the look in your own room.

The first one is what I imagine the perfect pink color would be. It's bright enough to stand out, calm enough to be a neutral, and doesn't err too much on having black, red, or white undertones.
I'm with Pi, it's also the only room that, to me, a man may consider living in.
I love the bed in the first pic - any idea where it is from?
@lweb it looks like it's similar to the Vintage Fir Plank and Vintage Fir Platform bedsfrom Viva Terra to me:

Not exact but close!
#5 has been yanked too far toward "orchid" for me to call it pink, but I'm a man and I would be happy as a clam in a bedroom painted in any of these colors.
Behr Musical Mist is also a fantastic pink.

ITA with @lweb - that bed in the first photo needs a story on its own! It's amazing!
Pale pink rooms often tip into grandma territory, but the first room by Katie Lydon Interiors
nails it. The great dark wook bed and brilliant splash of colour form the painting works brilliantly. Actually here the pale pink is a refreshing change from the predictable white walls we often see. The other rooms though.... I can live without.
I'm pretty sure the bed is from BDDW:

I love the second one. Romantic. It looks like it belongs in Paris.
Love the color and rustic headboard. Can anyone tell me where I could find it?
Does anyone know where I could find the bed? I checked out the bddw.com site but they don't even offer a price which leads me to think their prices must be astronomical.
Anyone know where I could get the painting above the bed? Love it! Thank you!
