Design Ideas for Pink Walls and a Black Valance

Black and pink designs can be used for any room.

Pink walls come to life with accents. Black valances paired with sheer white curtains, other black accessories and a combination of textiles can make pink walls pop. Choose graphic prints for throws, pillows, lampshades and other textiles. Damask, polka dots, florals, botanicals and geometrics are all suitable choices for a pink and black bedroom. Whether you choose watermelon, fuchsia or another shade of pink, multiple design options are available.

Watermelon

Paint your office walls a daring shade of watermelon, and accessorize with black. Choose a modern black valance. Options include a box pleat, a rod pocket or an ascot. Choose a black fabric with some sheen. If you hang the valence with a blind or a set of curtains, choose a lighter shade to create some balance. Elsewhere in the room, add ornate picture frames or a mirror with a black frame and textiles with a black trim or pattern, and add flecks of pink and white to create a sophisticated palette.

Fuchsia

Punctuate fuchsia walls in a bedroom with a black valance, along with a black canopy bed. Use the same black fabric for the valance and the canopy drapes to unify the look. A swag valance, a Sheffield valance or a boxed-pleat valance work well here. Choose a fabric pattern such as black and white gingham, silver and black damask, black with white or pink polka dots or a black-striped pattern with bands of pink and white.

Shell Pink

Think Hollywood glam for this valance and pink wall combination for a dining room. Have a custom valance designed with a shimmery black fabric such as satin or crushed silk. Have a sparkly trim made with beads. Add delicate black accents like a black chandelier with crystals and beads. Paint moldings and trim a shiny black piano finish. Consider remaking vintage chairs with the black and pink color scheme chosen for the walls and the valance.

Barely There

Pick the palest shade of pink for a living room, and decorate it with bold accent colors. Choose a valance to complement the decor of your home. One idea is to choose a basic black cotton and have it embroidered with a pattern you can repeat elsewhere in the room. Arabesque patterns with pale pink thread can tie the wall color into the valance. Add throw pillows in bright blue tones with arabesque patterns to revisit the theme in the valance. Layer other colors and patterns into the room for a textured look.
