Through color trends and cultural moments, pink is always present in some form. From the days of Barbiecore to dopamine decor, pink makes its presence known through punchy hues and subtle shades alike. It makes a great base color for a space like a powder room, as proven by Bryce Dallas Howard.

According to design insiders, pink can actually bring a calming, soothing energy to your bathroom or powder room.
'A pink bathroom suite not only adds a playful, feminine feel to your home, but the colour is known for radiating a sense of softness, kindness and nurturing quality, setting your mind at ease,' says Cassandra Leisz, Creative Director at interiors brand, Ruggable. Whether you pair your pink bathroom suite with soft, neutral creams or darker greys, it’ll create a sense of serenity to your experience in a fun, colourful way.'
Alternatively, a bold powder room or bathroom can tap into the ever-popular trend of vibrant and colorful palettes when you opt for brighter shades. Regardless, it comes down to personal preference.
'Picking the right color is key to getting the trend right for your home,' says Louise Ashdown, head of design at West One Bathrooms. 'But with a selection of shades lined up as 2025’s key looks, there’s sure to be a color to suit you. A firm favourite for 2025 is rich reds and deep burgundy. Soothing pastels remain popular – think pink (remember Barbiecore?) green (even avocado!) and lavender – these soft shades create a light and airy space bursting with personality.'
Bryce's wallpaper bridges both the calming properties, with the natural illustrations, and the bold sensibilities of a pure, medium pink. The pink marble adds some further texture to the space with its veining, complementing the patterned wallpaper beautifully.
With plenty of shade options, pink is a fantastic bathroom or powder room color selection due to its versatility and adaptability within trends.
