Sorry, green, this is the colour all the most stylish homes are pairing with pink this summer and beyond

Red wall panelling and pink paint with a pink bed and red side table.

Over the last few years, green and pink have been the ultimate playful trending colour pairing. The contrasting colour scheme was everywhere (I've even adopted it in my own home). While this colour combo will always look good, if you're looking for a more trend-led colour combo, this year it's all about pink and red. This trending colour combo has been the breakout trend of 2026, and I'm confident it will continue into 2027.

Pink and red have both undergone a renaissance in the last year, emerging as two of the biggest colour trends of 2026. However, it's the bold and playful pairing of the two shades that is taking off in a big way this summer.
