Pink is the color of universal love. It’s soft and gentle on the eyes and it always brings out the sweet innocence of the child in all of us. When it comes to wall decor, this color is often associated with girls. Surprisingly, I found a few well-decorated living rooms and bedrooms in this shade that anyone will appreciate. Here’s the twist: these are all half painted pink walls! This is what triggered me to compile this post for you today.
After you carefully observe these pictures, you’ll notice that each has a shade of pink on the bottom white from there to the top of the ceiling. I think the mix of pink and white makes it easy to bring in the masculine elements into the room. Don’t you agree?
I recently read about a prison study that was done to show how the colors of a cell would change the behaviors of prisoners. It was assumed that when put in pink, the captives would act gentler and softer. However, the results of the experiment showed that prisoners found more creative ways to escape! Do not underestimate the power that pink can have in a room – it’s more than just a color for little girls; it’s for everyone who wants to be ingenious! In color psychology, pink is a sign of hope. With that said scroll through and tell me if you would half paint your walls pink?

I agree Vidya. Pink is magical. It’s my favourite, and brings me much joy in my home. Thanks for sharing this at Five Star Frugal. Love, Mimi xxx
I have to admit, I am not a pink fan by any means. I do love the way the walls in the photos looked though. Breaking up the color made it much more effective and much less in your face. I love the story about the cells and jumpsuits the prisoners have. I’ve seen pictures of those prisoners and it always makes me giggle!
OH I am loving these half-painted pink walls! They are absolutely gorgeous. You’re right about them not just being for girls, but I’d love to have an awesome with walls like this. Great post!
I didn’t know that half painted walls was a thing either. Pink is such a gorgeous color with so many shades that make it more than just a “girly” color. These pictures are quite striking. I wonder if they would have the same effect if the top portion were pink and the bottom white? hmmm…
I didn’t even know that this was a thing, but it’s beautiful! I would totally do this!

Interesting ideas. I think I would try a half painted pink wall for a couple of months to see how I like it.
It looks very nice with the crib, too. Lets just hope the half painted pink walls won’t make the baby try to escape!
I love all the rooms! I had read a story once about the Sheriff in Arizona, making all the inmate uniforms pink, as a way to strip them of their masculinity…I have a feeling that it didn’t work! lol I really like the half pink walls, instead of a full wall…it breaks up the room nicely, while still being kind to the eyes, and I agree…it definitely makes it easier to add in masculine elements!
I thought the story of the prison using pink in the cells and then the prisoners found more creative ways to escape was so funny. My husband and I laughed about that. I’ve always loved a pink wall. When I was growing up, my parents painted our living room a soft pink and it became a favorite room for everyone 😀
