how to incorporate bright pink paint into a girl's room

<br />So a little while back I had a client email me for an online consult. He had just moved into a new condo in the city with his daughter. We worked on choosing two grey paint colours for his main space, and then he asked for help with his little girls room, shown bottom right in the floorplan below.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC-N2ytj4mB2E64e1U56XTYQWF8a-tLBB1Y2ge2IzNUhFoBNtiQD74YcJUAtGGUi1YU8g9Krrk09CbnY3vc04E7EdNZ7vcy28PrQQd_Rb12ssOw9ackZQUeewJxMaFa4AjO02UFqbkOpE/s1600/image.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC-N2ytj4mB2E64e1U56XTYQWF8a-tLBB1Y2ge2IzNUhFoBNtiQD74YcJUAtGGUi1YU8g9Krrk09CbnY3vc04E7EdNZ7vcy28PrQQd_Rb12ssOw9ackZQUeewJxMaFa4AjO02UFqbkOpE/s1600/image.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />It seems like most young girls request a pink room at some point, and it's almost always fuchsia, or another shocking shade of this colour that they like. The question is how do you work this colour into their rooms without it becoming garish?<br /><br />My client asked me to find a way to tone down the colour, and work in black, which is what his daughter had asked for. This is not a large space, and so we needed to incorperate the pink without it overwhelming the space. Thought maybe some of you are struggling with the same dilemma in your own homes, and would be interested in the options we discussed.<br /><br />First of all, I asked him to show his daughter the photo below - was it really bright pink she wanted, or just pink? A softer pink could be paired with black and used on all her wall space and the effect would be soft and lighthearted.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtyaAnlBURjQubURMcmKvkJ5091Yv4Hch0akluEqAXDWhlUAHs6PG5S7zU3doGgLGM8PuXj96g6OqgfMxDZgNfPqjooUW-Rz-9aWl7VQZTFsNvwS_sg3803nst7rIxDt-IKrGNXbnVkAo/s1600/20547742020050557_XYl6OL1D_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtyaAnlBURjQubURMcmKvkJ5091Yv4Hch0akluEqAXDWhlUAHs6PG5S7zU3doGgLGM8PuXj96g6OqgfMxDZgNfPqjooUW-Rz-9aWl7VQZTFsNvwS_sg3803nst7rIxDt-IKrGNXbnVkAo/s640/20547742020050557_XYl6OL1D_c.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />Nope.

ON THE WALLS. Right. This girl knows what she wants! Moving back on track...<br /><br /><br />First of all, there is the accent wall. I'm not a huge fan of accent walls, but in a child's room, on the headboard wall, they can work. I suggested a white bedding, warm white on the other three walls, and adding the black accents on those walls via picture frames.
