18 Dreamy Kitchens That Are Pretty in Pink

Are you considering a new color scheme for your kitchen? While you can't go wrong with rich, stained cabinets, vibrant jewel tones or — everyone's favorite — earthy greens, we're challenging you to consider a shade that's not quite so popular for a kitchen: pink. That's right. From vivid magenta islands to blush walls and rosy cabinets, these designer kitchens will inspire you to rethink pink. Not convinced? Keep reading!

This vintage-inspired kitchen (tucked inside a historic Tudor) is packed with storybook style thanks to pastel-painted cabinets and antique brass accents. The drying rack above the sink is original to the 1930s abode, but now it's used to display a collection of pretty dishware. Painting all the woodwork in this light pink hue gives the whole room a rosy glow.

The soft blush color chosen for these kitchen walls help make the high ceiling feel more cozy. The subtle pink tones are repeated in the zellige tile backsplash. Gray-washed cabinets and industrial copper pendants keep the space from skewing too sweet. The board and batten detailing on the base of the peninsula is one of the architectural details that gives this modern space character. “It’s in the same wood and finish as the cabinetry above,” says designer Brian Patrick Flynn.

Pattern and texture are key in this urban contemporary kitchen. The bold peony and vine backsplash makes a dramatic statement and is offset by sleek wood cabinets. The vibrant pink island is color matched to the BlueStar stove, and contemporary pendant lights illuminate the space.

This adorable kitchen sacrifices no style because of its small size. The range hood surround is painted the same color as the rest of the walls — a delicate pink that brings just enough warmth to the stunning marble counter and cool gray backsplash.

“My parents and my contractor were skeptical, but I wanted to reclaim pink," says homeowner Jill Wiggins. "It’s not just girly and feminine!" To balance out the pink cabinets, she opted for edgy, graphic tiles on the floor.

This monochrome kitchen has a few important accents that wake up the pink palette: modern mint-and-orange pendants, sleek chrome stools and an array of leafy houseplants.

Is it pink? Is it beige? However you see it, it's undeniably gorgeous. The muted pink paint color on the cabinets is repeated on the door trim and crown molding, and the subtle tones in the wallpaper pair with it perfectly.

In addition to stainless appliances, plenty of cabinets and a breakfast nook, the kitchen comes with an eat-in island. Four barstools provide comfortable seating and complement the black-and-pink color scheme.

“I had this wallpaper made based on a vintage wallpaper that I saw online that I obviously couldn’t buy anywhere,” homeowner Samantha Klein explains. The kitchen cabinets are painted Baby Soft by Clare, a classic pink that complements the warm tones in that vintage-that’s-new-again paper perfectly.

This kitchen feels cheerful and vibrant with details like the zippy pink rug and the gray geometric pattern on the floor. Even the ceiling gets in on the action with an octagon painted bright pink!

Punk rock princesses will feel totally at home in this edgy black-and-pink kitchen. With its black countertops, gold hardware and midcentury fixture, the space is the perfect mix of bold and glamorous.

Using a dusty pink hue (Venetian Rose by Benjamin Moore) on the walls and ceiling in this walk-in pantry allows the unique, Moroccan-inspired doorway from the adjacent kitchen to really standout.

This transitional white kitchen features white cabinets, a gray tile backsplash, a kitchen island with blue barstools, a white farmhouse sink and a pink rug.

Geometric patterns (octagons are the star shape) and the color pink are the unifying elements of this kitchen's jazzy design. Graphic tile by Walker Zanger decorates the floor. And playful twists are everywhere: goat legs for these upholstered stools, hot pink tassels on the motorized shades.

Pink barstools wake up this chic gray and white transitional kitchen that features a cozy breakfast nook. The iron pendant lights and chandelier are a crisp finishing touch.

This updated kitchen gives a nod to the past with its retro appliances that standout in light pink.
