If you want to add personality to your home, few colours bring as much joy and playfulness as bubblegum pink. This light, sweet shade of pink is lively, charming and full of nostalgic appeal. Whether you're looking to create a bold statement wall, refresh a piece of furniture or add a whimsical touch to a child’s room, bubblegum pink paint is a fabulous choice.
Let’s dive into the world of bubblegum pink and explore how you can use this cheerful hue to transform your home with Frenchic Paint.
Unwrapping bubblegum pink
First things first – what exactly is bubblegum pink?
The name alludes to that nostalgic shade of bubblegum found in many a pick ‘n’ mix stall. It’s a touch sweeter than very pale or pastel pinks, but not as racing as the hot pinks that define the barbiecore trend.
Bon Bon (below) is the quintessential Bubblegum pink paint colour, available in our Chalk Wall Paint and Trim Paint ranges.
Ballerina and Pinky offer a similar shade with a slightly lighter, more pared back vibe.
If you want a duskier appearance, try Vintage Rosie (below) or even Dusky Blush. The shadowy undertones make these colours the perfect fit for vintage aesthetics or just a more grown up, sophisticated look.
Why choose bubblegum pink?
Bubblegum pink is a unique shade that sits between soft pastels and vibrant pinks. It has just enough brightness to be eye-catching but remains light and airy enough to feel inviting. This balance makes it a fantastic choice for adding a sense of fun without overwhelming a space.
Here are a few reasons to love bubblegum pink:
Instant mood booster – It’s a colour that exudes happiness and positivity. A touch of any bubblegum pink paint colour can brighten up any space and lift the mood.
Versatile and stylish – Whether you prefer vintage, modern or eclectic décor, this pink shade can work beautifully in a variety of settings.
A nostalgic touch – Bubblegum pink paint carries a retro feel that can add a sense of playfulness and charm to your interiors.
Surprisingly sophisticated – When paired with the right colours, bubblegum pink can feel chic and stylish rather than overly sweet.
Where to use bubblegum pink in your home
1. Statement walls with a playful twist
If you want to inject some personality into a room without overwhelming the space, a bubblegum pink feature wall is a brilliant option. Try it in a bedroom, dressing area or even a hallway for an unexpected pop of colour.
For a balanced look, pair your pink wall with soft neutrals like white, grey, or beige. If you’re feeling adventurous, contrast it with bold shades like teal or mustard yellow for a trendy, contemporary vibe.
Frenchic’s Chalk Wall Paint range is perfect for this. With its velvety, ultra-matte finish and scrubbable durability, it’s ideal for walls that need both beauty and practicality.
2. Fun and fabulous furniture
One of the easiest ways to embrace bubblegum pink without a full wall commitment is by upcycling furniture. A pop of pink on a chair, dresser or side table can instantly freshen up your space and add a unique touch.
If you’re looking for an effortless way to update furniture, Frenchic’s Lazy and Al Fresco ranges are a dream. The self-priming, self-sealing properties make painting furniture a breeze – no need for extra wax or topcoats!
3. Charming kitchen accents
Pink in the kitchen? Absolutely! Bubblegum pink cabinets, bar stools or even just a painted kitchen island can add a cheerful, retro-inspired feel to your space. It pairs beautifully with warm woods, crisp whites and even deep greens for a trendy contrast.
For this kind of project, the Al Fresco range is a fantastic choice. It offers water resistance alongside self-priming and self-sealing qualities of our Lazy Range paints.
4. Whimsical children’s rooms
Bubblegum pink is a delightful choice for a nursery or children’s bedroom. It’s playful, comforting and can grow with your child when paired with more neutral tones. You can also mix it with pastel blues, yellows or greens for a soft, dreamy aesthetic.
The best part? Frenchic paints are EN71-3 certified, meaning they’re safe for use on children’s toys. You can paint with peace of mind, knowing you’re using a safe, eco-friendly product.
