Salmon coloured wall paper, fuchsia chequered floor tiles and beaded curtains the same shade as rosé wine made up the very pink door room that became a trending topic in China this week.

Since the photographs of the room was shared on Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter, yesterday, the trending topic had close to nine million views.

The pictures showed a surreal living space where almost every single inch of the room was plastered in a shade of pink.

This included everything from the wall paper and floor tiles to seat covers and the beaded curtains.

The unusual bedroom attracted the attention of many Chinese web users and the images were soon picked up by the local news outlet.

In one instance, the photo had been shared more than 10,000 times and had over 13,000 comments.

Many Weibo users joked about whether the men living in the dorm were male prostitutes while others questioned why men couldn't live in a pink room.

Some Weibo users have also responded by posting images of their own quirky dorm rooms, which included cartoon balloons, painted candy and faux exposed-brick walls.
