Rediscovering the appeal of modern pastel at home
Soothing pastels are making a comeback in our interiors – and this trend is about capturing a feeling of serenity and self-care at home. Isn’t it time you got reacquainted with these modern ice-cream shades?
Pastels are back and in a big way. Whether you are thinking of giving your interior a full makeover or want to refresh your space, the pastel trend is perfect.
Conveying a message of cleanliness and simplicity, modern pastels fit into a minimalist design aesthetic. They bring a sense of wellness and comfort that feels fitting for our busy lives — enduring messages that we all need right now.
Once you have finished decorating your home with the pastel trend, you’ll treasure your weekends inside your home relaxing in your colourful interior.
1. Go Pretty with Pastels
Pastel colours have a calming effect and can transform a room into a tranquil haven. Everybody needs a peaceful sanctuary to unwind in at the end of the day and pastels are the perfect way to create this. That is why I started with my bedroom, giving it a refresh with this cool trend.
This look is filled with soft ombre shades of lilac, baby blue, mint, and lemon that offer a peacefulness that is soothing for the soul. These colours created a relaxed feel, add a nostalgic appeal, and work well in every home style.
2. Be Dramatic
These days, pastels have a modern and contemporary feel. How can you create this look at home? By choosing furniture with simple shapes, cool accessories, and soft-to-touch textiles in these relaxing tones.
What is great about this soft colour palette is that you can pair it with navy blue, turquoise and mustard into your room bringing this look bang-up to date. For a chic look, modern pastels look fabulous with natural accessories like rattan, wood, or a wicker tray perfect for breakfast in bed.
3. Incorporate Patterns
If you love patterns then why not dress your bed in dotty prints? The contrast of this bold print emits a fresh and funky feel. In my own bedroom, I coupled this baby blue polka bedding with teals, pinks, and a splash of ochre with my cushions, bringing this interior together. I’ve fully embraced the pastel trend.
These fresh pastel tones will add depth to your colour scheme when combined with bolder patterns and colours.
4. Go Modern
When creating a show stopping interior inspired by modern pastels, thing about all the little details in your room. Start by decorating your room with an elegant wallpaper, put down a cosy rug, hang vintage style artwork and choose modern lighting. It’s adding rainbow décor details that work within your existing room scheme.
Don’t you think there is something relaxing about these lighter pastel shades in your home? They will help you escape from the world. And it’s easy to style into your home using soft textiles, bedding, and decorative decor throughout your space.
