Pastels are experiencing a renaissance of sorts in the world of interiors, with many brands - both High Street and luxury - adding more than a gentle nod to the soft colourful shades in their current collections. As such sorbet hues are no longer tied to children's bedrooms, instead they are claiming a stake across products for living and dining as well. That said, it's the kitchen where the trend is most noticeable this season and, potentially, one of the easiest spaces to work the sweet as sugar shades. You could opt for sky blue walls with dusty pink accent in your tablecloth, or swap out the pink hue for a primrose yellow to take off the feminine edge. Have you decorated with pastel hues? How do you like to decorate with these shades?

I love the pastels popped against a stronger shade. It appears to make the pastel the focal even though it is quietly sitting there looking calm. Great combo's.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I think it helps to give a scheme a sense of depth as well.
DeleteLove these colour combos - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMakes me dream of spring! So pretty :)
ReplyDeletei like that the blue is soft without looking washed out. fresh and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteMy space went through a transformation this winter and now mostly in neutral with pastel yellow. With spring in mind, I'm adding pastel coral into the mix and the balcony will be dressed in pastel blue.
ReplyDeleteTo funk up the pastel blue outdoor living space, I'm considering a mod black and white striped carpet.
Will see how all these come together!
I'm loving the sound of your plans for the balcony - can't wait to see, Tim!
DeleteI could not focus on the colors for the sight of that star-shaped pancake. That's a Yank's dream come true, you know. :)

I love the vintage feeling they evoke but not sure I would want pastels in my own kitchen. I think I'm drawn to stronger colours together with a more neutral palette. Have a happy weekend Will!x

ReplyDeleteI think you're right, these colors work best (and are easiest to incorporate into) the kitchen! I love the accessories you featured.
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage feel of those colours! Our bedroom is painted pastel blue and I think it's a very easy shade to go with different styles and lots of other colours.
ReplyDeletestop posting all that gorgeous kitchenware, you're making me greedy! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAll of it reminds me of growing up! My mom has so much vintage Pyrex in all different shades. Pretty!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I come across pastel shades so often lately! They bring spring a tad closer don't you think? Enjoy your weekend Will! xoxo
ReplyDeletePastels are popping up everywhere these days. Love the look, when I see it all propped and pretty like this post! I do like touches of it, but mostly in my pyrex ;) Have a great weekend!
