Pastels are one of the hottest trends in home decor right now. Typically associated with spring and summer, pastel colours are some of the hottest new colours for fall. Why? Pastels are gender-neutral and blend well with other colours while creating a sense of soothing and calm in a subtle way.
Pastel pink: Pastel pink is one of the more popular pastel colours. Pink is a great foundation colour and can easy be used as the base colour for nearly any colour palette. Chocolate brown, charcoal grey, as well as black are great colours to pair with pastel pink and can help create a sophisticated and luxurious look.
Mint green: No longer considered medicinal or drab, mint green is one of the key pastels taking centre stage in home decor. Don’t be afraid to use various tints, tones and shades of green to create a colour palette. Sage green, mint green, sea green and even a soft turquoise can be used.
Powder blue: Think tranquil and calm with powder blue. It’s a fabulous accent colour, and can be ideal for accent decor elements such as toss pillows, throws and accent walls.
Getting started: Looking for pastel decor elements to infuse pastel colours into your home? Begin with portable decor — pieces that can be easily moved from room to room and swapped in and out with the seasons, such as toss pillows, throws, Ottomans, side chairs, stools or benches, vases, candles — and small decorative elements such as agates, book ends, figurines and even florals.
