Top tips: Putting pastel power to work in your home

As the weather gets warmer delicious ice-cream inspired pastels are being served up everywhere – this time in richly intense shades on the cooler side of sweet. Pastels look great in any room. Use them to reinvent and personalise your home.

Create a relaxed and soothing living space using the paler end of the pastel palette such as Eggshell Blue, Soft White, Dusty Rose, Unbleached, and Tea Green, colours that are key ingredients in the Scandinavian Country Lifestyle that we love so much. Layer textures of natural fabrics such as luxurious linen and crisp cotton for interest and movement.

Keep to muted tones on furnishings, adding edgy attitude with industrial textures and geometric shapes. Ice-cream parlour shades and mid-century style furniture bring a cool retro to the room.

Dip into all the delicious colours of sherbet to zone a bedroom or living area. Link adjoining rooms together by adding accessories in the same shade. Indulge in fun colour combinations, with pops of stronger shades for a modern take. Be creative using clever combinations to draw attention.

Neutral tones paired with natural material such as metal, light wood and glass provide a good backdrop for showcasing graphic art. Bright hits of yellow provide a touch of light therapy in an otherwise subdued colour scheme.

Use stronger pastels in the bedroom softened with translucent fabrics without being overly sweet.
