Gone are the days when pastel colors were considered appropriate only for nurseries or kids’ rooms. This soft family of hues has so much more to offer! From lending a calm, soothing tint to your walls to adding a pop of color to a room and everywhere in between, pastels are colors for all seasons. And their use has been rediscovered in recent times. Join us on a trip to discover how to use these soft, relaxing shades to change the mood of your home!
#1: Minty Greens & Steely Blues for Your Walls



Pastel room colors are the quickest and simplest way to set the tone for the room. With the entire room or even an accent wall painted a soft green, the space becomes the perfect sanctuary for rest. On the other hand, the brighter blues make for a vibrant room suited to energetic people!
#2: Sky Blue & Soft Pink Wallpapers


If you do not want to go through the trouble of repainting a room but still want to give it a makeover, fear not! Wallpapers are a faster way to revamp your walls. A floral sky-blue wallpaper livens up the dining room, creating a refreshing vibe. On the other hand, a pastel pink room creates a romantic vibe that is perfect for a couple. When the wallpaper is used together with a matching blanket and cushions, the color sets the mood for romantic and relaxing pillow talk!
#3: Tiles in Varying Hues of Green


If you are thinking that pastel room colors find no use in kitchens and bathrooms, think again! A pop of pastel green like this one can brighten up the dullest of bathrooms.
Moreover, the kitchen is the heart of the house; the space where nourishing meals are cooked from scratch. A soft, moss-green hue on the kitchen tiles is natural and life-affirming. It certainly uplifts the mood of the home chef!

#4: Sea-Green Shelves, Candy-Colored Wardrobes & Steel-Blue Cabinets

Why should pastel colors be limited to the walls? Play around with colorful shelves and cabinets to breathe new life into your home! A sea-green shelf against a monotone wall draws attention effortlessly. Use it as the perfect backdrop to display all your knick-knacks!

If candy brings sweetness to our lives, won’t candy-colored wardrobes do the same? These cute wardrobes can certainly find a place in a kids’ room or playroom. Who knows, it might even inspire them to keep their belongings tidy!

If shelves and wardrobes can be pastel-colored, why should cabinets be left out? Liven up your kitchen cabinets with these soft tones and let there never be a grey moment while cooking! Steel-blue cabinets in the kitchen drive the blues away, making sure you create many more memories while cooking!
#5: Upholstered Furniture in Pastel Colors, Sea Greens & Baby Blues

Why keep your upholstered furniture in neutral shades? Pretty pastel for upholstered furniture make the space appear soft and soothing! Take inspiration from this sea-green couch and ottoman that complement the soft colors and the abundant natural light in this living room, adding to the laid-back vibe.

If you are afraid of going overboard with pastel shades, fear not! Add a pop of color with brighter cushions. Powder-blue couches with red or maroon-colored cushions against a neutral wall look at once edgy and sophisticated.
#6: Soft Furnishings in Light Pinks and Steel Greys

Against a neutral setting, the easiest way to alter the appearance of a room is through the extensive use of soft furnishings. So use throw cushions, bedspreads, pillow covers, curtains and the like. These are always the easiest to get hold of and don’t involve too much investment!

The trick with using pastel colors in soft furnishings is to find the right balance of neutrals that make them pop without going overboard. Brighten up a fresh white bed with soft pink cushions and a matching bedspread and watch your room take on a soft feminine tone. Alternatively, use a blue-grey bedspread for a more elegant bedroom.
#7: Pastel-Hued Accessories


The right accessories make a difference in the appearance of a room. Hang a painting or piece of art on the wall and watch how it transforms the room in a matter of minutes! The amazing part about using pastels is that they can go well with neutrals, whites and deep colors just the same. So pastel-hued accessories can fit into any kind of decor.
