Bringing Pastel Tones into Your Home

Pastel tones, with their delicate charm and understated elegance, have long been cherished in the realm of interior design. From the gentle blush of pastel pink to the soothing allure of sage green, these subtle shades have the power to transform any space into a sanctuary of calmness and creativity. Discover the beauty of pastel tones, from their definition, application to transformative power in home design. 

Defining pastel tones 

The easiest way to classify pastel colours is by their delicate and muted hues. These colors are typically light and airy, with a low saturation level and a gentle, soothing quality. Although most people typically think of pastel tones such as light pinks and soft blues, in fact, most of the colours can be transferred into pastel tones. In home decor, pastel tones are typically created by adding white to pure hues, resulting in lighter shades with a low saturation level. Examples of pastel tones are endless and sometimes can even create separate colours. In this way, green can turn into sage green, purple can turn into lavender, pink into blush pink and beige can turn into cream. 

Tips on how to incorporate pastel tones in your home

Use neural base 

Use neutral colors such as white, beige, or light gray as a base for your space. This would provide a clean canva for the rest of the colours in your apartment to stand out. Incorporating pastel tones in your space will only add brightness to the overall style and will not overwhelm the layout of your space.

Opt for a dominant shade

If the variety of pastels overwhelms you, start by introducing them in smaller doses. These days you can find plenty of decor pieces in soft hues. Introduce vases, posters or accent pillows and mix them altogether over time. This way you would be able to see which ones stick out and which do not. And when you find your favourite, select it as a dominant colour and focal point of your space. 

Invite nature indoors

Bring the outdoors in by incorporating natural elements into your decor. Introduce plants, flowers, or botanical prints to infuse the space with a sense of freshness and vitality. Consider adding woven baskets, wooden accents or stone surfaces to enhance the organic feel of the room. Incorporating these elements will help to balance the sweetness of pastel tones and introduce harmony to your space.

What colours mix well with sage green, light pink and beige 

Sage green

Sage green mixes best with earthy tones. Pair sage green with natural materials such as wood, rattan, and stone to enhance its organic appeal. Incorporate wooden furniture pieces, woven baskets, and stone accents to bring warmth and texture to the space. These days you can find accent chairs that mix various materials and elements, like this Sage green Franca Accent chair upholstery and wooden legs. Mix of various elements add depth and dimension to the decor, creating a cozy and inviting space. 

Pastel pink

If you want to incorporate more colours into your space, you might want to consider elements of pink, take a look at our Pink Accent Chairs. Pairing them with soft neutrals like beige and cream will complement the whole space and evoke a sense of relaxation. Think of various textiles such as throw pillows or blankets that would add a subtle pop of colour to the room. And if you know soft pink is your colour, this Angela Accent Tub Chair would be a great addition to your room and elevate the whole space.

Beige/cream

Dark matte metal frames offer a sleek and contemporary alternative to traditional metallic finishes, adding an edgy and modern touch to beige and cream pastels. Opt for dark matte metal frames on mirrors or artwork to contrast the main colour palette. These days metal frames are more commonly used in furniture while mixing different materials, like this Graziana accent chair. Such combination creates a striking visual impact against the soft tones of beige and cream, enhancing the overall depth and sophistication of the space.

How pastel tones benefit creativity

Pastel colors in home decor can be beneficial for creativity. The soft and soothing nature of pastel tones creates a calming environment that allows the mind to relax and focus. This relaxed state can help stimulate creativity and inspire new ideas. Whether used in a home office, art studio or living space, pastel hues can inspire innovation and imagination while promoting a sense of peace and harmony. When surrounded by pastel hues, individuals may feel more comfortable and at ease, allowing their creativity to flow more freely.

Summary

By embracing pastel colour, from sage green to pastel pink and beyond, these gentle hues offer endless possibilities for transforming our living spaces. And by incorporating tips presented above, we can create spaces that inspire us everyday.
