Pretty pinks, delicate ice cream shades, minty tones, sky blues, creamy yellows – pastels are here to stay and they are surely not going to go away any time soon. If you still think that pastels are reserved only for children’s rooms and decor then you are sadly mistaken – the pastel colour palette has taken over the world of design and is now being used in almost every room of the house – be it bathrooms, kitchens, living spaces and bedrooms.
If you are trying to make your interiors pop and revamp your walls with some amazing pastels, here are five ways in which you can incorporate these delicious shades into your house.
Pastel blues are beautiful, blissful, and beyond comparison. Shades of pastel blues are sure to add a touch of serenity and peace to any corner of your house. Pastel blues are most prominently used in bathrooms and kitchens, however, you can use them in almost any room of your house.
Just because you are getting a pastel-shaded tile, it does not mean that your whole room needs to be of some lighter shade. You can use pastel blues to create a moody yet modern kitchen by using them as your backsplash. Just pair the pastel shades with rich shades of jewel blue in the form of accessories and cabinetry for a decadent accent. This combination is to die for and is very contemporary.
If you do not want to choose a darker accent, you can still do a lot while keeping everything light. You can use lighter tones such as wood tones and white accents to accentuate your pastel blues. These look stunning in bathrooms. For an added oomph factor, you can choose patterned blue pastel tiles.
Pink is not just pretty in name, it is also pretty in its nature. It is one of the most used and highly versatile shades as far as interior design is concerned. It can be used everywhere, including bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and even exteriors. It can be used in retro-inspired bedrooms and can also be used in modern settings. Pair the pink tiles with rattan furniture for a decadent bedroom or add modern accessories and pair them with pink tiles in your bathroom for a unique look.
For added panache, consider patterned pink tiles. The geometric and pretty designs will surely provide a focal point and will also break the monotony of monochrome. If you are more into the traditional side, you can choose glossy pink tiles and use them as a splashback in your kitchen or your shower. This will surely add a playful touch to your room.
Greys have always been one of the most popular shades of neutrals which explains why everyone loves to use them in interior design. Did you know that grey can also be used in soft pastel palettes for a classy yet cool look? It is definitely the colour of choice for people who want to use pastels, but still want to have a muted elegance in their decor. Grey can look amazing with natural textures and plants and is ideal if you want to create a bathroom that looks and feels like a spa.
If you think that grey means plain and boring then you are mistaken. Grey can look quite stunning if you add a few accent elements. You can also put up the tiles in an eclectic pattern such as horizontal stacking to create interest in the design. This way, not only will your design look sleek and good, but you will still be able to maintain the minimal look that you like.
Shades of mint are some of the most refreshing and revitalising colours. Mint-coloured tiles can suit almost all rooms, but look exceptionally good in bathrooms. You can also use them to create focus on the backsplash in the kitchen or can use them outdoors for a quirky look. Mint is surely one of the most versatile pastel shades out there.
Mint can be paired with many different colours but it goes really well with pink. Pink and mint together are a pastel heaven. The popping pink can bring out the subtle shades of mint in a contrasting yet coordinating way.
For people who think more is always better, why stick to one pastel shade when you can combine them together? Pink and mint, pink and blue, green and pink, and mint and grey are some of the many endless options that you can pick, and don’t worry, all of them look equally good.
You can use various combinations to create asymmetric looks with different shades. You can combine mint and grey and use them as a splashback. To break the monotony and to create coordinated chaos, add a couple of tiles of other pastel shades. This will surely add an extra element and a sense of character to your room.
If you want to use other shades with pastels, you can also combine the pastel tiles with marble, wood, and various other tiles and accessories. These can look equally good and will add a unique touch to your place. Marble with pastels oozes style and luxury.
