Interior Obsessions – Pastel Palette

With the Easter holiday right around the corner, I have been inundated with images of pastel tones used in a modern way (like these graffiti eggs.) So naturally, I’m looking out for some great ways to incorporate pastel colors into the home. Sky blue, mint green, baby pink and soft yellow might feel most at home in the nursery, but thoughtfully combined with simple whites and woods, pastels can make a strong statement without feeling overwhelming.

Don’t forget that you can decide to use just one pastel color if the thought of a mix is just too much for you. Pick your favorite, and add it to neutrals to make it pop, or mix it with similar colors in medium and dark tones to give a space some monochromatic variety. Or go all out and use them all!

How do you incorporate pastels in your home?
