From pink to yellow, blue and green, pastel colours can help to add softness and subtle shades to a space.

While these colours can be used in youthful spaces, when paired with rich, deep foundation colours such as black, brown and indigo blue, a modern sense of luxury can be achieved in mature areas of a home such as living rooms, dining areas, family rooms and master bedrooms.

Pink

Powder pink is a great colour to complement any space. Pair pink with white or cream to blend soft colours or pair with black to create a strong contrast.

Yellow

Muted and soft, yellow allows one to bring in a “hint” of colour without overpowering the space. Yellow works well with pure white as opposed to off-white or cream. Brown, blue or black also work well with pastel yellow.

Blue and green

Pastel blue and green are versatile and can be used in a variety of clever ways to incorporate colour into your space. Due to the saturation of colour associated with blue and green they can easily be “dressed up or dressed down”. Hence these shades remain a popular choice in home decor.
