With pastel background the interior can be monochrome, consisting of shades of the same color of different saturation.
2. Mix of pastel colors
All shades of this kind are perfectly combined with each other. You can combine them in the interior in any way. For example, in painting the walls with blocks (using the “color blocking” method) or in grouping colorful pillows on the sofa.
Pastel multicolor is much safer and more pleasing to the eye than a mixture of rich tones.
3. Pastel accents
Yes, elements of not only deep, but also muted colors can act as bright strokes. True, the range of their application is limited - pastel accents "work", as a rule, only in neutral interiors.
4. Pastel furniture
Furniture in soft spring tones looks light, sometimes even weightless. It does not overload the space. This makes her ideal solution for small spaces.
