A sprinkling of sugar – injecting pastels into your interiors. Just don’t make it too sw

According to those ‘in the know’ pastels are BIG in 2014.

  1. Benjamin Moore has downgraded grey and in its place heralds “breath of fresh air” pale blue

  2. Heal’s Tottenham Court Rd store window sets are styled with pastels, mostly pinks

  3. H&M has pale pink as a running theme throughout its core SS14 homewares range

  4. John Lewis Maison trend is all about the pale and beautiful

  5. Ferm Living has injected more pastels into its soft furnishings

  6. IKEA launched the Bråkig collection, the colours of which are misty pastels

…. what more can I say, if you’re shopping high street, then pastels will be hard to avoid. Take a look here for yourself….

Ferm Living pastel hues & geometric shapes

IKEA Bråkig collection – more pastels and geometrics

Being more of a fan of all things bold, pastels aren’t generally on my radar. However when mixed up with metallics – especially brass, bold wham bam dark inky blue, deep dark grey or even blackened aubergine and ever stylish geometric pattern, you’ve certainly got my attention *smile*.

How do pastels make you feel? Fancy them in your own home?

I can feel Spring in the air, can you?

It’s making me sooooo happy – yay!
