There's just something about this pastel hued home that I'm really liking. I came across it in uber photographer Simon Watson's portfolio. When I usually think of pastels in home decor, I think of that shabby chic look or something too frou frou and frilly for me...well this home has changed my view on that!
Lavenders, blues and the palest of pinks in the living room. Then there is a soft sea foam green blue used in the dining room and den. Hmmm...these are definitely pastel colors but read as neutrals in my view.
Modern and sophisticated. Not a lot of fuss. Fuss-less is important here I think when using such potentially fussy colors. Simplicity is key.
Sea foam green drapery and chairs making the dining room the perfect place to entertain. (above) |
What to do you think of this decor ode to pastels? Like or dislike? Any of these colors you might use in your home or anything you would absolutely never use? Do tell!
Happy Tuesday!
