Fruit Pastels for the Home

Sugary sweet, why not try lightening up the home with some pastel tones? You may remember Pantone’s colours of the year, Rose Quartz and Serenity, well pink and blue are two perfectly good colours for introducing the trend into your home…

However, why not be a little bolder with pastels and use “fruitier” tones? Clash your colours for an exciting and playful scheme. Contemporary geometrics are a great way to be a little bit more experimental or why not update period features to bring them on trend.
