Sweet like Candy: Add A Pop of Pastel to Your Kitchen

Pastel colours ruled the world of interior design during the early 1990s, and now they are finally back in fashion. We have had to wait a long time to get excited about candy pink, luscious lemon and mint green, but very few would deny that it hasn’t been worth it. Not only this, but this is a trend that is even more so great at present as pastels are widely associated with spring.

If you get your colour palette right then you can easily create a retro feel. This vintage trend has always been a popular one in the kitchen. The best way to achieve this style is to go for a palette consisting of bolder pastels that are balanced out by crisp neutrals. Thus your daring pastels can consist of the likes of rose and violet, whilst neutrals such as ivory and baby blue can tame the overall impact. The result is fantastic; feminine yet with a punch of feistiness.

The great thing about adding pastels to your kitchen is the fact that you don’t need to embark on a huge redecoration process in order to do so. One effective method of implementing the trend is to merely buy a selection of sugary coloured plates, mugs, and alike. Display a selection of these around your kitchen, rather than merely putting them away in a cupboard. Alternatively you can change fabric via purchasing pastel curtains and a matching tablecloth.
