When we think of pastels we think of spring, right? Use some pastels for your interior and make a nice transition from summer in to autumn. As if you would see the colors through the fog on an early autumn morning, that is the spirit of the autumn pastels; muted and grayish.

You start to feel this mood, right? The days are getting shorter and we will spend more time inside our home. Our outdoor activities will be replaced by different activities in the house. Finally reading that book that you prepared for this summer holiday. Re-decorate a room in the house or start a new hobby. Let’s start by making our home feel cozy.

Autumn is inviting us to spend more time with ourselves, to reflect on what the year has taught us and what we dream of for the coming months. As much as our lives need a bit of action, those muted colors need a contrast. Black will do the job perfectly and bring character to your interior.

We are ready to show our feminine side in those rooms. Use those pastels in contrast with a darker color, brown will be a great match. A wallpaper with a masculine print will bring balance to this, if not to, feminine room. Or a modern armchair to create a room that feels very trendy.

The long and dark evenings will arrive soon, no better way to bring in the right spirit than with candles. Make it different this year, be creative, use different shapes, heights and create a corner in the room that enlightens the whole ambiance.

Pillows and blankets in pastel colors are the perfect accessories to make your guest room feel welcoming for your friends. Pastel colors in combination with wool to comfort you through the cold winter evenings. Specially a touch of this is what we will need this year, even more than other years seen we are much more just by ourselves and miss the human interaction.

And now imagine a nice dessert, no better way to present it as on a beautiful pastel plate. But attention here as a pink plate will make you crave for more sugar.

You can never go wrong with pastel colors for the nursery. Specially those grayish pastel colors will bring more style to this room and are less predictable than the traditional soft pink and light blue. They add something poetic and nostalgic to the room. You can also keep those colors till they will be in their teens, so no need to change every two or three years the design of their room.
