Pastel is quiet and calm. She doesn't speak, but whispers. Pastel colors are unobtrusive and tireless. They don't irritate, don't cause anxiety, don't make you nervous. That is why they are often used where mental comfort is needed - for example, in clinics, psychologists' offices, spa salons, etc. Pastel colors are also popular for residential interiors. It is very easy to create with pastels - there is practically no risk in working with it.
Pastel colors - what are they?
Pastels include a family of light shades with low saturation. They are “velvety”, as if powdered or sprinkled with flour.
The fact is that initially pastels were called pressed from powder paints crayons. The same term was assigned to drawings made with crayons. The paints on them are quite light, with a “powder” texture.
Every chromatic color has a pastel version. To create it you need to mix the base paint with white or pale yellow. A pastel version of purple is or pale lavender, green is mint, orange is peach, red is light pink or light coral.
Advantages of pastel colors
1. Pastel aura calms and relaxes a person. If you want to turn your home into a quiet haven that promotes relaxation, choose these colors for your interiors.
2. Pastel is almost “characterless”. Due to the low content of the chromatic component, the temperament and character of color are noticeably smoothed out. For example, blue walls make the room gloomy and cold, while pastel blue on the walls only slightly refreshes it. With a predominance of red, the interior looks scalding hot and stuffy, and with pale coral or light pink, a moderate “temperature” reigns in it.
3. Pastel is weak. She does not press or squeeze in her arms, but softly and tenderly envelops. Therefore, it can be used in large quantities without fear - for example, to decorate all the walls of a room.
4. Different pastel colors go well together. Few people would dare to mix, for example, red, green and purple in one interior. With pastel versions, everything is much simpler: the combination of pale pink, lavender and mint will not be harsh, nor flashy, nor exciting. The interior will be quite calm and balanced.
5. Pastels are refreshing. These shades belong to the spring range - associated with purity and youth, they evoke a feeling of lightness and airiness. Do you want to bring spring into your home? Give preference to a pastel palette.
1. Pastel background
As already mentioned, light powdery tones lose a significant share of the properties that are inherent in the main color. That's why they are so good as a color base. In this they compete with neutral tones (white, beige, gray), often used to create a background.
With a pastel background, the interior can be monochrome, consisting of shades of the same color of different saturation.
2. Mix of pastel colors
All shades of this kind combine perfectly with each other. You can combine them in the interior in any way. For example, in painting walls in blocks (using the “color blocking” method) or in grouping multi-colored pillows on the sofa.
Pastel multi-colors are much safer and more pleasing to the eye than mixing rich tones.
3. Pastel accents
Yes, elements of not only deep, but also muted colors can serve as bright touches. True, the range of their application is limited - pastel accents “work”, as a rule, only in neutral interiors.
4. Pastel furniture
Furniture in soft spring tones looks light, sometimes even weightless. It doesn't overload the space. This makes her ideal solution for small rooms.
Pastel furniture brings lightness and spring freshness to the interior.
This is also a great solution for interiors in a retro style, because light powdery tones were very popular in the middle of the last century.
By the way! Most often, pastel shades in the interior are combined with very light, sometimes subtle variations of gray, beige, gray-beige.

Curtains, paintings and other interior items in pastel colors
A variety of accessories in pastel colors will help make the interior unusual and expressive. To make the space look harmonious, designers recommend choosing interior items in colors of the same saturation. These may be different color shades, but the degree of brightness of the tone should be the same.
The curtains in the room must withstand general style and match the color scheme with other interior items or furniture upholstery. If the room design uses glossy surfaces, then for curtains it would be logical to choose fabric with a metallic sheen or organza. For matte shades, curtains with a rough texture are suitable.
For wall decor, you can choose one or a collage of several paintings, painted in pastels or watercolors. The main nuance when choosing is to exclude clearly drawn details and small elements. The drawing should be blurry, with large, careless strokes. It’s good if the texture of the frame repeats the texture of one of the interior elements.
