Pastels & Florals: A Refreshing Reboot for Your Home
Does your home require a refresh? Has the aesthetic of your furniture become outdated? Dara O'Reilly Daly, Interiors Expert and Marketing Manager at Meubles can help you revitalise your space with the timeless combination of pastels and florals.
"Pastels and florals can introduce a sense of serenity and lightness to your home," explains Dara. "They offer a welcome departure from the mundane, perfect for reviving a tired interior."
Dara unveils her expert advice on incorporating pastels and florals to breathe new life into your home.
Daras Tips
- Subtle Palette, Statement Piece: Move beyond the predictable pinks and lavenders. Pastels offer a wide range of calming greens, serene blues, and soft yellows. Consider using a bolder pastel as an accent wall or on a statement furniture piece.
- Masterful Mix & Match: Embrace the versatility of pastels by combining different hues. Experiment with complementary shades like lilac and lavender or add a touch of whimsy with mint green and a pop of coral.
- Florals Evolved: Floral prints can add elegance or a touch of playfulness, depending on your preference. Large-scale botanical prints on throws or ottomans can make a bold statement, while floral cushions or a delicate lampshade offer a more subtle approach.
- Pattern Power: Don't limit yourself to florals! Stripes, polka dots, and geometrics can add depth and visual interest. Imagine a striped rug grounding a floral armchair, or a geometric throw softening a floral sofa. The Lexington Storage Ottoman is an excellent wqy to being in a pattern without overwhelming the room! Add a Biederlack Geometric Throw and you have a stunning, visually intresting addition to the room!
- Embrace Natural Light: Natural light is essential when working with pastels and florals. Open your curtains and allow sunlight to bathe your space in a warm glow. If natural light is limited, strategically placed lamps with warm white bulbs can create a similarly inviting atmosphere.
- Botanical Accents: Fresh flowers are a classic choice, but there's more to explore! Bring the outdoors in with botanical prints, organic shaped vases, or nature-themed objects.
- The Greenery Element: Houseplants are a fantastic way to add life (to your pastel and floral haven. Low-maintenance options like snake plants, ferns, and spider plants will bring a pop of colour and a touch of tranquillity to your space.
By following these tips from Dara, you can transform your home into a serene and stylish haven. Remember, when working with pastels and florals, the key is to experiment and find a balance that reflects your personal taste. Let your creativity guide you and watch your home blossom into a renewed and inviting space.
