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.
