How to use pastels to create a beautiful nursery
Pastels are soft, desaturated colours that can convey a feeling of softness, tranquillity and harmony, while remaining delightfully playful. Perfect for a baby’s nursery!
How to style your pastels
Perfect Pastels
You can use differing pastel shades of the same colour to create a calming, serene and sophisticated nursery aesthetic. You can use beige or grey as a base for the room, and you can add varying textures to create contrast.
Playful Pastels
Pastels share the same undertones, making them the ultimate ready-made colour combo. This means you can throw them together in a whimsical way to create a playful yet still serene nursery environment.
