Pastels are enjoying an exciting comeback. Forget the sugary pinks of little girls' bedrooms today pastels pack plenty of personality. The best of the bunch have a rich intensity or a subtle sophistication keeping them the cool side of sweet. They allow you to fill your home with colour without splashing statement brights around & they bring a warmth & softness to a room. In Pretty Pastel Style stylist Selina Lake shows you how to use this truly versatile colour palette to create beautiful spaces that are feminine without being girlie; colour-rich without being garish. The book first walks you through the Elements of the look. Modern Pastels are contrasted with pops of stronger shades & sharpened with statement furniture. Vintage Pastels plunder the past taking from it smoky pinks faded greens & elegant patterns. Retro Pastels cheerfully channel the ice-cream shades of the Fifties on candy stripes polka dots & cute floral prints while Simple Pastels work with off-whites for an elegantly minimal take on pretty pastel style. Next Details looks at everything from furniture & lighting to display & decoration with inspiring ideas on how to piece the style together. Finally head to the Spaces section of the book to see beautiful rooms that have used pastels with super-stylish effect. ...
