Transform your home with these easy and pretty pastel pieces in Pantone’s colours of the year – a dusky Rose Quartz or calm Serenity Blue. Pastels can add personality, sophistication and colour to your living spaces if used right.

Here are three tips when choosing to use these light, playful tones in your home:

1. Keep it light
Complement pastel tones with white furnishings for a cosy, casual atmosphere.

2. Think out of the box
While the delicate hues are perfect for bedrooms, they’ll make kitchens and living rooms feel more peaceful and tranquil too.

3. Add greenery
Introduce plants or fresh blooms in complementary hues to add a vibrant contrast.
