Pastel colours and retro go hand in hand. An awesome way to add pastel to your kitchen is to add some retro-style appliances. Many brands now offer stylishly vintage appliances such as toasters, coffee makers, blenders and even fridges in a range of colours. Creating a retro flow through the kitchen that works for you can really breathe new life into your space, and add to the space’s personality.

Whether you’re a coastal resident or want to bring some of the beach into the house, pastel blues teamed with whites and sandy browns will be your best friend. Even if you want to incorporate warmer pastels into your space, such as pinks and oranges, these can work. They all work well together, as they all complement each other naturally. Think of your space’s colours as paying homage to the rolling waves at sunset!

Muted yellows can work wonders to the right space. Adding a lick of pastel yellow paint to a space that doesn’t get much love from the sun can be a great light substitute. Yellows also work exceptionally well in spaces such as the bathroom and kitchen, giving your functional rooms a touch of warmth and homeliness.
