An explosion of colours to wake up your decor
Pastel decor brings joy and good mood: choose your palette, dare a few coloured walls and complete with a sofa and cushions.
If we had to describe pastel decoration, it is without a doubt joy and good mood that best characterise this trend. Its light and sparkling colours light up our interiors with their rainbow shades and create a fun and soothing atmosphere.
Choosing your pastel palette
Want to take your decor to a spring atmosphere? Choose the pastel palette that suits you: lavender, yellow, powder pink, celadon green, turquoise. Do not hesitate to mix shades for a "good vibes" pastel decor.

Walls, a sofa and cushions
Dare an assertive pastel look by painting some walls in soft shades, such as pastel yellow or pink. These delicate colours are a good way to make your interior glow and make it warmer.
You love pastel colours, but not everywhere? White and beige are safe, neutral choices, which adapt to all decorative choices. All that remains is to play with pastel on your furniture and decorative objects.
Speaking of furniture, coloured sofas have made a place for themselves in our interiors. They bring a lot of personality to the main room. So have fun creating a most joyful atmosphere in the living room, thanks to a colourful centrepiece. Add a few cushions that make you want to cocoon and let your interior soak up these sparkling and sunny shades.


The materials that go with pastel
Wood, metal, glass... Pastel decor goes with everything to bring spring into your home. Opt for walnut for a retro look, brass for a chicer style, or coloured furniture to embrace the pastel style all the way.
Be careful not to go "over the top" though! Break the marshmallow-sweet spirit of pastel by warming up the atmosphere with neutral and natural shades and mixing materials.
Trendy, spring-like decorative objects in pastel colours
White design objects, Dune barometer and thermometer, candles, floral posters and small coloured checks: the spring accessories in pastel.
Today, pastel shades are displayed without complexes on all decorative accessories. You will have no trouble finding the decorative gem to add to your interior to instil a delicate spring style.
Bright design objects to balance things out
For those who adopt a very present pastel look, it is better to favour bright design decorative objects, in white or beige for example, to bring a breath of fresh air to this colourful and dreamy little world.


A barometer and a thermometer for wall decor
When giving your interior a makeover, remember to select original objects for your wall decor. Spring is a gentle season, which makes you want to spend a lot of time outdoors. Unfortunately, rain and slightly cool temperatures can call our outdoor plans into question. To avoid being caught out by the rain, decorate your walls with a pretty barometer, which will indicate the weather trend of the day. An ally for your spring outings, but also for your decoration. The Dune barometer is ideal to complete your pastel decor: with its wooden frame and delicate off-white and beige shades, it will bring brightness and softness to your interior.

Do you like the style of this wall decorative object? Fall for the indoor thermometer from the same collection, to keep an eye on the temperature of your home: an essential tabletop decorative object. With such a delicate and colourful spring decoration, you are sure to turn up the heat and warm the atmosphere.
Candles, flower power and bouquets
Candles remain decor essentials and also come in pastel to bring a delicate touch of colour. In a jar or as tapers, fall for candles that will wake up your spring decor.
Flower power has made a strong entry into our interiors with the return of the 1970s. Invite this trend onto your walls with coloured floral posters and give in to the charm of a "petal" pendant lamp, to create a very poetic atmosphere, worthy of spring.


It is the season when nature blossoms, trees bud and flowers colour gardens and fields, but also interiors. Bring nature into your home by slipping in a few pretty bouquets of colourful flowers. Your decoration will not fail to celebrate the charm of spring.
The trend of small coloured checks
To perfect your pastel decor, do not miss the trend of small coloured checks. Available as tables, vases, candles, coasters... these checked decorative objects, plain or checkerboard, often in the shape of a cube, come in pretty pastel shades full of freshness, to colour our interiors and recall the much-sought-after spring spirit.

It is hard not to swoon over these comforting and delicate colours, which bring lightness and joy to everyday life. Long live spring!
