A relic of the past or a trend of the present? 6 visual techniques for using muted shades in the interior

If someone tells you that the design of an apartment, made in pastel colors, is dull, boring and out of date, do not listen to it! Because only pastels are capable of refreshing the atmosphere in the blink of an eye, turning an apartment into a modern space, balancing the color palette in it, subtly highlighting the strengths of the entire interior ...

Good afternoon dear friends!

Not to mention the fact that they are able to harmoniously inscribe "details" that previously could not find themselves in your interior. Hide constructive flaws, which were previously striking at the first acquaintance with the space of the apartment. And, of course, transform your home environment into an oasis of tranquility and relaxation. But this is what we all need after a hard day's work.

In general, I will not beat around the bush, but I will introduce you 6 illustrative examples of stylish furnishings inspired by pastel colors.

1.Contrast symbiosis. There are many people who love to experiment and combine different interior styles in one space. So, this is a very real task, if only at the same time correctly use muted shades. That is, for example, you can combine a juicy retro mustard color with a Scandinavian pale blue tone.

The two colors will balance each other, making the blue tone almost white, and the mustard tone not so saturated.

2.Architectural delights. It is no secret that "old" details (moldings, stucco moldings, carved wooden panels) are quite difficult to fit into a modern interior. But what if you really want to? Arm yourself with pastel colors and shade them, for example, with a pale blue, pale yellow or caramel color.

You can also add furniture to the interior of a minimalistic look with simple laconic forms. This will allow you to soften the contrast of architectural delights in the setting.

3.A striking result. By the way, pastels can be a "strong" touch in the interior, but only if the rest of the surfaces are painted perfectly white. Cloudy blue, opal green, powdery pink, straw yellow look especially bright and unforgettable ...

You just need to competently find the line of contact of colors and shades, then the result will turn out to be stunning: for example, on a wall with an open doorway.

4.Vegetable touch. Can't decide on the color when updating the interior? No problem! Note the mint color. He is able not only to bring a fresh touch to the design of the room, but also to calm and relax you after a hard day at work. And to enhance the effect and make the interior more fashionable and modern, you can add a couple of indoor plants and flowers.

But keep in mind that mint is considered a moderately cold shade and is more suitable for rooms with windows facing south.

5.Alternative reception. Many do not want to use the usual gray color when painting the walls because of its not fashionable, "old"! And they are looking for an alternative to him! And there it is - pastel gray. It, unlike traditional gray, is slightly "washed" and contains a couple of shades of blue. As a result, it looks warmer and softer on the surface.

It is also easier to combine it with saturated shades from the chromatic circle: yellow, red, blue. That sometimes oh how necessary!

6.Design trick. By the way, if anyone did not know, but pastel colors are used not only on the walls. They also decorate the ceilings. And this is a good way to make tall rooms a little lower and therefore cozier and more comfortable. But here it is important to observe a couple of nuances.

Namely, the ceiling must be painted, for example, in a peach, pale purple or straw yellow tone. But make the walls and floor lighter - white or gray.
