There’s just something about this pastel hued home that I’m really liking. I came across it in uber photographer Simon Watson’s portfolio. When I usually think of pastels in home decor, I think of that shabby chic look or something too frou frou and frilly for me…well this home has changed my view on that!
Lavenders, blues and the palest of pinks in the living room. Then there is a soft sea foam green blue used in the dining room and den. Hmmm…these are definitely pastel colors but read as neutrals in my view.
Modern and sophisticated. Not a lot of fuss. Fuss-less is important here I think when using such potentially fussy colors. Simplicity is key.

What to do you think of this decor ode to pastels? Like or dislike? Any of these colors you might use in your home or anything you would absolutely never use? Do tell!
Happy Tuesday!

I love, love, love the pastels as a backdrop for that beautiful blue sofa! I wouldn’t use them in my own home though. The light from the sun is too strong here in South Texas for them to even show up as color. If they do it like these pics, those who live further north can get away with it.
Pretty incredible pics!
I think these rooms are beautiful. They do not “feel” like pastel rooms. The textural furniture such as the velvet couch and the leather bring “warmth” to these rooms. I would love all of them.
The design featured here is beautiful, but who lives here?? It feels like a show house, not an actual lived-in home 🙁
The dip-dyed curtains are to die for!
Beautiful pic’s but what would you do if you tired of teal?
Love your pillows btw – do you /will you ship to Canada?
Wow…..just wow. In total awe of these gorgeous rooms!
It creates a soothing feel that’s for sure. I would miss those strong pops of color I like though. http://inmycabinet.blogspot.com

any idea where this coffee table is from?
