13 Pastel Living Room Ideas You’ll Want To Recreate

We're never sure exactly which colours the old adage refers to, but this set up proves that pink and green should definitely be seen together.

Pair two pastel shades together and the effect is unexpectedly maximalist (without leaving you with a headache).

Forget magnolia, a lick of pale blue paint can help smaller rooms feel light and airy (plus, here's proof that it makes a very Instagram friendly backdrop for botanicals)

Time to add a pastel-hued scallop seat to the top of your interiors wishlist.

Shop around for accent accessories or prints in colours that subtly echo that of your statement piece of furniture.

This cornflower shade makes a striking backdrop for a gallery wall, with pastel blue accents popping up in the picture selection, too.

Yet more proof that pink and green is the dreamiest of colour combinations. Here, a pale backdrop keeps the deep olive sofa from feeling too heavy or old fashioned.

Balance out a dramatic print (like this statement-making marbled wallpaper) with simple, clean lines for furniture and lighting.

As great as pastel on pastel looks, don't be afraid of pairing lighter shades with bolder pieces like this yellow chair.

If a classic velvet sofa feels too traditional for your space, look out for pastel sofas in modern shapes like this one.

Metallic accents stand out against a millennial pink backdrop.

We can't all live in a pink palazzo, but we can dream__ of recreating these dappled walls...
