—Pastel pop interiors: 3 ways to get the look

Bring the joyful feeling of summer into your home with a vibrant pastel palette, curved accents and calming, natural textures.

Brighten up the living room with accent colours, reminiscent of a summer carnival. Ground the room with white walls and a modern light grey sofa. Accessorise with a bright palette such as mustard yellow, watermelon pink and bold orange. Layer cushions in a variety of soft, calming shapes and choose abstract floral artwork. Opt for patterns in whimsical florals or candy cane stripes.

Jazz up the dining room with a painted arch as the focal point. Incorporate this design trend with a bold yellow hue. Complement the yellow backdrop with a round oak and glass dining table. Choose a rattan pendant light to highlight the curved details of the room. Tie the look together with a fresh floral bouquet.

Create a summery vibe in the bedroom with soft pink and sunny yellow. Make a statement with pink fluted wall panels. Set the tone for relaxation with a grey fabric bed and layer with cotton or linen textures. Bring in pops of mustard yellow through artwork or with throws and cushions. Play up the curved accents through pieces like a wooden light fixture, mushroom lamp and decorative vases.
