Pastels: Pink, Purple, and Tangerine for Spring

Sunday, February 26, 2012

I love tangerine as the new color, but I'm really surprised at myself for liking all of the pastel rooms that are being seen lately.  I would have said no pastels for me, ever, but I actually like quite a few of these.  I know everyone has seen the popular orange rooms by now, but I wanted to include a few of my favorites because to me they seem to go along with the other spring colors:

I just love that first tangerine room and I think it works so well since everything else was kept so neutral it’s stunning! Anything with orange in it gets my attention. I’m like you I’m not a pastel person but you’ve found some beautiful images.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Beautiful rooms and I find myself drawn to the tangerine one and wouldn't think I would've been.

Such fresh and pretty springtime rooms! I'm really drawn to the pops of tangerine these days - they just add a bit of happiness to rooms!

OK..dating myself again...My first colors that I used in my decor was rust, cream, and blue...so 70's and I love the resurgence of the tangerine, even though I cannot personally use that color now..but love it..such a happy color...

Stacy, I adore all the new colors. The image with the green wallpaper is one of my favorites.

I am definitely ready for a dose of color - counting down the days until Spring! And, what I'm learning is that any color can be fabulous with the right fabrics, furniture and expert hand. It's all in the mix!

Stacey-
I'm with you on the pastels. I have always loved a very pale blue, but I love the tangerine and lavender too. Maybe it takes me back to my childhood!
Thank you for always sharing such gorgeous images.

Love that powder blue bedroom- it is very Spring!

Stacy, I love these rooms! I know why you like the pastels - most of them are really versions of white rooms with just the tints of colours added to keep them from being all white. I can't tell you how many of these I pinned!
Hugs, Cluny

I usually love some bold contrast in a room, but grayed down pastels can be so lovely. These are some great examples!

Hi Stacy...definitely love pastels, wear them a lot but have never used any of these colors in my own home......though I am warming up to the idea after seeing this beautiful post!

Orange was my fav until I saw that lucious soft green!

I am loving the tangerine! I am not usually brave enough to use colors, but these beautiful images definitely inspiring me to venture out of my comfort zone.

I love that first room - mainly neutral with a pop of orange - just enough colour for me there! I've added orange accessories in my kitchen - pleased with the result!
