In trend reports and design forecasts, pastels are slated to be big for 2012. Since we’re coming off of a few years of brights, jewel tones, and neons (and I’m sure we have a ton of these colors gracing our homes and closets), I think mixing in some pastels and toned down hues is so pretty.
I love the incorporation of pastels with brights in these spaces! You don’t have to get rid of the bright accessories you’ve been buying these last few years and replace everything with a pastel. A little mix and matching not only gets the trend across just beautifully, but actually makes the pastel stand out.
How are you feeling about this pretty pastel trend? How do you think you’ll incorporate it into your home?
Have a FABULOUS Thursday!

I love mixing of bright colors and pastels! Excited for this trend.
I love it! The more muted look is so soft and pretty, but I also love the idea of mixing it in with neons. So many options!
I like it! When I first saw your tweet, I thought I’d hate this trend (just pictured easter baskets and cutesy colors), but seeing the pastels layered in with vibrant hues adds an interesting dimension.
glad I convinced you!!
All of it is so fresh for the new year. Just perfect!
nice picture!

Oooh interesting! I hadn’t seen these mixes before. I really like it as you say, the pastel tones it down but looks super hip with a bright accent!
I love love love that first space! Dream home right there!
I love that first picture! I think it looks great with the bright tones mixed with all the white, it looks so sun-filled and clean. Good idea to mix brights and pastels, why shouldn’t the two co-exist? They’re a good balance to each other.
