Avoid the sugar-sweet overload of a pastel colour scheme by introducing some consistent background shades. Think strong neutrals, such as wood-look or slate-style
LVT or
laminates, while keeping a balance between light and dark shades. It’s an interior design technique that proves successful time and time again.
For example, if you are happy with your mint green kitchen cabinets but slightly less pleased with the neutral flooring, why not ramp up the contrast by introducing new, darker wood flooring? This will help your mint green cabinets to stand out as a striking pastel accent against the floors. Try some of the darker wood designs from
our luxury vinyl tile (LVT) collection for a beautiful, but hardwearing option.
It’s also worth remembering that your choice of flooring is likely going to stay in place for quite a while, so building-in flexibility with the remainder of your design scheme is a clever idea to increase the longevity of the floor.
Try transforming open shelves in a kitchen or a bathroom cabinet with a coat of paint. Even a small touch of a pastel tone will add style and uplift to an otherwise plain and neutral scheme. In the living and dining rooms you could consider adding a splash of pastel by introducing a pouffe or individual cushions.
