Muted pastels: 5 beautiful buys
Furniture and accessories in pale hues
Pastels are on trend this season, but the latest powdery hues are a far cry from the sugary ice-cream colours of old. Think muted gelato rather than bright candy-floss pink or baby blue. With their quiet charm, these new modern shades offer understated sophistication for those looking to bring a gentle pop of colour to their home.
