You’d think we’d start with wall colors or furniture but we rather talk first about decor, because you can easily bring that tranquility and comfort into your living room through pastel colors in decor, such as decorative pillows on your sofa, jars for your plants, shelves on the walls, or even art. It’s a great way to start if you wish to slowly bring pastel colors into your home, or if you just wish to get a little subtle taste of it.

Don’t forget to complement your pastel furniture and wall decor with a good lighting piece. You can easily go for golden hues found in the brass of lighting pieces, and that will certainly pair up perfectly with the rest of your living room decor. Pastel colors and gold go hand in hand. And so does marble, so don’t be afraid to use a small coffee table with a marble effect.
