Guest Post: Pastel Interiors

Hi all! It's Mari, from Design Shuffle, a terrific social networking site for interior designers, professionals and design enthusiasts, to upload their work and receive lots of exposure. As a writer for Design Shuffle, I often get to visit lovely blogs like Nostalgic Senses to share some of my favorite interior design and decorating ideas. Today's guest post is about pastels in interior spaces. Whether you choose a single pastel to envelope a room or a lovely mix of pale greens, pinks, blues and lilacs, these soft shades can impart a beautiful feminine appeal. I hope you will enjoy and be inspired by the eight pastel beauties I've brought with me today.

Contemporary and charming are not often used together to describe an interior space, but charming is the perfect adjective for this lovely mix of pastels. I'm taken with the flower strewn rug and its array of black and white patterns.

What a pretty pastel palette was chosen for this happy chic living space. I especially love the sunny yellow of the warm and cozy throw.

Ultra contemporary and all pastel, this living room is at once inviting and elegant. Turquoise fur and metal plant sculpture vie for the center of attention here.

Looking for bathroom designs done in pastels? Then, you might consider a pale blue as seen in the lovely wallpaper used in this powder room.

A beautiful soft lilac makes for an appealing pastel on this upholstered bed with ornate wood. I love the contrast of styles between the bed and the little modern rocker.

This contemporary dining space is all dressed for dinner in a beautiful mix of pinks and lilacs. The long sleek table is amazing, as is the glass raindrop pendant hanging above.

Pastels are rarely seen in kitchen designs, especially in gas ranges. This unexpected powdery blue stove is definitely the focal point in a pure white kitchen뾱o gorgeous
