This holiday season the design world is preparing to dive headfirst into a trend that promises to infuse homes with soft colours and a joyful holiday aesthetic.
A departure from the traditional red and green, a pastel palette for Christmas is breathing new life and a little North Pole magic into the design landscape.
“Pastel colours have an extraordinary ability to infuse serenity and joy into any space, making them the perfect choice to create an atmosphere of magic and enchantment during the holiday season,” say Becca Stern, creative director at colourful homewares brand, Mustard Made.
The Mustard pastel collection includes blush, lilac, sage, ocean and chalk, which can all be effortlessly integrated into ornaments, wreaths and table settings. The inspiration behind the reimaged holiday theme comes from these shades that evoke both celebration and peaceful festivities.
“2023 was perfectly pink with Barbiecore energy so this year it’s the pretty pinks and blush tones that will dominate pastel Christmas styling, complemented by champagne golds, lilac or sage green. This colour combination works fabulously with snow-flocked trees and some sparkle to make a beautifully fresh festive display.”
