Pastel shades are back – and with full force. If previously, minimalism dominated interiors with its palette of cool neutrals, now it's the turn of soft colors, such as butter yellow and baby blue, to stand out. Inspired by a retro aesthetic, these tones bring back lightness and add a touch of softness to contemporary décor. Whether in small details or large changes, this duo of pastel tones is ideal for renewing projects lightly, especially when combined with natural materials – like wood – that accentuate sophistication. Butter Yellow The butter yellow is a soft and sophisticated tone that balances the neutrality of beige with the liveliness of citrus yellow. This shade is ideal for those who want to add a touch of color to the projects without losing elegance. With its creamy and cozy visual texture, it can be incorporated into walls, upholstery, or small decorative objects to add warmth to the space. For a sophisticated and engaging effect, butter yellow can be combined with earthy tones. For a cleaner and more contemporary décor, bet on neutral palettes, like white, gray, and beige, ensuring a balanced visual. If the idea is to add a touch of boldness and personality, mixing butter yellow with contrasting tones, like navy blue or olive green, can bring a modern and vibrant effect. Baby Blue The baby blue is a soft and refreshing tone that conveys tranquility and lightness to the projects. Inspired by the clear sky and serene waters, the versatility of this pastel tone allows it to be used both in contemporary spaces and in more classic proposals. For a sophisticated project, baby blue – just like butter yellow – can be combined with neutral tones, like white, beige, and light gray, creating a clean and harmonious atmosphere. If the idea is to bring a more delicate and romantic air, baby blue harmonizes well with pink and lavender tones, creating a soft palette. In smaller spaces, its use on walls or furniture can visually expand the projects, bringing a sense of amplitude.
