Also known as pastel tones , candy colors have high luminosity and low saturation. This allows them to make great combinations with each other and are also great allies in bringing tranquility even in environments with darker or neutral tones. Candy tones are extremely versatile and can be used in different areas of the house, from large walls to specific objects. Check out 5 tips below for including pastel colors in your decor in an elegant and balanced way.

1. Concentrate the color on one piece of furniture
