Pastels for calmness.

The word "Pastel" originated in the 18th century and was an art medium used by artists such as Edouard Manet. The pastel colours are characterised by a 'soft', 'washed out' 'soothing' feel.  Pastels were widely used in the 80's extensively in Interior design and fashion. This is slowly being adopted in the modern design to create a calming effect in any space in the house.

a) In a Nook


A lounge nook is a perfect place to to have all sorts of activities e.g a meet and greet tea, reading etc. With a bay window and loose seats, this area is very comfy and private.

b) In the Lounge Area


The lounge area is the center of the home where guests and the family largely interract. A calm look and feel at this area immensly affects the mood of the home.

3. The bedroom

The bedroom is a place of rest, a place where we wake up and plan the day and also the place where we revert to and think about how the day has been. A calm environment affects how our day will start and how it ends.
