107 HOT Patterns & Pastels It’s official: Homeowners are getting more adventurous with patterns and colours, and it’s leaning towards a more nature- inspired aesthetic. Think dreamy pastels such as the ocean’s light blues, a sunset’s soft pinks and sunny, subtle yellows that gel well together. The best part is, pastels are ideal in promoting a restful mood. Botanical patterns are also emerging strong as these leafy motifs give the impression of lush tranquillity. Another classic pattern is monochromatic accents which bring a strong and striking contrast. COLOUR SCHEME: Pastels not only add a lightweight and dreamy presence, it can add definition to the walls with the alternating colours. NAIL THE LOOK: Try on a full-blown mural for a jungalow style, where contemporary meets tropical jungle. KEY DESIGN NOTES: Tiles with monochromatic details carry an on-trend style and this stand- out look can better define an open-concept area from other zones.
