Push for pastels this summer

The 2023 Golden Globe fashionistas on the red carpet were a sea of different shades of pink, light purples, and baby blues, and where fashion leads, interior tend to follow.

Sonas, Ireland’s leading bathroom brand, has seen a significant rise in the popularity of pastel bathroom products over the past year and here are some of the reasons why.

Pastel colours, such as soft blues and pinks, can make a space feel brighter and more spacious. This is particularly beneficial in smaller bathrooms where one often wants to visually expand the place, making it larger and more open. And with image sharing and social media service Pinterest reporting a 190% month on month increase in searches for “small bathroom remodel” in January, Sonas predicts the popularity of pastels to increase even further.

According to the experts at Sonas, pastel pink is a colour that brings a touch of warmth and glamour to a room. Pale blues are also popular, bringing light and airiness, particularly well-suited for smaller spaces. With calm blue seen as a real colour for wellness, check out the Sonas Scandinavian furniture range in Morning Sky Blue. For those who would like to bring some feminine energy into their space, the Cashmere Pink options are stunning.

As more people see the bathroom as their sanctuary, pastel hues, being associated with tranquillity and relaxation, fit that design aesthetic perfectly. Soft tones can help create a calming ambiance in the bathroom, promoting a sense of peace and serenity, which can be especially desirable in a space where people often unwind.

Other advantages include the timeless quality associated with pastel colours, making them a versatile choice that can withstand changing trends. Unlike bold or dramatic colours that may go out of style more quickly, pastels have enduring appeal, ensuring that your bathroom remains visually appealing for years to come.

Pastel shades are also easy to coordinate with other colours and finishes, including coordinating colours, black, metallic accents, and as they reflect more light compared to darker shades, they can help to brighten the bathroom naturally. Overall, incorporating pastel shades into a bathroom design can contribute to a bright, calming, and visually appealing space that stands the test of time. For more see sonasbathrooms.com.
