Soft pastel color combos still going strong

This is a repost from summer 2012 - when the current trend with soft pink shades first appeared. Not especially Wabi Sabi, but a great color to add to a natural home. How is it in your home? Have you added any soft pink yet? Or maybe you've always been a fan? 
Muted pastels, much like the ones that were in fashion during the 18 century (see below), are really hot now. I've always seen these pale shades as a thing for bridesmaid's dresses. But now, soft pastels are everywhere. Here a few examples from the pink-peach-pale orange pastel range. Any favourites? 


Våren 2012 är 1700-talets mjuka pasteller det trendigaste du kan välja. Här har jag valt att visa några nyanser som går åt rosa. Alltifrån persika till kallare ljuslila. Kanske ett alternativ till klassiskt svenskt sommarblått i stugan? 







Genom att adderar ljus terracotta/koppar till rosa undviker du en alltför stark flickrumseffekt: 





Satsar på persika och terrakotta mot grått eller rött, blir stilen än mer vuxen. Lycka till med dina nya pasteller!
