Pastel yellow is responsible for transmitting cozy and soft sensations to the environment, although it is a variation of a warm tone. It is possible to introduce it into the decoration in different ways, whether in the bedroom, in the living room, or in any other room.

5 tips for using pastel yellow in decoration

According to Marina Medeiros, from Drusa Arquitetura, pastel yellow does not need to be combined only with other colors of the palette: "When it is harmonized with a baby blue, for example, the environment becomes light and fun; with dark and analogous colors, such as terracotta, it creates a warm, but sober environment; the texture of light wood becomes a good ally for delicate environments", she explained.Check out more tips from the architect to add this color to your decor:

In the children's room

Pastel yellow is widely used in decorating children's rooms. The architect's tip is: "add the tone to the paint on the walls or in the cabinetry details, which have textures, such as light wood and shades of gray, creating a contemporary and delicate atmosphere.

Encouraging Creativity

"In spaces where children's activities will take place, such as a playroom, paintings and details in woodwork also fit in, but they can be associated with other colors in pastel shades, creating a playful and soft atmosphere," suggested the architect.

In the social area

In mature environments, pastel yellow is responsible for bringing a touch of joy. It can appear in furniture and accessories. The architect's suggestion is to produce a composition of pillows in shades of pastel yellow and terracotta. In sofas with more grayish neutral tones, this combination breaks a little with the overburdened seriousness of the environment.

In the details

A democratic option to decorate with pastel yellow, without running the risk of getting sick easily, is to add the tone to the details: "the color can be present in the upholstery of curved sofas and soft pouffes, bringing a fun air to the environment," added the professional.

To ensure durability

As it is a light color, pastel yellow requires some considerations to ensure that its durability in decoration is maintained: "avoid using it in high-traffic environments, whether on sofas or on carpets, where the circulation of people and pets is intense, as it is a color that shows more dirt or scratches. In these environments, it is best to abuse the composition in loose decoration elements",explains Medeiros.

The architect left an important tip for combining colors: "with warm and bright colors, the environment will be more agitated and dynamic, while the combination with cool colors, with green and blue backgrounds, will give the environment a calmer feeling". So, first of all, it is important to define the style of the decoration.
