Many people like the space and comfort of their home. The premises should be filled with sunlight, where everything is reminiscent of the warm season, and the atmosphere is conducive to proper rest.

Wall coverings in pastel shades can fit into any interior. Some people refuse them right away, thinking that this option is impractical and will soon become boring. Two popular myths can be easily dispelled.
Wallpaper is always subject to external influences, but today you can choose coatings that are durable. Moisture-resistant models are resistant to abrasions. They are not afraid of wet cleaning, after which the walls completely retain their attractive appearance.
And exotic shades won’t let you get bored: they haven’t become boring yet. Mint and pistachio with bright accents – fresh design solution. Light wallpaper in the interior can be used in different ways.
It is not necessary to completely decorate the walls using light-colored coatings. Models with large bright patterns will come to the rescue; they are used for alternation. It should be taken into account that a light background visually expands the space, while large images narrow the walls.
The right texture will add elegance to the products. The surface, rough to the touch, looks rich and unusual thanks to its gloss and pearlescent luster.
Light wallpaper improves the perception of the interior space of a room that is poorly lit. On the other hand, when there is too much light, the effect will be the opposite: due to the bright glare from the walls, the room will be uncomfortable.

A variety of accessories in pastel colors will help make the interior unusual and expressive. To make the space look harmonious, designers recommend choosing interior items in colors of the same saturation. These may be different color shades, but the degree of brightness of the tone should be the same.
The curtains in the room must withstand general style and match the color scheme with other interior items or furniture upholstery. If the room design uses glossy surfaces, then for curtains it would be logical to choose fabric with a metallic sheen or organza. For matte shades, curtains with a rough texture are suitable.
For wall decor, you can choose one or a collage of several paintings, painted in pastels or watercolors. The main nuance when choosing is to exclude clearly drawn details and small elements. The drawing should be blurry, with large, careless strokes. It’s good if the texture of the frame repeats the texture of one of the interior elements.

It is important to remember that any color is changeable and depends on the color combinations surrounding it: gray surrounded by a green background becomes lilac-pink, and red will become more saturated, green will take on gray shades and fade.
To neutralize this effect, you need to give this color the shade of the surrounding background. For example, greenish-gray surfaces against a green background appear pure gray and do not take on a pink tint. If an object has an outline, then the influence of the surrounding colored background on its color sharply decreases or disappears altogether. That's why artists use a frame when decorating their works: it separates the work from the background of the wall.
