Pastels Vs Bright Colors For Spring

Are you team pastels or team bright colors when it comes to refreshing your home for Spring?

Some folks like the softer, feminine hues of pastels, others prefer the bright almost neon and citrus hues for their spring décor.

Decorating for the seasons is a wonderful way to keep things fresh and interesting in your home. Just adding some colorful pillows, lamps, accessories and fresh flowers is enough to bring the look to life.

I put together some Polyvore boards to help you see the possibilities of accenting with color – whether pastels or brights.

Let’s start with the pastel board. Could you see these colors in your home?

  1. I think I’m more of a bright colors girl. Although the pastels in your examples are quite beautiful, the bright colors call to me.

  2. I’m not really a fan of too many bright colors, but those rooms look fabulous! The decor that I have for the Spring is mainly pastels. I love very light colors, but they do also look great when paired with some bright colors as well. :-)

  3. What lovely colors just in time for spring! They are incredible! I enjoy pastels as well although I go for the warmer colors in the autumn.

  4. I love all of the looks. I kind of like to mix it up a bit but have a hard time deciding which way to go. Need to repaint a few rooms and undecided on what to do. Love seeing your ideas.

  5. Beautiful photos. I just wonder how they keep there homes so fresh. Must not have dogs or kids. ;) I do love bright colors but tend to not use them in my own home.

  6. I had never thought of this before, funny I love pastels for my clothing but for my house I love the bold bright colors. I am just starting to decorate our home so I am on the hunt for Spring items.

  7. I love them all! I would likely end up choosing the lighter colors, just so as to not be overwhelmed, but…I don’t know…now that I’m thinking about it, my house could really use some pops of bright!

  8. I love the pops of color! My house is so NOT colorful. Grey walls – white trim – white accessories. I love it though. Our pops of color depends on the season and what holiday I have decorated for. However these pictures have me thinking twice! :)

  9. I really love the trunks in the first picture. I have been looking for some of those that would go great in our home.

  10. The bright colors work well here in Florida with all the sunshine. As for pastels, unfortunately, for decades we got an overdose of the “old” pastels … although they had nothing to do what what you’re presenting here! Lovely boards!

  11. In your samples I prefer the pastels. Otherwise I am more into the earthy colors for my own home. I believe it would be fun to decorate for the seasons.. I’ve never done that except for Christmas.. I’m putting it on my bucket list of things I want to do.
