Use These 10 Pastel Pieces To Accent A Modern, Neutral Home

We all love a neutral color palette, but seeing just white, beige, or gray daily can get, well, a tad bit boring sometimes. The freshest and most modern way to jazz up a neutral room is to use pastel accents.

A dash of blush, melon, pistachio, robin’s-egg-blue, or aqua can do wonders in livening up an all-white or gray room, and are more subtle than using jarring brights. Here are some pieces you can use:

1. Visual storyteller Ito Kish just launched his latest collection for the Curated Home of Robinsons Department Store. The collection includes glamorous and highly textured pieces like these furry pillows in blush, gray, and pistachio.
