- Comments Off on Guest Picks: A Pale Color Palette to Quiet the Senses
In the buzzing, active world we live in, a little quieting goes a very long way. I’m finding myself attracted to pale colors these days, and I’ve selected a few goodies that I feel nurture the feeling of calm most of us crave in the conclusion of a very long and busy day. In the ideal light interior, I would put together calming hues, soft textures and intriguing art. Surround yourself with unusual pieces and you’ll see pale doesn’t have to mean bland pastels and girlish bedrooms. — Barbara from Elza B Design
