House Beautiful and Elle Décor have predicted a pastel interior design palette for 2015, which will be sure to freshen up our homes after the dull winter months.

Pastel shades proved very popular back in the 80’s. Spring colours that were usually only seen once a year became popular in homes decor, fashion, make-up. These muted colours were extremely popular in interior design, and were also a favourite fashion trend in the ‘preppy crowd’ think Miami Vice jackets and collegiate cardigans thrown jauntily over the shoulders.

Pantone has described Spring 2015 colours as ‘en plein air’, with a move towards the cooler and softer side of the spectrum, including a selection of gentle pale pastels.  “Remembrances of retro delights, folkloric and floral art, and the magical worlds of tropical landscapes restore a sense of well-being as we head into warmer months.”  The Colour Compendium Collection from House of British Ceramic Tile has a huge spectrum of tiles to help you recreate these looks from Pale Aqua and Sky Blue to Orchid and Buttermilk.
