I love pastels as they allow you to add colour to your\u00a0<a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\" title=\"homes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/home\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/home;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.01l0mw;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Home\" >home<\/a> but they are\u00a0understated and, in my opinion,\u00a0often more chic than bolder colours. Using pastels is a way to bring colour in without overpowering the <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/room\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/room;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.06ht1;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Room\" >room<\/a> or fighting for attention with another bold colour. Pastels give that sense of freshness and can transform your home from a warm winter style\u00a0to spring time\u00a0chic.<\/p>\n<p>So, with this in mind, I have chosen some of my top pastel buys on the high street at the moment. The best thing about pastels is that the items can often be used in the same room as the colours tend to naturally complement each other. Check out my top buys to get yourself some inspiration and give your home a spring makeover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Colour Dip Table, Notonthehighstreet, \u00a3140<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/normal_colour-dip-table.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6523 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/normal_colour-dip-table.jpg\" alt=\"normal_colour-dip-table\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/normal_colour-dip-table.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/normal_colour-dip-table-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/normal_colour-dip-table-206x206.jpg 206w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/normal_colour-dip-table-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/normal_colour-dip-table-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/normal_colour-dip-table-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/normal_colour-dip-table-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.notonthehighstreet.com\/thelittleboysroom\/product\/colour-dip-table\">Notonthehighstreet<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This little table is so cute and would look great in most rooms.
