Enough has been said about soothing blues for a relaxing atmosphere. Maybe it’s time we widen our horizons. While the blue tones will always stand tall in the world of relaxing home design spaces, there are other interesting shades, inching their way in.
Designers who have made their mark in the world of color and design have some interesting ideas to share. And who are we to argue? One thing is for sure, this is going to be an interesting ride into the world of calming colors. So, fasten your seat belts, and let’s go!
Color Pick One- Pink
Who would have thought pink would push its way into the realm of soothing shades? However, experts advise you to play with muted pinks and not sharp shades. Dull pink is a warm color with touches of brown as the base. And that brush of brown is what works in its favor. The sugary-sweet bubble gum pink can be nauseating after a while, and muted pinks are the perfect balancing act.

Blue shades with a hint of purple are trending and may appeal to your sense of style.
