Pastel Bedroom Ideas: How to Style A Dreamy Look

Your bedroom is your own personal oasis and styling your oasis to evoke a homely ambience is key to creating a space that makes you feel relaxed in your home. One of our favourite ways to create a peaceful space is by using specific colour palettes. A pastel colour palette evokes an effortless dreamy aura that will instantly have you feeling at peace as soon as you enter your bedroom. This colour palette includes lighter toned colours that appear to be softer and less saturated than darker or more vivid shades. These colour tones radiate calmness and help to transform any room into a soothing sanctuary.

When we talk styling with this colour palette, we consider pastel bedroom ideas that involve the bedding as well as the home decor and window furnishings used. These elements come together to complement one another and further communicate a refreshing and peaceful style of bedroom decorating.

Your Bed As The Focal Point: Pastel Bedding

The styling of your bed plays an important role in establishing the decor theme of your bedroom. In every bedroom, the bed forms the base of your home styling. Choosing bed linen based on its colour and designs is key to creating a peaceful dreamscape in your bedroom.


Stylish Pastel-Toned Bed Sheets

Style your bed with gorgeous soft-toned bed sheets and set the mood for a serene sleeping sanctuary. Gorgeous, patterned sheets with pastel-coloured designs can bring an artistic charm to your bedding. Fold your quilt cover back to reveal the stunning designs. If you want your quilt cover to stand out, think about shopping for lighter, neutral-toned sheets to draw focus to the pastel tones of your quilt cover. For a cohesive bedding display, you can shop for complete sheet sets with coordinating fitted and flat sheets as well as the ideal number of pillowcases (depending on the selected size), so you are equipped with a matching sheet set for an instant update to your bedding.

Style Your Bed With The Perfect Pastel Quilt Cover

The quilt cover you choose sets the tone for your decor scheme. To create a serene ambience in your bedroom, consider shopping for a pastel quilt cover with colourful designs in lighter shades. Think calming blues, soft greens and joyful light pinks. These are classic pastel colour tones that when incorporated into your bedding exude peace.

Cosy Pastel Pillow Arrangements For Texture and Charm

Your pillow arrangement simply doesn't stop and start at your standard sleeping pillows. While these play a key role in your bedroom styling, you can use European pillows to create a layered arrangement that instantly appear to offer comfort. Shopping for European pillowcases in the same pastel colour tone as your bedding is a great way to complement your pastel quilt cover. Or, if you're wanting to add depth to your bedding, think about shopping for contrasting pastel colour tones to further promote the difference between the sizes of your pillows. The dimensional pastel pillow arrangement will have you wanting to sink among your pillowed haven for a dreamy escape.

Decorate Your Bedroom With Pastel Wall Art

One of the easiest ways to establish a specific bedroom decor scheme is with the use of wall art. All works of art are created with a specific colour palette in mind and are often used to bring an artistic charm to spaces. Shopping for pastel wall art with a soft colour palette will instantly elevate your bedroom. It allows for a showcase of both colour and light with the light bouncing off the calming hues of your chosen pieces. Wall art instantly draws the eyes and captures attention, so when featuring a pastel colour palette, it's the first indicator of a dreamy ambience in your bedroom.

Wall art isn't limited to framed paintings and canvases, our selection also expands to include plaques and hangings in peaceful neutral tones. Think serene white colour tones with a faded design for a natural yet pastel charm.

Pastel Bedroom Ideas: A Pop Of Enchanting Pastel Tones With Rugs

Nothing refreshes your space quite like a brand new rug. These decor pieces instantly bring a sense of calm to any space and when designed with a pastel colour tone help to create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. Rugs act as an additional layer of insulation and are designed to bring warmth to your space, so when boasting a calming pastel colour tone, they bring this warmth while brightening up your space.


Pastel colour tones are associated with feelings of happiness and joy. Featuring these colour tones on a large rug in the centre of your bedroom is a great way to anchor your space with a cheerful ambience. Rugs can also make your room appear to be much more spacious, adding dimension to your space to counter the effects of a confined, smaller bedroom. They can be used to distinguish sections of your room, making them perfect for creating reading or sitting corners for a serene sanctuary in your bedroom. If you're worried about your floor space, you can find smaller rugs that seamlessly integrate into any room, under your bed, desk or side table.

Pastel rugs are also a great idea for bringing a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral-toned bedroom. They effortlessly complement an existing neutral colour scheme due to their design and are often intended to be the focal point of some rooms. Shop for rugs with faded blue, pink or even green to bring that pastel charm to your bedroom.

Serene Window Furnishings For The Perfect Light Control and Pastel Touch

When we think of refreshing our bedroom styling, people of course most often consider their bedding arrangements and their home decor pieces, but your window furnishings also play a key role in creating a specific home decor theme. A dreamy decor style in particular is associated with soft colour tones and a bright and welcoming space. What better way to contribute to this lightness then by utilising natural light to illuminate your space. This is where your choice in curtains is important to consider. Blockout curtains block sunlight from entering your space, so it's best to avoid these when wanting to create an open, dreamy space. Instead, think about shopping for sheer curtains that allow natural light to filter through while still providing privacy for your bedroom. You can find sheer curtains in gorgeous light colour tones such as white, soft pink and blue. These effortlessly exude a pastel charm to refresh both your bedroom styling and your window furnishings.

Wanting the benefits of blockout curtains but the styling appeal of sheer curtains? Consider layering your curtains on a double curtain rod and get the best of both worlds with the brightening appeal of sheer curtains and the darkening function of blockout curtains when you need it.

You can even put your sewing skills to the test by making your very own curtains in your desired pastel colour tone. Choose from an incredible range of sheer curtain, blockout and canvas curtain fabrics. Check out our article on how to make curtains for more tips, tricks and guidance to help you bring a homemade touch to your window furnishings.
