Pastels

Soft, chalky color runs through these scenes of coastlines, gardens and quiet countryside, with hazy skies and gentle light rather than sharp contrast. Water, cliffs, trees and open fields recur, giving a relaxed, airy mood throughout. The blush, sage and pale blue tones sit lightly on white or cream walls, suiting a living room, spa, or hotel guest room.
