Pastel Takeover 2025: The New Neutrals That Make Your Room Pop
Move over, beige! 2025 belongs to pastels. From butter yellow and pistachio green to soft lavender and cloud blue, these airy shades are stepping in as the new neutrals. This year’s pastel palette is all about soft, sweet tones with a bold, grown-up edge, adding dimension without overpowering.
No longer limited to nurseries or spring décor, pastels have evolved into timeless hues for every season and space. Whether you’re layering lilac across throw pillows or dressing your bed in blush, they bring a refreshing lightness that feels both calming and confident. That’s why they’re dominating bedroom and home trends in 2025, versatile, easy on the eyes, and instantly fresh.
Here’s how to bring the pastel palette into your home in 2025 and why you should.
1. Pastel Bedding That Sets the Mood
Pastel bedding is the perfect entry point into this 2025 color trend. It’s soft, serene, and instantly transforms the vibe of your room. Whether you gravitate toward blush pink, powder blue, pistachio green, or even lemon sorbet, choosing pastel-colored bedding is a gentle way to make a statement without overwhelming your space.
Everlasting’s Baby Blue Polka silky bedding set and Sunset Peach Cotton Duvet are prime examples of how pastels can set the tone light, breathable, and full of airy charm. Pair these with white or cream base sheets and layer in neutral or tone-on-tone pillowcases for an effortlessly chic setup.
What makes pastel bedding so powerful is its calming energy. These colors invite rest and relaxation, making them ideal for a bedroom sanctuary. Try incorporating subtle details - like scalloped edges or embroidered textures - to elevate the look while keeping it cohesive, and don’t shy away from combining more than one pastel. A soft lilac throw over a sky blue duvet brings depth while keeping things harmonious.
Let your bedding lead the pastel takeover; it’s where style meets comfort and where this trend truly shines. Try Everlasting’s Cloud Blue Waffle Quilt Set or Sunset Peach Cotton Duvet for a pastel base that doesn’t feel too sweet. Mix in neutral sheets and solid pillowcases to keep the look elevated.

2. Accent Furniture with Subtle Color
Accent furniture is where pastels can surprise you the most. Rather than a room filled with stark neutrals or dark wood, 2025 is all about pastel-infused personality. Think powder-coated pastel nightstands, a muted lavender armchair, or a soft mint bench at the foot of your bed. These subtle yet striking pieces bring life into your space while still aligning with a calm, airy atmosphere.
- Everlasting’s Seafoam Velvet Accent Stool or the Blush Scallop-Edged Side Table are perfect examples of how pastel furniture can be functional and fashionable. Not only do they bring softness and warmth, but they also act as unexpected statement pieces.
- To keep your space balanced, pair pastel furniture with warm wood tones, woven textures, or neutral upholstery. Clean lines and minimal silhouettes help the pastels feel refined rather than juvenile, and let the soft colors truly pop.
Whether it’s a pale pistachio dresser or a peach-toned reading chair, these accent pieces prove that pastels are more than just background color. They’re the new design heroes.. These pieces add personality without overwhelming. Balance the color with warm wood tones and clean lines.

3. Use Pastels to Layer Texture
Layering texture is one of the most effective ways to keep a room visually interesting, and when you add pastels into the mix, the result is soft sophistication. Using pastel-colored textures like waffle knits, gentle ruffles, or smooth matte finishes adds dimension while still keeping the overall look light and airy.
Try Everlasting’s Butter Yellow Ruffle Pillow Covers and Lilac Knit Fringe Throw to bring this effect to life. These pieces offer tactile charm with a whisper of color, helping your space feel cozy without feeling crowded. Incorporate other pastel textures like boucle stools, velvet poufs, or a cloud-toned rug to enhance depth and comfort.
What makes pastel layering so versatile is how well these tones blend together. You can pile on different pastel shades without it feeling chaotic. Stick to soft finishes and curved silhouettes to keep the energy calm and cohesive.
When done right, pastel texture layering creates a space that feels fresh and full of personality; soft to the eye, soothing to the touch, and right on trend for 2025. We love Everlasting’s Butter Yellow Ruffle Pillow Covers and Lilac Knit Fringe Throw: soft, playful, and full of charm.

4. Mix and Match Your Pastels
1. One of the most exciting things about the pastel trend is how well these colors work together. Don’t be afraid to mix and match! Pair blush pink with powder blue, or pistachio green with a soft lavender. When kept within the same saturation level, pastels complement rather than compete.
2. To avoid the look becoming too saccharine, balance your pastel mix with natural materials and textures. Cane, rattan, and washed linen act as grounding elements that add warmth and contrast without stealing the spotlight. Everlasting’s Rose Linen Throw , Mint Scallop Quilt , and Sky Blue Bolster Pillow can be combined for a layered look that’s fresh, modern, and totally on trend.
3. Another tip? Stick with a loose color palette and repeat key tones throughout the room. This keeps your pastel choices feeling intentional, not random. A blush-toned chair echoed in a framed art print or a pale yellow cushion repeated in a bedside vase helps tie everything together.
4. With thoughtful placement and the proper tone matching, your pastel mix will become a playful, inviting expression of personal style bold in its softness and delightfully unexpected. Pastels pair beautifully when kept in a similar saturation. Keep the undertones soft, and ground the space with natural materials like cane, rattan, and washed linen for a look that’s fresh, not fussy.

5. Pastel Lighting = Instant Glow-Up
Lighting is often the final touch in a room, and it’s a powerful way to tie in your pastel palette while adding mood and charm. Instead of traditional white lamps or industrial finishes, opt for pastel lighting that feels playful yet refined. Think Frosted Lavender Globe Lamps , Blush Ceramic Table Lights , or a Mint Green Paper Lantern Pendant each adds a soft, stylish glow.
Everlasting’s Daisy Pink Ceramic Lamp and Sky Blue Glass Dome Light are perfect choices for a bedroom or reading nook. These functional art pieces do double duty: they brighten your space and infuse it with personality.
Use pastel lighting as accents that echo other elements in your room, maybe your lamp matches your quilt or complements your wall art. Layer lighting at different heights with wall sconces, table lamps, and pendant fixtures for warmth and visual interest.
Pastel lighting isn’t just trendy, it’s transformative. It softens the atmosphere, amplifies your style, and makes every corner of your room feel curated and cohesive. that double as art. These delicate pops of color create ambiance while tying together the whole look.
