Favourite finds: Pastel perfection in home design

12 Nov 2025

Favourite Finds returns with another round of inspiration, this time celebrating the soft and soothing charm of pastels. From gentle blush pinks and creamy peaches to airy blues and muted mints, this month’s theme is all about embracing colour in its most calming form, just in time for the relaxing summer season.

Here’s our top product picks to create a home that feels effortlessly light and uplifting and that brings a touch of pastel perfection to every room.

Finished in a relaxed, pastel checked pattern, the Alfie Cushion from nood comes in soft pink, sage and sand. It’s great for laying on a sofa or bed and makes a statement without overpowering the room. These cushions are great for adding a soft touch of colour to neutral homes in Resene Merino or Resene Half Rice Cake, or pair them with complementary hues on walls or accessories in shades like Resene Quarter Lemon Grass or Resene Dust Storm.

Elevate your bedroom décor with the Resene Rhodes Duvet Cover Set, a perfect blend of pastel charm and timeless design. Crafted from yarn-dyed cotton in a classic gingham pattern, this set offers a subtle texture that complements any interior style. Pair it with other blue shades like Resene Breeze and Resene Nepal, or create a subtle contrast with blushing tones like Resene Ebb and Resene Urbane. 

This artwork, by Simon Stockley from endemicworld depicts a classic Morris Minor 1000, affectionately nicknamed the 'Morrie', driving through a field of pastel hued hydrangeas. It’s a gorgeous piece for any home, and would look particularly nice paired with dreamy hues like Resene Poet, Resene Pot Pourri, Resene Jet Stream and Resene Half Spindle.

Adding a pop of colour into your home, Ambrosia, in the shade Fern, is a beautifully designed sheer from Curtain Studio that really brings the outdoors in. Inspired by seasonal colours of soft pastel green tones, this design soothes the mind and brings a sense of rest and reflection. Pair this with classic whites like Resene Alabaster and Resene Black White, or gentle greens like Resene Swans Down and Resene Paris White.

Add a playful pop of colour to your outdoor setting with the Bonnie Round Dining Table in Rose Pink, a charming outdoor furniture table designed for alfresco living. Finished in a soft, blush-toned powder-coated iron, it brings a fun yet sophisticated touch to your space. Inspired by classic French provincial design with a modern twist, it features elegant scalloped edging and a curved base that adds visual charm. Pair it with the matching Bonnie dining chairs for a colourful and cohesive look that's perfect for summer entertaining. For complementary colours, on your home exterior, plant pots or other outdoor furniture, try Resene Quarter Spanish White, Resene Vanilla Ice, Resene Wax Flower and Resene Willow Brook.

With these timeless finds, your home can become a space you truly love and cherish. For more advice head to your local Resene ColorShop or Ask a Colour Resene Expert online for help with your home design.
