To celebrate the joys of Spring we take a look at the very specific pastel colour palette that has become synonymous with this time of year – symbolizing positivity and new life. Spring is also the perfect time for a redecoration project so let’s take some inspiration from our favourite pastel coloured film sets.

Pastel Green

Pastel green reminds us of new growth, green grass and if you’re a film fanatic – the walls of the children’s party in The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Pastel Pinks

Pastel pinks symbolize joy, blossom, fresh beginnings and playfulness – and if you’re a film and furniture fan – the film set of Hail Caeser!, Napoleon Solo’s bathroom carpet in the original 60s Man From Uncle episode The Spy With My Face (1965), the perfect pink Saarinen Womb chairs in Down With Love and of course, Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Pink home decor inspiration

Pastel blues and lavender

Pastel blues and lavenders reminds us of clear blue skies, spring fresh water, birds eggs and – if your a set decoration devotee – the beautifully executed film sets of the Black Mirror episode Nosedive (five app stars from us for Production Design) and the kitchen cupboard doors in Paddington.
