Pastels aren't going anywhere. They're an easy way to make a room feel lighter, brighter and more inviting without committing to bold colour.
Albany is Brewers Decorator Centres' exclusive brand and whether you're decorating one wall or refreshing the whole room, their view is that soft shades are surprisingly versatile. Pastels work with natural materials, suit almost every style of home and are easy to live with year after year.
Albany has revealed the seven favourites that prove pale doesn't have to mean boring and if you want to decorate and save, why not get a Brewers DIY card? You can save 10 per cent on your first and second purchases.
Amblecote
If you like warm neutrals, start here. Amblecote takes its inspiration from clay, sand and natural stone to create a soft blush that feels calm without looking washed out. It's a great choice if you're moving away from cool greys but still want something timeless. Pair it with warm woods, natural textures and off-whites for a relaxed look that won't date.
Butter
Sometimes all a room needs is a little warmth. Butter does exactly that. This soft yellow catches the light beautifully and can help darker rooms feel brighter throughout the day. It's cheerful without being overpowering, making it a great choice for kitchens, hallways or anywhere that could do with a lift. Keep the rest of the room simple with crisp whites and pale timber furniture.
Claverton
Want to introduce colour but don’t know where to start? Claverton is one of those shades that works almost anywhere. Its earthy tone adds depth without taking over the room, making it ideal if you want something a little different from white or beige while keeping the overall look calm and understated.
Cornish Cloud
Blue has always been a favourite for bedrooms and bathrooms, and Cornish Cloud show why. Light, fresh and easy to style, it creates a relaxed feel that never looks cold. Pair it with soft linens, natural textures and brushed brass accessories for a room that's easy to switch off in.
Oyster
Good neutrals never go out of style. Oyster is warm enough to make a room feel welcoming while staying light enough to work in almost any space. It layers beautifully with timber, stone and textured fabrics, making it a reliable choice whether you're decorating a kitchen, living room or hallway.
Seaford
If you like bringing the outdoors in, try Seaford. This gentle sage green takes its cues from rolling countryside and coastal landscapes, adding just enough colour to freshen up a space while keeping everything feeling balanced. Team it with natural wood, woven textures and plenty of plants to complete the look.
Twilight Sleep
Some colours help you slow the pace. Twilight Sleep blends soft blue with muted grey to create a peaceful backdrop that's ideal for bedrooms and quiet corners of the home. It's subtle, versatile and easy to pair with everything from crisp white bedding to darker wood furniture.
Find a pastel that feels right at home
The best thing about pastels is how easy they are to use. They bring colour into your home without dominating the space, making rooms feel brighter, calmer and ready for everyday life.
