Strawberry House ♥s Pastel Colours - pretty vintage inspiration!

























We love love love pretty, soft and feminine pastel colours.

Mix creams and whites with lovely pale pink, peach, blue and green for a vintage look that is so pretty and incredibly easy to create!

Our hand painted range is the perfect starting point for this look - the chest of drawers looks stunning in any room, and can be accessorised any way you like - why not create a pretty floral arrangement from our large selection of silk flowers (not only are they beautiful but they are a perfect solution for hay fever sufferers!) or decorate with a gorgeous vintage style plate or jug.
