If you’re friends with us on Instagram, you’re well aware of our obsession with the Danish pastel aesthetic. This design trend is all about pale yellows and pink, lavender, and minty greens layered over crisp white walls and grey furniture for a cozy yet clean vibe. It’s the perfect middle point between minimalism and maximalism (is midamilism a thing? it is now…), as it allows you to get creative with color and quirky accessories, without feeling cluttered or chaotic. Art is messy, but this trend also creates calm.
Today we’re sharing our favorite interior-related IG saves featuring this coveted look, from actual Denmark homes to decor around the globe that emulates it.
