Pale blues must be the most popular shade to decorate with after neutrals and – currently – greys. However many people are nervous about decorating with pale blues or using pale blues in a scheme as they are concerned that the room will look too cold and unwelcoming. We have put together four colour schemes to show you how to incorporate pale blues with a variety of different accent colours.
