Unicorns are absolutely everywhere this year. From pastel shades to softly striped hair and even rainbow coloured food - there's no escaping it!

It’s a trend that’s appealed to kids and adults alike and is now making its way into interior design. If you want to create a mythical paradise in your home, here are some of our favourite ways to add a sprinkle of unicorn magic.

The easiest way to get that unicorn vibe is through soft pastel colours like pinks, greens and yellows. Pastels are an easy way to add bright shades to your home without it feeling too overwhelming. You can add hints here and there or go all out and decorate to your heart’s content.

The beauty of unicorns is that they’re mythical creatures. So, if you want to use pastel shades to create patterns or paint your very own unicorn, go for it!

Break it up with bright whites

Taking further inspiration from unicorns, splashes of bright white can break up your playful pastels and add a clean feel to your home. Use it to segregate or emphasise different colours for a striking but soft look.

Be bold – use glitter!
