Spring has sprung, and just like last year, this season is also a bit different from year's past. Some of us might be separated from our loved ones, missing them dearly. While others of us are not, instead, those are left looking for ways to put some much-needed space between those closest to them (literally).

Regardless of which side you fall, the one common link among us all is clear: we're in desperate need of cheering up. We all need something to make us smile, giving us joy once more, and the solution? Pastel buys.

Pastel buys are, of course, a spring necessity. However, this year, instead of diverting your go-to blues, yellows, and purples (to name a few) solely on your wardrobe selections, implement that same amount of effort into one of the most crucial rooms in your home: your kitchen.

Think colorful coffee makers, bright, bold refrigerators, and of course, all of the multi-colored mugs you can get your hands on!

Every single pastel piece will lift your spirits and fill your room with joy, and if you're struggling to believe us? See for yourself.

Here are seven pastel buys to perfect— they will revive the spring in your step!

1. Go all-in and invest in a brand-new refrigerator

A SMEG refrigerator is one of the most worthwhile investments you can make when opting to implement pastel buys into your home, as well as one of the most expensive, but trust us: it's worth it.

An icon of Italian design, the 50's style this choice is retro cool on the outside, state-of-the-art on the inside. Featuring thoughtful storage spaces, adjustable shelving, and an energy-efficient design, this fridge is both fun to use and easy on the eyes. My personal favorite? The light blue. View Deal

2. Try a touch-screen air fryer
