Soft and Dreamy Xiaomi Presets for Lifestyle Photos

Walkthrough of low contrast pastel Xiaomi presets and shooting tips for lifestyle moments

The dreamy look isn’t just overexposing everything. It’s a cocktail of gentle highlights, muted shadows, and creamy colors. Xiaomi preset packs can bottle that vibe so your bedroom, café, and stay-at-home scenes look like an editorial.

What defines the style

  • Lower contrast curve with a slight lift in blacks.
  • Pastel-toned HSL adjustments, especially desaturated greens and soft pinks.
  • Reduced clarity to keep backgrounds buttery.

Presets that nail it

  • Cloud Cushion – Raises exposure +0.2 while tapering blues so window light stays airy.
  • Macaron Latte – Adds peach to midtones and trims yellow cast from café lamps.
  • Sunday Linen – Pulls saturation out of greens and highlights neutrals for minimalist bedrooms.

Shooting tips for extra softness

  1. Chase backlight: let the sun or a lamp sit behind your subject, then let the preset lift the haze.
  2. Keep props simple—white bedding, clear mugs, neutral outfits. Dreamy presets fall apart with busy patterns.
  3. If highlights clip, lower intensity of the preset by 15% rather than dragging exposure down; you keep the pastel palette intact.

Dial these in and even a cup of tea on a messy desk suddenly looks like it belongs on Pinterest.
