Blue is super-trendy right now, but you’ll know this already if you’re a regular reader of the blog, or if you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Linkedin. And if you don’t, what are you waiting for?? Just think of all the free tips and interior inspiration you’re missing! Anywho… here are some fantastic rooms to inspire you to think blue!
Previously, I’ve talked about colors — what they say about your personality and what mood they create. Generally, the color blue conveys peace, stability, confidence, affection, and integrity, so it’s easy to see why blue is one of the most popular colors world-wide. Next to neutrals, blue is also one of the easiest colors to work with because of its various warm and cool tones.
The bedroom is a room where people often want to create a peaceful, sanctuary feel, so blue is a natural choice to help create a soothing environment. The blue below would be considered a cool blue, because of the yellow undertones, thus making the color “recede” which can make a space feel larger, while still imparting a very serene mood.
Deeper shades of blue, in vogue now, can also provide a great feeling of calm and may appeal more strongly to both genders.
The modern bathroom, which functions these days as an oasis of calm, rather than just a functional space, is gorgeous with various shades of blue, either on the wall or elsewhere as an accent color. Warm blues, such as denim, slate blue, or ocean blue contain red undertones, which make them feel more cozy.
In other rooms of the home as well, don’t be afraid to use blue, even in unexpected places such as a floor! Since the stronger blues, such as navy and greek blue, are so on trend right now, consider using these shades as accent colors, in furniture, or to create an instant focal point.
