We’ve got the blues… The good kind. Sometimes rumoured to be chilly, blue is in fact a dreamy colour for interiors. From deep navies and indigos to palest pastel blue via every vivid shade of the blue spectrum, here’s how to decorate with blue... MEANING Serene, strong, stable, blue is one of the primary colours, naturally occurring countless times in nature. Beautifully calming, this intense pigment has been a colour stalwart for centuries. MOOD Cosy - paint everything, including trims, baseboards and doors, for a warm, enveloping feel. Then add dark wood antique furniture. Airy - trim with fresh neutrals, layer in whites and lights for an uplifting space. Pair with: soft neutral pinks or, for impact, a bold tone like a complimentary orange would pop perfectly, or a deep brown looks sophisticated and cosy. With its myriad shades, blue is the perfect shade for tone on tone layering. Blues styling notes... |

SET A MOOD One of the most versatile shades in the colour wheel, blue will bend to your mood… Atmospheric in candlelight, sparkling in sunshine, blues will change according to the light and their accompanying colours and prints.  |

TRY A CONTRAST Why not combine blue with an unexpected contrasting shade? A pop of red is a bold choice with mid and darker blues. Or go classic and pair blue tones with soft neutrals to keep the vibe light, luxe and sophisticated.
