Shades of Blue: 7 Designs that Inspire

Blue has always been a favorite in the design world. The contemporary appeal and classic styling make it one of our top choices. It pairs well with every color, making it easy to change up throughout the years. Shades of blue transition with each trend, so we’re always finding new ways to decorate with them. Here are 7 rooms in different shades of blue to inspire your design…

A Refreshing Welcome

Light, airy shades of blue are the perfect choice for making an unforgettable first impression. Whether it’s welcoming guests into your home, or yourself after a long day, a refreshing entryway will make all the difference. Play with different shades, like the personal touches on the shelves, for a fun, unique design.

Cool + Contemporary

This kitchen has the ideal balance of soft tones with contemporary appeal. The watery shades of blue accentuate the pop of color in these accent chairs.

Rich shades of blue, like the one featured here, bring mystery and personality into a design. And, paired with white, this color scheme is dynamic and dramatic. Every design element comes together to create a finished look. We can’t help but notice the beauty of the chandelier; especially with its reflection through the mirror.

Soft + Subtle Shades of Blue

More people are deciding to work from home, making offices a must have in many houses. What do you need for your home office? You need a space that allows you to focus, concentrate, and work in relaxation! This office is ideal; the shades of blue are soft and inviting. The only thing we’d change would be the window treatments. Although these roman shades look gorgeous with the design, top down shades are better for office spaces. The sunlight enters across the ceiling, which will help to cut glare and direct sunshine. Daylighting will also keep your energy levels up and your productivity soaring!

The Latest Trend

Take Time to Relax

Isn’t this bathroom a dream? We’d all love to have our own at-home spas. Shades of blue create a calming ambiance with their ocean vibes. This aqua color palette works wonderfully for spaces that need a serene environment. And, the skylight allows for natural lighting, as well as privacy. But, what if you want a darker atmosphere? Cover your windows with skylight shades. For even more convenience, add motorization. You can adjust the light at the touch of a button on your remote or smart device. Instant control, so you can sit back and enjoy your spa.
