I chose the color blue today because I truly believe that it is another color that is difficult to incorporate in the home. I chose a shade of cobalt that is particularly difficult! The color blue is strong, much like our last post where yellow was featured. In this post I will show you how to jazz up your home with another strong color that most people stay away from when decorating because it can be so intimidating. When in actuality blue is sensuous and relaxing. The color it self induces one to a calm and tranquil state. So here we go:

A vintage door knob can be used to accentuate. As well as other items in a hall way or foyer. When the majority of an area of the home is one color, it should be set off with 1 other color for a simplistic and stress free look. Notice how this image is contemporary yet lightyears away? Make your home a haven by falling in love with the creativity in which you adorn it with.
 Focal point. For starters the focal point should never be in the middle of the room. It should be off centered to an extent. Whether that extent be slight or extreme is up to you. This coffee table is a great example. The room with mostly earth tones with black storage. The coffee table is the focal point of the room. It really pops!  |
Blue Walls: Now this look is hard to achieve. Blue is royal. Blue is rich. It looks amazing with tan and white like seen in this picture but notice the quality of the furniture? I'll tell you one thing it isn't cheap! That fire place, even those white hard wood floors, this room probably cost a small fortune to decorate. If you are going to go blue it seems like you may have to go all the way!
Look how easy it is to show off your sultry side with a little blue in the kitchen? Be bold! Line the back of your white glass cabinets with contact or scrap booking paper! Or if you want something more permanent use paint!
Dark and light! Blue is one of few colors in which you can use different shades of the same color in the same room and the colors will still compliment each other. That is because even though all blues are blue, each shade seems to contain its very own identity. Do you see how the pattern of the wall paper seems complex but soft and the small table seems fragile and old yet sturdy?
So jazz up your home with a little blue! Here are some more great finds!
Have fun decorating with these tips!
