For too long, blue has been relegated to the bathroom. But this cool colour is no one-trick pony when it comes to interior design! The most popular colour in the world, blue and its many shades make small spaces look bigger and add a refreshing feel to rooms that get too much sun.
Using blue in your home is a sure path to balance and happiness. Colour of sky and sea, blue is said by colour psychology experts to evoke infinity, relaxation and purity. In these busy times, surrounding yourself with calming, tranquil tones will help you focus on what’s important and channel positive energy. Choose a deep navy like Moonless Night (6009-83), an exotic turquoise like Caribbean Sea Blue (6003-53), or an enchanting Mystic Cobalt (6008-73). This hue offers as many ambiances as it does shades!
Here are 3 ideas from our SICO influencers for incorporating blue throughout your home.
