    Beautiful homes in shades of blue

    Rooms in shades of blue are popular for a reason – the color works in every room

    Most of our house is painted in a light aqua blue.  It’s soothing, airy, and doesn’t clash with anything.  It just works.  It doesn’t try to make too much of a statement or chase the latest trend.

    Below are other examples to serve as inspiration for blue rooms in every shade – from dark and dusky to light and bright.

    Even different shades of blue as accent colors work when mixed together.  And how about those french doors in the bedroom!

    A textrured indigo on the wall ties together the bolder blues in the bedding and the settee.  I love the blue and white patterned bedspread!!

    More indigo blue on textured walls.  So clean and airy, but also cozy and intimate

    Blue can be glamorous also, expecially when used in a glossy finish and on upscale details like wainscoting.

    Dark and dusky blue makes this dining room an intimate place to catch up with family.

  • Sofas that are anything but neutral – couches with color

    Sofas that are anything but neutral – couches with color

    Our walls are close to this color – I just assumed we would get a gray sofa. All though I’d prefer white or cream, with an active young dog and a baby on the way, I’m afraid I’d be constantly fretting over stains. I would never have thought to use a light blue couch against an aqua wall, but I don’t mind it here.

    I love navy, but I’m so afraid of it making our already small living room seem smaller.
