Usually the go-to colour for beach houses and boy’s rooms, if you choose the right shade, the colour
blue can create a bright, bold and striking statement room, or a tranquil and soothing escape.

A stunning abstract painting in various
shades of blue, the easiest way to introduce
blue to your room, is complimented with a
geometric patterned blue and white rug in this
New York apartment designed by Anita Sarsidi.

Mimmi O’Connell adds a touch of blue
to a traditional Majorcan room decorated
predominantly in white with the addition of
boldly patterned cushions and rugs in matching
shades of blue.

A bright cerulean blue on the walls of
this inviting Greek bedroom, designed by
John Stafanidis, is complemented by the rich
navy blue of the textiles on the bed and the
lamps either side of the four-poster.

An 18th century French damask wallpaper
in sky blue and white creates drama in this
eclectic living space designed by Miles Redd.
Accents of complementing shades of blue on the
cushions and curtains complete the blue theme.

The palest of tiffany blue that Diane
Berger has chosen for the walls of this 18th
century French inspired room is the perfect
background for the beautifully ornate furniture
covered in bright blue toile.

A fresh azure blue on the walls with
accents of white in both the dining room
and living room in this Dutch home designed
by Floriene Bosch, makes this ground floor
social area flow together beautifully.
