3 TOP TIPS FOR USING BLUE IN YOUR
INTERIOR SCHEME
1) Choose the right shade
"One of the reasons blue is such a versatile colour is the fact
that it comes in so many different shades,” says Roselind
Wilson. "This means it's absolutely crucial to choose the right
tone of blue for your particular project. Blues with a grey
undertone tend to lend a more sophisticated feel while
those with green tones add drama."
2) Be brave with blue
"The great thing about blue is that you can be really creative
with it because it's such an adaptable colour,” says Roselind.
"It provides the perfect contrast to both pastels and primary
colours and works really well when used in bold paint
patterns such as stripes or chevrons. So don't be afraid to
really go for it with blue and shake things up a bit!"
3) Highlight period features
"Painting architectural details such as panelling, cornicing
and moulded ceilings blue is a really unusual and effective
way to highlight period features,” says Roselind. "Because
of its versatility, blue can add an element of drama without
fighting with the rest of the scheme."
