Creating Blue Stories

Posted by Theja Dissanayake on

Styling with blue colourways reminds us of natural elements we see everyday.

 

The vibrant blue of a sunny sky, the deep blue of the ocean and surrounding seas, or the glistening dew in rain drops.

 

Many of these colour combinations are further enhanced with the introduction of white, though the tonal elements of blue, are able to change the look and feel to styling.

 

 

Beautiful blue stories can be created, mixing varying shades of blue that have different tones reflecting elements of the outside environment.

 

With the right coordination of furniture and soft furnishings a calm, relaxed and sophisticated decoration can be achieved that can bring contrasting elements of a coastal and relaxed feel, to a moody lounge feel with darker tones.

 

Blue elements with a coastal feel work well with pale blue and vibrant seafoam. Coral designs that remind us of the sea, to basic stripes bringing a modern element. With combinations of textures, like raffia, and natural fringing bringing a summer feel, mixed with colour combinations of neutrals and whites. 

 

Classic styling also brings longevity to the colour palette. A timeless look can be created with a colour that reminds us of heritage and tells a tale. Elements of floral that can bring an airy romance and classic country feel.

 

 

Utilising a deeper more moody tone brings a certain style of elegance, and regalness with stripes or solids. The accompanying furniture is also able to support this elegance, with standing elements or rich textures like velvets and tassle fringing.

 

Blue stories are so versatile and can ease into many styling genres, and works so beautifully when balanced.
