Blue is popping up everywhere in the home this season, inspiring thoughts of water, stone, and sky.

Navy blues are still the hardest workers of the blue family, fulfilling the role of neutral basic and upholstery classic. Spa-inspired light blues and contemporary teals brighten up interiors with breezy color.

Tiffany-turquoises and aqua-blues provide playful pops of color on all kinds of home accents.

Blue hues work well in monochromatic designs, but blue also plays well with others, pairing beautifully with browns, greens, yellows, and reds. It’s no surprise that simple, serene blue is perennially front and center in interior design…. Blues are easy for do-it-yourself decorators and fun to mix-and-match, too.
