The dazzling role of Blue color
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009
If you love blue, this is the year for you. Furniture and accessories are dripping with style in hues from blackened indigos to aquamarine. A color loaded with possibilities, blue remains on the top of the list this spring and summer. The bright blue of seasons past is still popular, but it is morphing into aqua jewel tones and ocean shades as we head into 2009.
Blues are partnering with more neutral and subtle tones like dove gray and stark white, strikingly contrasted to strong colors. Different, stronger blues are edging toward a more sophisticated
palette, not a traditional one, but more sophisticated nonetheless.
This spring hue will be awash in many patterns and textures. Look for aqua blue in combos of chartreuse green and chocolate browns. Bold plaid patterns and modern swirls showcase the color ensembles in accessories and rugs. Blue painted furniture adds eye-popping color and visual interest to your room.
Whatever blue hue speaks to you, let color play a dazzling role in your home decor this year!
