This abstract set of six prints has the power to create a soothing atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms. The versatility of blue allows it to be used in various shades and tones, from the vibrant and energetic turquoise to the deep and mysterious navy. 

In addition to its calming properties, blue also symbolises trust, loyalty, and intelligence. These qualities make it a great choice for home offices or study areas. Blue helps foster concentration and mental clarity in these functional spaces.

Blue is a staple colour. After all, it's one of the primary colours which means it usually forms a basis of the interior design scheme, with furniture and accessories built around the colour.

Transform your bedroom into a peaceful retreat by incorporating shades of blue. Choose a soft, pale blue for the walls to create a serene backdrop. Complement it with crisp white linens and furniture to evoke a sense of purity and freshness. Add accents of silver or gold to bring a touch of luxury to the space.

One of the reasons blue is so popular is its strong connection to nature. From the sky above to the depths of the ocean, blue surrounds us and provides a grounding influence. Incorporating blue into interiors taps into these natural associations, creating a peaceful environment.

The living room is where we gather with friends and family, so it's essential to create a welcoming and comfortable space. Consider using a deep navy blue on an accent wall to add depth and drama to the room. Pair it with neutral furniture and accessories to balance the richness of the colour. Incorporate blue through decorative pillows, artwork, or a statement rug to tie the room together.

Revitalising the Bathroom

Blue is a popular choice for bathrooms as it creates a sense of cleanliness and tranquility. Opt for a cool, aqua blue for the walls to evoke a spa-like ambiance. Pair it with white fixtures and natural materials such as marble or wood to enhance the luxurious feel. Add soft, fluffy towels in shades of blue to complete the look.

Playing with Contrasts

For a bold and striking look, consider using blue in contrast with other colours. Pairing blue with white creates a classic and timeless combination, while blue and gold exude opulence and sophistication. Experiment with different textures and patterns to add visual interest to your space.
