Feeling Blue?
Blue is one of the hottest colours in home décor this season, and many people are looking for ways to update their décor. While some will go all out and will enhance décor by investing in new sofas and chairs for the living room, others are looking for more affordable solutions for bringing a touch of blue into the space. There are numerous options to consider, and these are among the easiest and most affordable ideas that you can get started as you incorporate a touch of blue into your living room.
Dress Up the Walls
For those who want to go all out with blue as a colour option in the living room, dressing up the walls in an azure shade is a smart solution that can have tremendous results. This can be done with something as simple and affordable as a can of blue paint, painting supplies and a few hours of time. It can also take on a more elaborate effort. For example, it may include blue stenciling on the walls, blue trim along the baseboards and window sills or some other touch of decorative blue paint.
Spruce Up the Windows
Blue can also be incorporated into a room with dramatic flair with the introduction of new window coverings. From powder blue drapes to navy blue window sheers, the sky is the limit with regards to the options for sprucing up the windows with a touch of blue. Blinds, interior plantation shutters and other options can also be purchased in this colour. Generally, this option will be in contrast with the colour on the walls. For example, if navy is selected as a wall colour, a pale blue shade of sheers may be added to the windows. Blue shades can be used for both the windows and walls, or the blue can be paired with another contrasting color, such as white, beige or even a bolder option such as yellow.
Add New Throws and Pillows
Incorporating blue into a space through new wall colour or new window coverings is a smart idea, but this can bring a lot of blue into a room. Some people want to include only subtle touches of blue into their space, and there are easy ways to accomplish this. For example, adding new throw pillows and blankets to the sitting area is one idea. This can be combined with other decorative blue accessories, such as lamp shades, area rugs, vases with flowers, candles and more.
Some will want to include different shades of blue throughout their living room. Others will prefer to use this in limited fashion as an accent colour. There is no wrong way to include blue into a space, and there are many ways to accomplish this decorating goal. Those who are interested in incorporating any shade of blue into their home can consider how some or all of these ideas may be used to bring their vision of a blue living room to life.
