Introduction

• Blue is one of the key colours trending for
  autumn/winter 2014 and designers are creating
  stunning interiors using its many different
  shades. From bright cobalt and electric blue,
  through sky blue to the more subtle aqua, blue is
  an ideal base colour for any interior
  scheme.Use blue together with grey for a cool,
  contemporary look in a modern loft or apartment,
  or a stylish wet room. Blue has long been a
  popular choice for bathrooms and an azure or
  aquamarine, teamed with yellow or white will
  create a fresh, welcoming environment
  especially ideal to step into first thing in the
  morning.

Choosing The Right Paint Colour

• In a living room, particularly one opening onto a
  garden terrace or deck, opting for sky blue
  walls, white paintwork and either a light wood or
  wood effect laminate floor, or a geometric
  patterned carpet in shades of blue and white,
  will give you a light, summery feel.
• If you have an older style property, designers,
  such as those working on home renovation
  Leicestershire, may suggest pairing peacock blue
  with deep crimsons or purples for a rich,
  traditional feel which will suit your period home
  perfectly.

Tips for colouring your home Interior

• Cobalt is a key fashion shade for autumn/winter
  2014 and this strong blue can be partnered with
  anything from the palest ice blue to vibrant
  fuschia or lime green to create a stand out look
  for a living area, or even a kitchen. You could
  use either the blue or the toning colour for
  upholstery, curtains, flooring or cabinet doors.
• At one time, childrens rooms were decorated in
  blue for a boy, pink for a girl, but now such
  traditions no longer apply and both boys and
  girls can enjoy blue and green, blue and yellow
  or blue and red or pink colour schemes.

Conclusion

• If youre thinking of basing a redecoration or
  renovation scheme around blue, take time to
  consider which blue would work best in your room.
  Ask for paint, wall covering, upholstery and
  flooring samples to try in your home at different
  times of day and in different lighting levels.
  Dont be afraid to mix different blues together,
  but in a small room, be aware that too many
  shades and patterns will make the space seem much
  smaller.
• Blue is such a versatile colour, that whatever
  shade or shades of blue you choose, and whatever
  complementary colours you use, you can be use
  that your choice is right on trend.
