How to decorate with blue

Blue is fantastically versatile, and doesn't have to feel cold. Here's how to make blue work in your home...


  • Choose a deep aqua tone of blue for the walls, as it's a warm shade of the colour.


  • Create balance with a piece of furniture in a darker blue and contrast with others in off-white, which is warmer than pure white.


  • Use accents of taupe and darker denim blue for accessories to create a richness of colour in the scheme.


  • Team with dark wood furniture and flooring to add depth.


  • Add small hints of bright pink as an accent or highlight colour - fresh flowers are brilliant for this.
