    Kitchen

    This is exactly the room where the blue color is quite rare because of its coldness and unappetizing. This design will be ideal for those who suffer from excess weight. According to psychologists, much less food is eaten in the blue kitchen than, for example, in the one where the main color is yellow, orange, and beige.

    Living room

    Blue, even in combination with other colors can be a disservice to the living room, making the room rustic. The interior, decorated in this tone, will reassure, but it can not be called spectacular, memorable. When using the sky color, it should also be remembered that any of its shades look advantageous in sunny rooms, whose windows face south. Walls or curtains will bring some coolness to such a room.

    Tip: Do not use these same curtains in the room, which is located in the northern part of the house, it will look not only cold, but gloomily dark.

    Room styles

    There are cases when the blue color in the interior is used for design in a modern style, but with historical notes. For example:

    • Neo-baroque;
    • Neoclassicism.

    These styles are characterized by chic, sophisticated elegance, ornate, curved lines, gilding in combination with actual motifs. In such an interior, blue brings solemnity, elegance, adds room, but eliminates flashy luxury.

    It is believed that this color came to us from the era of the Empire. It is according to these canons that the walls in the room must be made in blue, the flooring and the doors in some dark color, and the bed must always stand diagonally. Fortunately, times have changed, and we do not need to strictly follow these canons. We can shift the blue color with white, transfer it from the walls to furniture and accessories and turn the chic French chic into a cozy Provence.

    Harmonious alliances

    The blue palette is easily combined with many colors. The most common options are its alliances with:

    • White;
    • Red;
    • Gray;
    • Green;
    • Honey;
    • Yellow and others.

    Blue and white

    Most often, this combination can be seen in the bathrooms. This is not surprising, given that this color is associated with the water element, and the bathroom is the place where we are in close contact. It would be unfair not to say that in other rooms such a range also looks appropriate, and even recommended for some rooms. It will help create the illusion of airiness, purity. Add light and freshness in rooms with small windows. A prerequisite for this is the absence of any bright colors.

    If you want to add accents - it can be vanilla, beige, caramel and other pastel colors. The same wish applies to the floor. Saturated dark tones can distract attention from light motifs and the effect of widening the area disappears.

    According to most designers, the white and blue color in the interior will be most harmoniously combined with floors of whitened oak or honey golden. Dark colors will make the general perception worse, red will look coarse, greenish will break the balance.

But given the fact that opposites attract a combination of ice and flame can create a brilliant interior. The main thing is to smooth the imbalance of temperatures. This can be achieved by determining which of the colors will dominate and, accordingly, the room will be cold or warm. So, if you chose the main blue color in the interior, then the stripes on the wallpaper, bed linen, bedspread, tablecloth and the like can be red.

    Tip: play with shades of red and take a crimson, coral, terracotta.
