Blue interior design ideas appeal to the broadest range of people as it's the most universally appreciated colour. The simple fact is the positive connotations far outweigh the negatives. This makes it ideal for home decorating.

A calming and stimulating shade, blue has been proven to help with mental clarity, lowering the heart rate and inspiring creativity. Here are our favourite ways to use it in interior designs.

Duck-Egg-Blue Room Ideas

Duck-egg-blue rooms make calm and soothing spaces through their blueish-green shade. This makes it a great base for using in rooms where you want to kick-back and relax.

Pair this tone with darker shades on luxurious fabrics, such as velvet, for an opulent finish. Coupling it with red creates a modern colour clash. Coral, on the other hand, gives a youthful twist to this classic.

Indigo-Blue Room Ideas

Indigo is a darker shade that falls between blue and purple. Its richness is ideal for a touch of femininity. Alternatively, large prints balance this colour for wider appeal.

Mix indigo blue with off-white or neutral for a warm balance of shades. This can be in the pattern itself, on the walls, accessories or furnishings.

Air-Force-Blue Room Ideas

Air-force blue is a medium azure that is otherwise known as French blue, 40s blue or steel blue. It's the perfect mid-range shade to meet all needs.

Warm brown shades with orange undertones are complementary accompaniments to this interior design scheme. Black and white both make it pop, exaggerating its effect.

Navy-Blue Room Ideas

Navy blue is a dark shade named after British Royal Navy uniforms. It is smart and also imbued with authority.

The history of this colour makes it entirely suited to all-out nautical-themed rooms. It, however, also works in drawing rooms and formal spaces.

Soften the impact of navy by using it with lighter blue shades and plenty of white to brighten and balance. Try it with high ceilings and on occasional chairs for a regal finish.
