You may not know that blue is America’s favorite color and the most popular color for living rooms and bedrooms alike. If you are concerned about resale values in your neighborhood and you’d like your home to stand head and shoulders above the rest, you may wish to salute the color blue.
There’s no need to rush out and buy paint, although if painting is already in the décor plan it wouldn’t hurt to go blue; regardless of your current wall colors, you can introduce blue with textiles and fabrics on almost every surface.
An easy and quick fix in the living room, family room or den is to invest in decorative pillows – toss them on chairs and couches for a splash of blue and add a decorative throw or two to introduce some blue.
Blue and green is a pleasing combination; other popular color combinations include blue and yellow, pink and blue and blue on blue, while the pairing of a dusty blue with a cocoa brown is very modern.
Blue in the bedroom is very calming and restful so a blue duvet or a blue comforter is a welcome change. Changing textiles in the bedroom is easy when you invest in a bedding ensemble – a bedding ensemble typically includes a bed skirt, comforter and two pillow shams. By simply changing those three components you can transform the look of a room in minutes and go blue. To step it up a bit more, consider blue window valances, window panels or an area rug in a blue hue.
