Blue and white combined can never go wrong as a color scheme. Here we look at moody blues, the color of the night sky for our source of inspiration! Dramatic and vibrant inky and indigo blues.
The following inspiring blue images come courtesy of Notebook Magazine, August 2010.
Dark inky blues on the wall make a strong statement and gives a dark almost industrial feel to the room.

Would you put turquoise and bright green together in a room? Your first impression is perhaps not! too intense right? and what is all this about “blue and green must not be seen”, but sometimes it really can work, especially with the right choice of patterns and textures and with just enough white in the room to balance things out.
It does create a retro vibe leaning towards a kitsch element no matter what the style of the room or furniture.

Fresh, clean and green, this dining room mixes traditional fretwork panels with up-to-the-minute shades of vibrant green and turquoise. If you wanted to warm up this room in winter or for a romantic evening meal, you could use coloured lightbulbs and candles to great effect.

The color scheme for the cabinets in the kitchen above interacts with the stainless steel throughout the kitchen by toning down turquoise and vivid greens with black paint to create darker and moodier variations:

Look to the water. If you have spectacular ocean views, let the water replace interior blue hues and introduce extra hints of red for contrast.

Red is an intense and aggressive color, so it works best as an accent.
Reds will dominate and come forward and blues will recede. With a combination of stripes and patterns you can create the perfect lively nautical themed living room that is a pleasure to be in.
Consider using your boldest hue (in this case red) on an accent wall. When you’re working with several shades, the brightest color will showcase the wall with the most interesting features.

This is the stunning living room of Erin Featherston in New York. It can be described as a modern french style with a touch of whimsy. I am totally in love with this place, when can I move in? lol
I love the pastel natural colour scheme in the pastel blue and beige, the amazing French pieces and the high ceilings and tall windows.
I am Pandora. A lover of interior design, decorating, homes, gardens and all things stylish!
I have been studying interior design as a side project for a few years on and off and decided to make this blog where I jot down my ideas and inspirations in the hopes that they will help or inspire others.
I am particularly in love with devising new color schemes an will try to add some of that here too.
This home and decorating site is a work in progress for me so come back often to see new ideas!
