How blue works in the dining area
In the dining area, a deep-blue feature wall works as an elegant backdrop for both wood and rattan chairs.
Keep in mind what's specific to this room: the wall behind the table as a backdrop and a gathered feel. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.
Colours that pair well with blue
Blue loves white and sand for a coastal feel, or warm wood and brass so it never turns cold. Pink and rust add unexpected warmth.
Materials and details
Linen and cotton, light wood and brass take the chill off. Avoid an all-cool palette — blue turns clinical fast.
The most common mistake
Pairing blue with grey and chrome everywhere — the room tips cold. Always add one warm tone.
See blue in the dining area — before you paint
The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the dining area and type "repaint the dining area in blue". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
