How blue works in the living room
In the living room, a navy sofa or feature wall adds depth and drama; balance it with sand, off-white and a wood-toned rug so it doesn't feel heavy.
Keep in mind what's specific to this room: the room's largest colour surfaces and a clear seating group. 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 living room — 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 living room and type "repaint the living room in blue". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
