Decor Idea Board | Blue Hues

Hello readers!

Trending in colors from summer to fall and into next year, deep blue hues. I love how the deep blue combo looks with contrasting crisp whites, very nautical perfect for a coastal modern interior space. I put together this decor board a while back and thought I’d share it with you today. Also, I am currently designing a 3D mood board at #Olioboard and will share that with you later this week. How would you use this color in your home decorating?

Earlier this week Pantone announced “Tangerine Tango as Color Of The Year for 2012. I love this color! It’s sophisticated with a flirty edge to it, hence the “Tango” name. “Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. Did I say I love this color? !!!

Blues and greens are great colors that compliment tangerine tango, they also cool down the intensity of deep vivid oranges.

Nice outdoor space right? The color in this space has blues and reds, but you can substitute red with tangerine and it would just be stunning! Don’t you think?

This bold color is great for interior spaces that need that boost of energy, especially those rooms that don’t receive direct sunlight. Simple ways to add high impact with low cost results is always with paint like in these photos:

Brown and beige are warm colors which intensify the oranges. To cool down use whites and grays like in this room.

Do you like oranges? Would you use them in your home decor?

Decorating with Color

Decorating with Dark Colors

Navy and White {Mondays Hues}

Color sets the mood and adds interest to a space. One simple and inexpensive way to do this is with paint. Color can also make a space feel smaller or larger. Warmer hues seem to advance toward you because cooler colors recede away from you.

Contrast of light and dark colors give a space a sophisticated look. Here are some great examples of Interior Designers who achieved this by incorporating dark blues and whites in the room’s color palette.

Samantha Pynn is one of my favorite Canadian Interior Decorators. She uses color so beautifully, fresh and exciting and balanced. In this room she uses white to add contrast to the navy wall color which gives it a sophisticated look. It’s balanced by using dark wood floors and blues throughout the space with fun yellow accessories.

Here the designer also uses white bedding against dark blue walls and black furniture.

Add a colorful painting and incorporate those colors into the room’s decor. When accessorizing, a little goes a long way especially in the bathroom!
