Decorating With Blue

There’s no easier hue to work with than blue, in all its warm and cool tones.

Warm Blues

Famously calming and peaceful, blue can have very different effects on a room depending on its temperature. Warm blues, like the shade shown here (or like denim, ocean blue, or slate blue), contain hints of red. Color experts say they advance, or come toward you, so they help make a room feel cozier. Decorators often like warm blues in social spaces, like the living room, the kitchen, or the dining room.

Cool Blues

Shades known as cool blues―like cobalt, turquoise, and ice blue―have yellow in them and tend to recede, or back away, which can help a small space look bigger. Color experts explain that cool blues encourage calmness (which is nice for a bedroom) and focus (say, in a home office). Sometimes cool blues can go a little further and be cold. But in a bathroom, where you want a crisp, clean vibe, that can be a good thing.

Cool Mix

The range of blues that pop up in this room—on the walls, the furniture, the floor—reflect the tones from sky to sea.

Getting Warmer

A hint of green in the robin’s egg blue walls adds a warm note to a palette of restful blues.
