I’m a blue jeans and boots girl but I never liked blue in my home.
Too traditional, too typical, too boring …
I thought.
Then a funny thing happened that had me singing the blues in my house. I found a pair of fabulous, blue velvet, mid century club chairs. (See them in all their glory in my living room at Eclectically Vintage.)
I’m right on trend too, because Dazzling Blue has been named Pantone's top color of spring 2014.
According to the Pantone Color Institute, Dazzling Blue is a shade that’s more vibrant than traditional navy – in fact, it’s the color of Facebook.
While I love the vibrant blue walls in this den from Amanda Nisbet Design, you don’t have to commit to such a grand scale of blue. Small touches can update any room whether it’s a simple blue drum lampshade, an accent pillow with dazzling blue accents, or a vibrant blue table lamp.
Blue painted stairs in this lake house are young and hip and anything but boring thanks to the design skills of Emily Henderson.

Pantone is really on to something with their color of spring 2014...
