Blue will take your home from Fall to Winter.
Oh how I love the BLUE hue! It is such a transitional color that can fit into nearly all home designs for every season. Let's use some inspiring images from House & Garden to dissect how to take blues from the carefree days of Fall into moody, broody Winter.
Kitchen design stylishly done in blue.
This dark navy kitchen is so dramatic and dreamy, I can picture long Winter nights filled with glasses of Shiraz and dark chocolate. This kitchen demonstrates how dark cabinets, paired with dark walls, can be a truly beautiful thing. There's even enough counter space to include a beautiful lamp for extra lighting and decor.
Paint walls blue for high impact design.
Once a faux pas, I think I can honestly say that blue and black have never been moodier (and more stylish!). The look can be pulled off in smaller spaces where drama is key and mixed materials reign. Black floor lamps pop against dark blue walls beautifully.
Blue chinoiserie and toile design.
If you are still feeling conflicted about committing to big bold blue hues why not try pattern?! For me, Chinoiserie and Toile are the epitome of cool, European winter nights filled with yummy dinners and long conversations. Wallpaper, vases, urns and beautiful lamp shades blend together wonderfully and whimsically in this stylish dining room.
Stylish tiles for blue bathroom design.
Moody blue tiles add drama and style to these bathrooms above. Utilizing the darker blue hues brings in a wintery vibe while not being too cold and unapproachable. After all, you don't want your guests turned off from using the loo now do you??
