Designers are drawn up in a blue detail of furniture, accent walls or mixing it with gold. Take a note if you like this beautiful color, but you do not decide to include it in the interior.
Surely you already know that the Color of 2020, the Pantone Institute called Blue: Universal, beautiful, but still ambiguous color for interior design. How to use it - we asked for designers.
1 Take a bedroom
Designers Elena Ivanova and Marina Pogranitskaya prefer to use blue and its shades in the design of bedrooms, as this color contributes to relaxation and rest. However, they advise it to apply it accently so that the space does not look too cold.
Elena Ivanova and Maria Pornutsky, designers:
Blue color is considered the most neutral color for a psycho-emotional state, it can be used both in the style of modern classics and in minimalism, but it is not worth removing with it so that there is no feeling of cold and depression.
2 mix blue with gold
Gold metals in trend are already several seasons, and they will perfectly fit into the room, which is framed in blue shades in whole or in part. According to the designer Irina Fahrutdinova, such a combination always looks exquisitely.
Irina Fahrutdinova, Designer:
I love the combination of classic blue and gold. These colors complement well and compensate for each other, as the blue muffles gold, and the golden adds a blue gloss.
3 Build a blue wall
The designer Rimma Semenova speaks about the classic blue as a symbol of constancy and trust, color of faith and confidence and draws up in blue volume surfaces, in particular walls. Such a decoration is easy to dilute with furniture and decor, it is enough to choose the right color-companions: bright and bright tones, earthy and dark.
Rimma Semenova, Designer:
No need to be afraid of colors! These are old stereotypes that light colors expand the space, everything is quite the opposite: dark shades visually make the room more and hide its flaws in the form of corners, protrusions and boxes. Do not forget that the color of the walls is a beautiful background where you can draw a gorgeous picture.
4 or make one accent wall
Designer Dmitry Kondakov prefers to apply blue on the species wall, thereby making it an accent. Moreover, the decoration of this wall may be different, as well as its purpose. For example, a surround panels in the headboard or a sofa, a wall behind a TV, a wall cladding around the fireplace and the very heart of a colored marble, a kitchen apron finish with a mosaic or tiled.
The rest of the walls in the room designer recommends making background, choosing white or gray, and add color opposite to blue in detail. For example, put on the floor terracotta carpet, hang yellow brown curtains, put the chair of the oath color. So the interior becomes air and contrast appears.
Dmitry Kondakov, architect designer:
Classic Blue You have to call positive feelings and emotions to enjoy his beauty every day. Therefore, I always learn from my customers, what kind of associations cause them blue. So, for example, one of my clients liked the mountains against the background of the starry sky, because they reminded about fishing campaigns on mountain rivers. So the wall in his bedroom became dark blue. The classic blue in the living room allows you to safely relax from the working everyday life, it creates a sense of reliability and stability, so it can be used if the owners of the apartment seek the atmosphere of relaxation in their interior.
5 Use blue in furnishings
If you paint the walls in blue - too bold and bright solution for you, it can be used in the objects of the situation. For example, put in the kitchen chairs with blue upholstery, paint parts of a decorative fireplace or hang curtains in this shade. So recommends the designer Alice Svistunov.
Alice Svistunova, Designer:
The classic blue has long been popular in the interiors, often use it by accents on the walls, but it is also interesting to introduce it in the subjects - upholstery, textiles, painted pieces of furniture. It combines well with many shades and can be both a supplement and an emphasis on a restrained base.
