Colour Trend – Ice Blue
Winter is the perfect time of year to experiment with crisp glacial colour tones that will create a soft and illuminating finish in your chosen interior space. ICE BLUE is a perfect seasonal colour choice that will look amazing in a wide range of modern and traditional home interiors. The cool and elegant hues will create a frosted ambiance for a perfect winter wonderland setting.
Colour palette
For a crisp ‘frozen’ inspired home interior, select ice blue, aqua and white that will create a classic ice palace feel in your chosen room. For a more masculine spin on this colour tone then partner with rich grey and black for a modern twist on a classic monochrome interior. If you love Nordic interior design then opt for ice blue, dove grey and cream that will create a light yet cosy atmosphere that is perfect for the colder months. For a chic country cottage inspired home marry ice blue with mauve, beige and duck egg blue for warm and welcoming look that is perfect for living room and bedroom interiors.
Cushions
Statement cushions are one of the hottest trends this Autumn/Winter season as they not only provide colour and pattern but create a practical space to curl up and relax. For a classic wintery feel then select crisp white cushions in sleek satin or cotton and add ice blue cushions that feature classic snowflake, stag head or star print designs for a fresh and colourful focal point. For a cosy chalet style look then select woollen and knitted cushions in cream and ice blue and add fairisle prints that give classic seasonal warmth. If you love a splash of glamour in your home then display satin ice blue cushions alongside metallic silver or gold and add sequined and glittered designs that will create a focal point within your chosen space.
Upholstery
Light pastel and glacial tones make a great alternative to traditional cream and white upholstery as they add a hint of colour to your interior space without being too strong or overpowering. A chic and elegant French style occasional chair or chaise lounge will look amazing with a crisp white or silver painted framework to create a soft and feminine ambiance with a hint of palatial flamboyance. For a more cosy country cottage feel then upholster chunky oak dining chairs with an ice blue cotton fabric or select polka dot fabrics for a more vintage, shabby chic style design.
Accessories
Ice Blue home accessories will look fabulous displayed along a mantelpiece or sideboard and compliment both bold and neutral painted backdrops. Ice blue glassware is particularly striking against a crisp white wall or displayed in a white painted dresser for a pop of subtle colour. If you have concentrated your ice blue colour to your walls then opt for crisp white vases and ornaments that will compliment the soft feminine hues or select jet black photo frames and lamps that will add a contrasting masculine twist to your interior space. If you have a shabby chic or cottage style interior or love the pastel tones of a retro kitchen diner then select some gorgeous ice blue kitchen appliances such as mixers, toasters and kettles that are stylish yet functional.
Furniture
The soft tones of ice blue mean that it can be partnered with a wide range of furniture styles and colours for a variety of interior looks. A classic look can be achieved using some white or soft grey painted furniture that will compliment the subtle colour tones and create an illuminating finish that is perfect for smaller homes. Black painted furniture will create a bold and sophisticated contrast against the decor and is perfect for more modern or masculine interior spaces. If you wish to create a glamorous and palatial look in your chosen room then select silver painted or mirrored furniture items that will create a dazzling and flamboyant finish that works particularly well in bedroom and dressing room interiors.
