Colour Trend – Vintage Blue

Blue is a go to colour for this season’s interior design palette and a stylish VINTAGE BLUE will create a classic and elegant feel in any room of the home. This slightly muted and dusky blue hue will compliment a wide variety of colour schemes and can be used in both contemporary and traditional home interiors. It is perfect for those who wish to add a pop of colour to their interior space whilst maintaining a chic and sophisticated finish.

For a classic colour combination partner vintage blue with soft or antique white to create a light and bright ambience that is perfect for creating a country cottage or French chateau inspired look. If you prefer a more tonal and cosy finished then partner vintage blue with a variety of grey tones ranging from light dove grey through to pewter and charcoal for more dramatic and deep interior finish. If you love a more colourful interior design then pair vintage blue with a variety of pastel tones such as baby pink and baby blue or botanical hues such as mint, lemon and lilac to create a garden inspired look that is perfect for the summer months.

Vintage blue is a great choice for interior soft furnishings as it compliments a wide variety of colours and patterns. For a simple country style finish tin your home interior include some vintage blue and cream or beige striped or tartan curtains and co-ordinate with your cushions, throws and bedding for a rustic yet sophisticated finish. A more delicate and feminine feel can be achieved by teaming vintage blue with soft pastel tones and floral colour palettes with flower, leaf and tree print patterns that will look great in a garden view living room or bedroom interior. If you prefer a more modern interior design then why not pair vintage blue with simple monochrome fabrics and upholstery and add hints of patterns such as stripes, chevrons or bold retro, geometric patterns that will create an eye catching focal point across your sofa, bed or flooring.

In-keeping with the elegance and beauty of this particular colour choice; painted furniture makes a great partner for a vintage blue interior as it compliments the light yet cosy feel of the background. Crisp white painted furniture will create a sense of illumination and space in even the smallest of interior spaces while cream painted furniture will create a more rustic country cottage look that is refined, cosy and welcoming. Classic oak furniture is also great choice for flattering a vintage blue interior backdrop as it creates classic beauty and versatility that adds warmth and refinement to your interior space. If you wish to create a more glamorous visual impact within your chosen room then why not opt for some chic high gloss or mirrored furniture items that will add a modern twist to this rather traditional colour scheme and will create eye-catching reflections across your interior space.
