House Exterior

Decorating your apartment or home can be the difference between having a place you love and a place you don’t love. Choosing the right color scheme for each room is one of the main factors in taking your place to the next level. Going with blue is one of the most popular color choices out there.

The greatest thing about blue is that it is a calming color and promotes a feeling of relaxing. Perfect for the busy Apartment resident that enjoys their rest time. Check out these awesome tips on decorating your apartment using the color blue.

Blue-Brown- You can find a ton of brown or tan furniture and accessories to fill a room. I have seen an influx in use of light blue and brown offsetting each other.

Infuse It- Want to have a flash of color in your apartment? Easy! Just offset very light colored walls with cobalt or another vibrant shade of blue furniture upholstery. When you walk into your apartment you will feel a comfy blast of color with a contemporary feel.

Go Bold On The Walls- Or…you could paint your walls a bold blue, like cobalt blue and have brightly colored furniture with shades of reds, or pinks. If your really want to be out there you could offset the cobalt blue with a bright orange like the colors for the University of Florida.

Glass- Blue Stained glass comes in a variety of shades. Accent your room with these items throughout. Setting them in a window that gets a steady flow of sun can add great visual appeal when the sun shines through the glass and the shades of blue.

Spot the Blue- Don’t make blue your main color. Instead, use a cream or white as your main color and add speckles of blue throughout. Make the blue give the accenting feel. This also works in reverse, but is much more discrete this way.

Water- What’s more blue than water? Nothing..that’s what. Use a water theme throughout your apartment. If your community will allow you to have a fish tank, even better. Bring a pretty fish tank in with some royal blue fish!
