Blue is a great color to use in room interiors.
It's a calming and restful color and with so many different shades of blue you can create completely different looks. Try a soft baby blue for a bathroom or bedroom, a deep indigo looks great in dining rooms and sitting rooms or accent with navy for a dramatic look in bedrooms, sitting rooms and more.
Worried a blue room may be too much? Be sure to add equal amounts of light colors to keep the room from being too dark. I like using white with blue for a clean, crisp look. Yellow is blue's complementary color and always looks great; you can vary from pale yellow to a golden color depending on the blue. Other popular combination's are blue paired with brown (tan to chocolate) and grey (mostly silvery grey).
