Accent Light-Blue: Home Interior Design

Today's all about light blue. It's an amazing range of tones. All excessively calming. And they carry a multitude of associations. You can imagine a setting in Greece, something coastal or beachy, some old distressed blue wooden furniture found in a country barn somewhere, or even something South Western towards the turquoise end of the range. It's very versatile thematically, isn't it. As with most color, I prefer injections of it. Not all over the place, but just a pop of light blue here and there. And fortunately it's the perfect color for that. Where red for instance may be too powerful even in small doses. And green may get minty or look too deliberately chosen. Light blue has a funny way of seeming natural and acting neutrally even though it's not neutral at all. Perhaps it's the universality of it. Sea, sky, etc.
