1. Evoke calming Scandi cool with sky blue

Like the waves of the ocean and the sky on a sunny day, blue brings a sense of peace. What’s not to love about a colour that’s both versatile and calming? Its chill, laidback vibe fits right in with Scandinavian design which favours clean lines and open, airy touches. Bringing in touches of light wood will also highlight this chic, Nordic style.

Choosing the right blue tone is down to the direction of your living room and natural lighting. A cool light blue on the walls helps balance the intensity of light in south-facing rooms. Meanwhile, north-facing rooms need a warmer shade of blue to lighten up the space since they don't get much sunlight.

2. Lighten up for spring with a contemporary pastel twist

Pastels aren’t just girly pinks or light peach tones - let blue have its moment to shine in the bedroom. Compared to pink, peach or yellow, blue tones like sky blue or mint hue with a blue undertone bring a more mature tone to the bedroom - especially if you’re looking for a gender-neutral colour and are sharing a bed. Whether you want to lighten up your bedroom for spring or warm up your room in winter, blue is definitely a favourite for some much-needed relaxation.

It doesn’t matter what style you prefer as blue’s versatility shines with any type of décor. What’s important here is texture - layer, layer, layer! The cosier the textures are in your bedroom the easier it is to doze off.

3. Be bold with trending modern blues

What more can we say about our love for wall slats? They are so simple but uplift the room instantly with their clean, simple lines. It’s an effortless way to introduce biophilic design into the home. With biophilic design becoming more mainstream, expect to see more homes with natural touches like this. Wall slats are also so easy to paint too! If you’re bored of neutral tones, a warm blue will not only give your space a pop of colour but also gives your feature wall an individual touch setting it apart from the rest. Instead of green, your neighbours might just be blue with envy.
