Hi Artsies❤
Today the blog is about my favourite colour, blue?. My favourite colour is robin egg blue particularly(the same blue used on Tiffany boxes). I’m absolutely obsessed with this colour, I mean look?.
I started loving the colour as a child when I was continuously being told that pink is for girls and I kept wondering why isn’t blue for girls too, I actually am not too fond of the colour pink however that is another story altogether.
Anyway before I start only writing about Robin Egg Blue and how amazing it is, we will continue with the original Blue in all it’s shades and apprises(see what I did there, instead of shapes and sizes? Lol).
Blue psychology as per the link below which explains a few colours :
This is an amazing mix of colours. Please never make everything one colour, it’ll always turn out as an over powering negative emotion instead of what it is meant to do. I love the white and navy blue feel. I’m not one who likes seeing dirt and white gets dirty quick(unless you are a neat freak, which I am not), so I would go for a light grey rather than white.
Example – slightly more pale however still calming :
I love the rustic feel in the above picture.
My obsession with this blue with the white wood on the lower half of the wall, I feel like people always want to restrict decor to obvious things like tile everywhere. Please be innovative, google what you want and you’d be shocked at what you find.
I believe tranquility and calmness needs to also be in the room we’re mostly in at home, the lounge.
Example – See the rustic feel again :
Even if it’s not on the walls or on the furniture itself, it can always be accented in the rug and scatter cushions which can be switched when seasons change as well(you can check my previous post for colour ideas – http://interiors.artsyuntold.co.za/2017/07/31/colour-vs-feelings/ and I will clarify in detail in a future post).
Example : I love the wood on the wall/tv stand? :
And again white is not my colour, it’s beautiful to the eye but not to the wash.
I will be posting all these colours again with furniture and accessories, because if I do it in one post then you’ll be reading a book.
For now this is my post on Blue Loving because I love me some blue?.
Thank you for reading Artsies❤
So I had just recently heard about fish scale tiles. Girrrrl the glue and green combination with that particular tile in a bathroom is breathtaking.
For some reason blue in a bedroom makes the room look nice BUT a tad small. The grey blue makes the room look a lil cold. But blue in a TV room is naaaarce.
The way I’m loving this blog. It’s making me love interior design so much more… Sigh lol
Looking forward to the next blog. Please show me how you would design black. That Color always just leaves me stiff. I look I forward to your take on that. ?
I will check out the fish scale tiles, I can just imagine. I am literally obsessed with blue, I love it in the bedroom for summer especially if it’s a East facing bedroom. Always gives the illusion of a cooler bedroom. I’m happy your love for Interiors is more now because of the blog, we should definitely share more. Black is one of the last colours I’m doing hey, but you will be the first to know.
