What goes with your favorite pair of blue jeans? Just about anything!
Perhaps that’s why blue is such a popular design trend in our homes! It’s a more lively neutral that plays well with others.
When it comes to bringing blue inside your home, there are SO many options for pairing other colors with your favorite blue hue:
Monochromatic colors stay in the same color family, but vary the intensity for depth.- Analogous colors are neighboring families on the color wheel: Blue-green and Blue-violet.
- Complementary color is the opposite on the color wheel. For blue, it’s orange (a nice balance of warm/cool tones)
- A Split Complementary approach pairs the two colors on either side of the complementary color: Yellow-orange or red-orange
- Triad colors for blue include yellow and red – think nautical
- Tetrad colors are a group every 4th color on the color wheel: blue, orange, red-violet, and yellow-green
But no need to get hung up on color rules…blue is very forgiving, just like your favorite pair of jeans!
