Blue is the New Black {Hot Trend}

You know what time it is... TREND ALERT TIME. Color is probably one of the most impactful ways of affecting the overall feeling of an interior space. Whether you're going for a sense of airiness, edge, energy, or calm, the hues you use can get you there. We've noticed a trend this year towards, you guessed it, navy blue. Pushing black out of the way, navy has taken on the role of being the dark neutral we all need. Blue is the new black.

In the bedroom

Navy brings the drama in dark walls, bedding, and upholstered headboards. Restoration Hardware takes the color to new heights with an over-the-top tufted bed.

In the kitchen

Navy feels classic and stately on cabinetry with warm metal drawer pulls. Pair it with white tile, counter tops, and furnishings to create contrast.

In the living room

Navy can go coastal and light by using it sparingly in patterns across an otherwise white and neutral space. If moody and intimate is more your style, cover the walls. Navy has lots of applications in the bathroom. Deepen the room with an inky tone on the walls, geometric tiles in a shower, or perhaps with this GORGEOUS navy blue claw foot tub from Rejuvenation.This trend is one we can really get on board with. Dress your room in navy and you'll have a space that feels elegant and bold.Follow my blog with BloglovinWant to try this but need help in figuring it all out? That's why we are here.
