Feeling Blue

I don’t know what it is about blue in a space that excites me but it is my opinion that you can never go wrong with having blue in your home.  Whether it is in the form of a paint choice, cabinetry, furniture, upholstery or window treatments, blue is a winner.  One could say I am drawn to it because it is my favorite color but when I see an interior space that utilizes blue in its design, my heart skips a beat. Blue is not typically considered a neutral color, as we have been programmed to accept it as masculine but I have seen it used in many spaces that definitely imply a soft and feminine quality. Blue lands on the cooler spectrum of the color wheel but can be paired with warmer shades to create an inspired space.  I typically prefer deeper shades of the hue but I find the lighter shades to be equally as inviting and occasionally, even, exciting.
