Sailing near to neutral but with a swell of uplifting blue hued accents, these two modern home interiors are serene and mood-boosting spaces. Featuring a range of complementary tones, from bright cobalt to pale pastel, blue decor details provide a modern palette that’s full of positive personality. Looking beyond the colour story, we explore room interiors that are styled with contemporary furnishings and balanced with a classic infusion of chic wall moulding. Grey, white and wood tone make calm companions for blue elements in our first home tour, whilst our second home design is injected with contrasting bolts of yellow that serve to exaggerate the dominant blue theme.
Located in Moscow, Russia, this 54 square metre home is a modern space that’s coloured with a serene spectrum of blue, pale greys, white and light wood tone. Bright cobalt blue throw pillows add jolts of vibrant colour along a grey upholstered sofa, whilst pastel blue paintwork envelops a classic panel moulded feature wall with an unusually camouflaged door.
