Cool and calm colour schemes are great at creating a space where we can sit back and relax. This season BLUE ASH is set to be a favourite colour choice due to its subtle dusky finish and mellow colour that will look fabulous in a wide variety of homes. The smoky blue finish will compliment the home and gives an elegant look that is sophisticated and chic.
Colour Palettes
For a simple and clean looking room then team blue ash with soft white or dove grey for a light yet tonal room that perfectly balances neutral and colourful hues. If you prefer a more rich and masculine look then why not partner blue ash with deep navy or cobalt blue for an opulent finish that can be paired with copper or gold accents for a hint of illumination. Soft pastel tones will give a more delicate and feminine feel to your chosen room while warm mustard, orange and beige will create a more classic retro vibe in your home.
Cushions
This cool tone has a slightly coastal feel that can be embraced by adding a selection of blue ash and white striped cushions alongside nautical inspired prints that will create a relaxed and refined look in your living room or bedroom interior. For a more soft and subtle look then opt for a scattering of floral and botanical cushions in blue ash and pastel hues for an elegant and uplifting look. This colour will also compliment a Scandinavian inspired home and can be teamed with crisp white and tonal grey faux fur cushions for a cosy and inviting finish.
Upholstery
Coloured upholstery can often feel a little scary for those who are used to simple white or cream but a selection of blue ash coloured fabrics will add just the right amount of colour without overpowering your interior space. A simple blue ash cotton material will look great on a classic sofa or armchair while blue ash satin or velvet will make a fabulous addition to a silver, white or black carved dressing table chair, giving a glamorous and opulent finish. For a country inspired room then select some blue ash and beige striped fabric that will add a traditional feel to some oak, grey or white painted dining chairs.
Accessories
The beauty of this soft blue colour is that it works so well with a variety of home accessories. For a crisp and sleek design then a selection of simple white ceramics will look great positioned against a blue ash feature wall or alcove area. Copper and rose gold accessories that are another big trend this season will give a fabulous metallic finish alongside the soft dusky backdrop and create a contemporary feel in your chosen room. For a more natural Scandinavian feel then select some natural wood vases, candleholders and whitewashed oak frames that will give a cosy and calming feel to your home.
Furniture
Solid oak furniture will give a cosy, cottage style feel to a blue ash home interior and will create a focal point in any room of the home. If you wish to create a sense of space and light in your interior then select some crisp white or light grey painted furniture items that will compliment the dusky tonal walls. For a minimal and modern look then some clear glass furniture will create the illusion of space within your room and gives a designer finish that is sleek and contemporary.
