Colour Trend - Gentian Blue

Blue is definitely the colour to be seen in this season and this has translated from the catwalk straight into home interiors with a wide variety of soft and bold blue colour palettes. GENTIAN BLUE is a bright and cheerful colour tone that is sure to create a fresh Mediterranean inspired feel in any room of the home. The floral based colour will look wonderful in both modern and traditional interiors for a stylish and eye-catching finish.

For a classic look, team gentian blue with crisp white for a Greek inspired colour palette that will transform you straight back to your relaxed and warm summer holidays. If you prefer a more sophisticated and masculine look then why not partner gentian blue with a selection of grey tones ranging from soft dove grey to deep and dark charcoal. Floral colour palettes will work well alongside gentian blue and can be used to create a bright and botanical feel within the home. Opt for soft lilacs, freesia, green and yellow that can be teamed with bright and vibrant floral wallpaper for added visual detail. For a more fun and funky look then why not opt for bold geometric blue and monochrome wallpaper or retro print wallpaper in gentian blue, red and yellow that will look great in a modern minimal home.

If you love period style interior design they why not add an oversized pair of gentian blue curtains to your living room, dining room or bedroom in heavy velvet or satin fabrics. These can be teamed with some plain satin and velvet blue cushions or baroque and rococo style patterns and prints that will add a burst of colour to your room while keeping the classic and traditional style. For a more bold and modern feel then select striped or chevron style curtains and rugs and team with some neon coloured cushions that will create a vibrant, contemporary look within your chosen room. For a twist of historic charm then choose some bedding or throws in a simple gentian blue and white colour scheme featuring a traditional Greek key design that is sure to create a focal point within your bedroom interior.

Simple crisp white furniture will work perfectly with this bold blue colour scheme and will create a sense of space and light in more compact home interiors. Opt for white painted furniture for a classic look and finish or select white high gloss items for a sleek and modern design. Oak furniture will add a more traditional and rustic feel to your chosen room and is in keeping with the Mediterranean balance of colour and natural materials. You can include some simple white accessories in your chosen space or why not add some Greek style vases and urns for a traditional design. Silver or mirrored accessories will also compliment this bold blue colour tone and can be used to create an open and reflective space in any room of the home.
