If you like regal and sophisticated colour schemes then an OXFORD BLUE colour palette will create a rich and colourful ambiance in both modern and traditional home interiors. This deep and dark blue colour is dusky and smooth and will create a masculine ambiance in any room of the home. Rich colour schemes are a hot trend this year and are sure to create visual impact within your home interior. From upholstery and fabrics to furniture and accessories; this look is sure to add a refined style to your home interior.
For a classic and refined interior design then partner oxford blue with simple antique white or dove grey to create a perfect contrast between light and dark. This can be teamed with simple striped wallpaper for a clean and bright interior finish. If you prefer a more rich and masculine finish in your chosen room then why not pair oxford blue with deep grey and charcoal for a tonal, period style finish. Pair with Rococo or Fleur-De-Lys wallpaper with hints of metallic silver for a luxurious and glamorous look. For a more fresh and feminine interior look then add some botanical colours such as peach, lilac, mint and duck egg blue to deep oxford blue and opt for a bold floral wallpaper to compliment the garden inspired colour palette.
If you have a plain or neutral home interior that needs a facelift then deep and rich oxford blue soft furnishings will create depth and a burst of colour within your chosen room. A set of oxford blue and white striped curtains will add a focal point on a plain white feature wall and will create a fresh coastal style feel within your home. This can be teamed with nautical inspired cushions, bedding and throws featuring anchors, boats and shells for a fun visual feature. For a more soft and tonal look then opt for some oxford blue and grey cushions in simple cotton or linen fabrics and team with some grey faux fur designs that will add warmth and cosiness to any living room or bedroom interior.
Classic oak furniture will look great with a deep oxford blue colour scheme and will create a traditional feel that is perfect for a wide variety of interior designs. For a more fresh and illuminating look then why not choose some white painted furniture that is chic and elegant or white high gloss furniture for a more sleek and contemporary interior design. Grey painted furniture will also compliment the deep and dusky tones of an oxford grey colour scheme and will create a masculine feel with a hint of rustic country charm. You can complete your room with a selection of silver or chrome accessories such as lighting and ornaments or include some mirror framed photos, wall art and mirrors for a more glamorous and modern interior look.
