Colour Trend - Polar Blue

A POLAR BLUE colour scheme is a hot trend this winter season and it is perfect for creating a crispy and icy feel in any room of the home. The glacial feel of this cool blue colour tone will look amazing in both traditional and contemporary homes and its reflective illumination means that it works particularly well in small or darker rooms of the home.

Key colour partners: white, grey and silver.

Key Fabrics: velvet, satin and cotton.

Key Furniture: white and grey painted, white high gloss and mirrored.

This is a truly wintery and Scandinavian inspired colour scheme that is sure to create a sense of space and light and a hint of colour within your chosen room. For a simple and clean feel in your interior space then team polar blue with simple bright white for a crispy and fresh interior design. For a more cosy, Nordic inspired look within your home then partner polar blue with a selection of frosted grey colours that will create a homely and wintery feel within your chosen space. Select nature inspired wallpapers featuring trees and branches for a classic winter design or why not add a modern geometric wallpaper that will take pride of place on a main feature wall and will look even more amazing with hints of metallic silver.

Velvet makes a great choice of fabric in any winter home interior as it creates a cosy and rich ambiance in which to relax. A large and heavy set of polar blue velvet curtains will create a splash of colour within your chosen room and can be accentuated with grey or silver tie backs for an opulent look or natural hessian and rope for a more Scandinavian inspired design. Polar blue satin cushions will look amazing on a plain grey sofa or a crisp white bed to create a fresh and glacial feel within your room. You can team these with a selection of grey, white and polar blue fair isle patterned cushions and mix and match with some grey faux fur cushions, throws and rugs to complete your Nordic look.

Grey and white painted furniture make a perfect partner to a polar blue interior colour scheme and create a sense of cosiness while still maintaining a fresh and illuminating feel. For a more modern interior look then why not opt for some white high gloss furniture items that will create a sleek and sophisticated finish in your chosen room. If you prefer a more opulent and glamorous feel in your home interiors then select some striking mirrored furniture items such as a large table, chest of drawers or a dressing table that will create a sense of illuminating luxury that works particularly well in bedroom interiors. Include some silver chandeliers and lamps and pair with some mirrored or grey and white painted frames, plaques, candleholders and ornaments for a simple yet stylish finish.
