If you’re a fan of the color blue, 2019 is your year. We’re only a few months in, but blue décor and blue accents are in style right now. From picture frames to large wall pieces, there are a few reasons to consider incorporating blue in at least a few rooms around the home.

To Bring The Beach Home

Most of us can’t afford to take trips to the beach all the time, but we can still bring the beach home in a small way with the right pieces. Sentiment art with the right message makes us feel like we’re sitting in a chair planted in the sand. Unique wall plaques can have the same mesmerizing effect as crashing waves. There’s something beautiful about time spent along the coast, and there’s something equally wonderful about recreating the entire feeling at home.

Is there anything quite like that coastal feel?

For A Soothing Feel

Even if you’re not the biggest fan of the beach, blue is still a color you’ll want to look at adding. From the cooler side of the color spectrum, blue is simply a soothing color. A couch with blue pillows and throws is so inviting. Those soft shades make you want to sit down and stay there for a long time. Blue wall décor and small picture frames are easy on the eyes. Seriously, you can inspire serenity by merely adding the right hints of blue.

It Goes Well With Other Colors

Whether it’s a mirrored plaque on a white wall or a pillow on a cream couch, blue items seem to complement other colors perfectly. Fresh floral looks even more alive when it’s placed by the right shade of blue. We also appreciate how calming blue pieces appear when they meet items made of wood.

If you’re concerned blue may clash with your color scheme, we’re confident you can find a place to make it work.
