Blue Living Room Ideas

The color blue creates a calming, calm atmosphere in a room, so it makes sense that it should be such a popular choice for living rooms. After all, when you’re entertaining guests, you want to calm them down. When the right color sets the tone, you can take advantage of the effects. Even the fashion world is taking a blue cue – Pantone’s Spring 2016 color report features three shades – Serenity, Snorkel Blue, and Limpet Shell – ranging from sky blue to bright navy to aqua.

But rest assured – blue living rooms are not a fad. These calm hues are easy to live with so unlike the contents of your closet, you won’t question your choices until next season.
