When it comes to introducing bold colour at home, deep blue is a classic choice that never goes out of style.

We’re not talking about pastel hues or grey-blues. Here, the emphasis is on rich navy blue, midnight, indigo and teal hues. The bolder the better! These deep tones lend depth, character and atmosphere to any space, and expertly straddle contemporary style, with a timeless feel.

Deep blue is a surprisingly versatile option for many styles of home. Simply put – it never looks out of place! Whether your home is modern or traditional in style, you’ll find blue easy to integrate. After all – blue reflects the sky, the ocean, and so much of the world around us.

 

Blue is an excellent accent colour to use in a predominantly white home. In heritage or mid century homes, flank a bold blue wall with crisp white skirting and cornicing. This enables you to introduce blue in quite a dramatic way, yet contain the colour seamlessly to one room or wall, as seen in this Melbourne family home, where Dulux Biro Blue makes a statement in the dining room! If you’re pairing white and blue in this way, choose a cool white to perfectly complement your blue accent colour.

Bedrooms are particularly well suited to the calm, relaxed energy that deep blue can bring to a space. In this cosy, eclectic Melbourne home.

Dulux Companion brings a sense of serenity to the bedroom, and also acts as the perfect backdrop for a collection of vintage artwork and collectibles.

Finally, blue is forgiving. It’s a calming hue but it’s also robust and family friendly, and brings cohesion to rooms that need a confident colour injection to tie everything together. Blue is like an old friend – forever reliable!
