It holds an element of nature as seen in the ocean and the sky. Historically, it has been used in military clothing or, in some countries, to signify royalty and later used as a social staple in the blue jean.
Home furnishings have used blue for its ability to create feelings of stability and masculinity when deep and saturated or brings a calming and serene atmosphere in lighter shades.
Recently, however, there has been a new trend of blues that has been popping up in home accessories, wall coverings and clothing. Bright blues, dark blues, soft blues, green blues, purple blues. . . and they are all enticing and refreshing.
When combined with texture and pattern, blue can really bring your room alive and give you that bold, fresh pop or calm, soothing effect you need. In fact, it can often do both in one space.
