Blue Living Room

For decades, homeowners have had the misconception that walls must be white, off-white or cream. This is absolutely wrong! You can add an enormous amount of interest and personality to a room by choosing darker shades like country blue, sea foam green and rusty orange. Paint baseboards and other trim a complementary or contrasting color for walls that are appealing and beautiful.

Blue is on the visual level a calm and peaceful color. We think of it in terms of water, sky and universe. For most of us, sky and water give us a sense of familiarity and consequently of security. For many, the universe represents a larger unity and religion. Therefore, this hue expresses security and spiritual devotion. It is the color that leads to introspection and to our very essence. It represents such ideals as selflessness, sympathy, kindness, compassion and dedication. Blue is assigned to the physical body and, on a larger scale, represents the material aspects of life including the planet earth.
