Arguably blue is the most universally liked color and it comes in a variety of shades sure to suit even the pickiest people. The versatility of the color makes it a top pick for interior designers and Beth Haley Design is no exception. Using these well-loved color, we transformed rooms with bright finishes that range from soft, soothing sky blue to brilliant, eye-catching cobalt and deep and stormy navy. As it is a color that is well-suited for bathrooms, kitchens, offices and bedrooms, we chose six recent interior design, kitchen renovation and bathroom remodel projects by Beth Haley Design to showcase different hues of blue, each is sure to cure your winter doldrums and inspiration your next project.
A Touch of Cobalt
Cobalt is an ideal shade for those looking for a bold addition to their neutral interiors. These bright-blue painted chairs energize the design, and by sticking to statement pieces, Beth Haley Design created a focal point without overwhelming the room with color. A nearby leather sectional is topped with blue pillows to create cohesiveness in the open concept design.
A Soothing Shade
Choose a subtle, light blue for a calming color that is approachable and timeless. Relaxing colors are essential in a home office where you spend long, stress-filled days. Textured walls bring dimension to the walls in this office space, and a blue rug is another layer of texture and color.
Blues in the Bathroom
If you aren’t ready to use color in your central living spaces, Beth Haley suggests starting in a smaller area (such as a powder room); you can’t go wrong with walls painted in your favorite color. In this bathroom renovation, countertops pack an extra punch of personality and color.
Blue Accents
Whether you’re ready to paint your whole home blue or are hesitant to abandon a neutral design, Beth Haley knows easy ways to introduce color. Add a small vase to your kitchen, and fill it with fresh stems — this is a sure-fire way to cure your winter blues.
Bright Backsplash
After months of cooking at home and takeout, we have learned that it is more important than ever to enjoy your space. If your kitchen calls for a refresh, consider a colorful backsplash in a bold blue. Need inspiration? Look no farther than this Hispanic-inspired design.
A Colorful Kitchen
A blue with grey undertones will brighten a kitchen and pair well with classic, white countertops and backsplash. In this recently renovated kitchen, cabinets stretch from the floor to the ceiling and boast the loveliest shade of blue.
