Blue Walls

February 03, 2014



Hi, hi!!!  I sure missed you, the internet and everyone really!!  We have been in our own little bubble since our move earlier this week.  Our new home is so well insulated we don't even have cell phone coverage inside the house.  We just got Internet up and running so I promise to Instagram some shots soon.  Boxes and mess aside I wanted to join in The Pink Pagoda's Blue and White Bash today and since we painted our living room walls a dark blue I thought it would be a great idea to round-up some fabulous blue wall inspiration.  I'm using all my old furniture but will need to reupholster a few pieces so I need all the inspiration I can get.  I do have the monochromatic theme in my head....or do I go bold with contrast.....


What do you think?  Monochromatic? or Contrast?  How have you all been?  Do tell!!

    I love it! Especially the first one with the huge pop of yellow art piece. Im in the process of moving and we are painting an accent wall deep blue (almost black) and I have been trying to think of what would look good hanging up against it!

    You are definitely the kink of girl to rock the blue high gloss walls and probably monochromatic. I am a contrast kinda gal. Hope the move went well.

    This is one of my dream colors, and that second interior is my dream interior, the glossy walls and the sofa in the same shade are just a stunning pair. I cannot wait to see your home!!! Should I start a countdown?!

    I am a sucker for deep blue walls and recently used it in my son's room. I love your inspiration shots.

    I think the look of blue walls is super cool–especially in a deep, glossy navy!

    Such a tough decision! I loooove monochromatic I think it's so chic but then I also love the combo of blue, yellow, black and gold and also the contrast of a stark white with blue.

    I know whatever you decide will be fabulous! Can't wait to see!

    Yes!! I can't get enough navy lately. We just finished painting our home office navy this weekend and I love it! I have to say I'm a big fan of the contrast. Our trim is white, so it really pops against the dark walls. We're planning to put a big oak desk and lots of leather to keep it masculine.

    We used to have a dark blue statement wall and I wish we had had more white/light furniture/etc. for contrast. I love the idea of a white/cream couch in front of a dark blue wall! Can't wait to see what you do with the new place!

    The monocromatics above look good, but white with blue can't be beat.

    The walls in our bedroom are a dark blue and I adore the cozy environment they create! I added raspberry (along with some neutrals) for a pop of color and love the contrast!
