Dark blue wall? Are you sure? In this post, we take a look at blue living room ideas. For too long, blue walls have had a bad reputation. They were perceived as cold and uninviting. Not a particularly welcoming color, especially on a cold winters night.

However, times change and so do trends. Blue is as popular as ever and the versatility is fully on display on the images below.

From a decor perspective, there is a psychological benefit. The color blue is considered to be incredibly beneficial to the body and the mind. It is a very calming color palette that is associated with calm skies and calm sea’s.

However, if done right, blue shades can produce a spectacular effect. Warm, inviting and very stylish. Combine the blue tone with accent pieces, contrasting colors, natural materials, golds and copper and you are in for a very individual, yet stylish space.

This is a brave color choice given how dark it is, but I have to say that it works well in this sitting room. The color shade has a matte flat finish, which I think helps. The huge windows really make this work, introducing plenty of light into the space which offsets the natural darkness of the blue.

Notice that the ceiling remains white, this is always a good idea when you have very dark colors on the accent wall. It illuminates that natural light in the room and adds some depth to the blue paint color. The accent pillows in blue help to add consistency on the brown living room sofa. It helps to have that consistency…therefore, blue pillows with a blue color scheme. You may also want to consider these grey and blue living room ideas.
