Light blue is a very welcome color in any apartment; it will define the year in fashion as well as in makeup; light blue will often turn into a soft pastel violet. A similar rule applies to furniture and home accessories, which undoubtedly follow fashion trends. Light blue relaxes and is reminiscent of the sea, summer vacation, time off, all the beautiful things that soothe your soul; this also makes it perfect for children’s rooms as well as master bedrooms; it makes your dreams nicer. If you like white furniture, you can play around with blue walls and accessories, such as a throw blanket, bedding, pillows, vases, picture frames or even pictures. Also opt for maritime motives, such as lighthouses or themed candle holders, which can bring freshness to an ambient.

Light blue belongs to the cool side of the color spectrum, so it will make your home look simple and tidy. Blue is a good choice for the bathroom, where white and blue tiles are often the go-to combination, and for good reason. Since we’re talking about bathrooms, let me also mention light blue woven laundry baskets, blue towels, even with children’s motifs, small bath rugs and the like. Light blue can also be the choice of color of your kitchen, where it will seem French and chic; if you happen to like a shabby chic style, you’re going to love it. Again, light blue goes well with white, no matter where you are. Wallpaper and rugs are a good choice, they’re not hard to clean; a little more demanding and delicate, perhaps, but it’s no science fiction.

Especially in the summer, light blue seems particularly fresh and appropriate. You can create a reading or relaxation corner and decorate it with some light blue furniture, maybe just paint a wall this color, or play around with light blue throw pillows and candles. It’s definitely a color that goes well with dark blue, green, pink and yellow, but it’s best to stick to light and soft shades, because you won’t get tired of them as quickly. If you dare to be super trendy, combine it with a light purple wisteria shade, you won’t regret it. This is the ambient in which you’ll be the most creative and the most happy in.

3 thoughts on “How to brighten up your apartment with some light blue touches”
Natural light is cool compared with yellow-toned incandescent bulbs, so adding blue gives a pleasing crispness that reminds us of the sky. Plus, cool blue is neutral enough to work with nearly any accent color you want to toss in.
Washing walls with light helps keep the edges bright, so even if you have lots of pot lights or ceiling lights, consider adding sconces with shades that aim light upward and downward. This powder room feels bright despite its lack of windows, thanks to the warm glow of a pair of sconces.
When trying to brighten a dark space, many people look to mirrors to reflect light around a room. But that’s actually a bit of a design myth. The best way to scatter light is by using lots of white, because the non-hue doesn’t absorb any color. Instead, white sends as much light as possible bouncing indirectly back to other surfaces. So if it’s brightness you seek, the first thing you should do is paint your walls and ceiling white.
