Finish options
The standard application of blue in the interior is wall decoration. This color makes spacious rooms more comfortable.

Furniture and textile selection
In modern interiors, the arrangement of white furniture on a blue background remains advantageous, which not only looks stylish, but also facilitates the situation. The bedroom with a brown suite creates the effect of a cozy and habitable room. Often these three shades are successfully combined in a marine style.
An excellent solution would be to use blue furniture on an identical background: a cabinet painted the same color as the walls gives an interesting effect, as if dissolving in the setting. Contrast furniture gives the opposite result: for example, a red-blue combination of an armchair or decor against a cornflower wall.

The purpose of the textile in the blue bedroom is to dilute the base and give the interior coziness and texture. A good solution will be the design of windows with tulle, light curtains or blinds. If the blue in the bedroom is accented, pillows and curtains of the same color will be most welcome here. Covers with a geometric pattern look great, as well as colored elements: yellow or orange sofa upholstery, dusty pink or silver pillows.
