Recently, we endured an icy winter storm that caused the majority of those affected to stay home. During this dreary mess, I decided to rummage through my fabrics for some refreshing inspiration. While I was searching, I noticed that I was drawn to my blue patterned fabrics. <\/p>\n

Navy, cobalt, and powder blue are huge color this year and for great reason. Shades of blue seem to never to go out of style. Blue is much like a neutral and can be used in several d\u00e9cor styles and can be coupled with a variety of colors. It serves as a great base color for your d\u00e9cor, much like black, white, beige, and gray, and makes the perfect accent color. And because it is similar to a neutral, it can stand alone, used with all blue d\u00e9cor and accessories. Also, by using several monochromatic patterned fabrics together you can create an elegant, dramatic look.<\/p>\n

However, if you’re looking to add an extra punch of color, several shades of blue coordinate ideally with the new 2014 Pantone Colors of the Year: Radiant Orchid, Placid Blue, Hemlock, Sand, Cayenne, Violet Tulip, Paloma, Freesia, Celosia Orange, and Dazzling Blue. It also looks stunning with gold and hot pink, creating a glam look!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
