Wild Blue Yonder

After reading the most current issue of Luxe Interior+Design magazine that featured Mary McDonald's blue guest house living space (first photo below), I couldn't help but fall in love with this classic, stately color all over again.

What are your feelings on blue? Have you used it in your home or projects? If so, I would love to see how you have incorporated this noble color!

Using dark blue for your interior can create feelings of:
1) Relaxation
2) Enthusiasm
3) Organization & Order
4) Strength of mind

Some tips when using blue:
1) Good for working zones as it creates feelings of organization.
2) Using light blue on a ceiling can make a space seem more spacious and expansive.
3) Not recommended for rooms where the windows leave to the east and west. This will make your space seem dark and gloomy.
4) Paired with gold = magnificent and noble.
5) Paired with yellow = pleasure.
6) Paired with grey = warm and cozy.
7) Great for children's spaces as it creates a high-tech, modernist space.
