Can you make a blue room cozy?
Painting your walls blue can make your room feel dark and cozy, or light and airy depending on what shade of paint you use. From soft blue that can still give the room a bright look alongside dark furnishings, to dark blue wall paints with ambient lighting to create a super cozy feel.
Our ideas below give you inspiration on many ways to decorate a blue room, including cozy hues and airy colours to make your space your sanctuary.
Royal blue bedroom idea
Decorate a Victorian bedroom in blue for a royal touch. Start with blue walls and incorporate other colours to compliment the space. We love this modern but traditional blue bedroom with antique furnishings that makes the space utterly unique and full of character. Furthermore, adding other nature inspired hues like green and browns will warm up a blue bedroom.
Bright blue living room
Paint colour used: Stone Blue by Farrow & Ball
For a bright and airy blue room, opt for a warm yet bright shade of blue like Farrow & Ball Stone Blue shade. For a vintage look, use this on your walls and fireplace and pair with wood accents.
Soft blue hallway
Paint colour used: Winter Wonderland by Valspar
For a subtle blue look for a hallway, consider a dark pastel blue that is perfect as a base colour for introducing fun colours to the space. We love this colourful hallway painted with Valspar Winter Wonderland paint and styled with a rainbow of shades for instant fun and happy decor through artwork and furnishings.
Calming blue living room decor
Using furnishing to colour a room is a great way to create depth. Start with light blue walls and decorate from there. Just like this beautiful design that has light blue walls and uses rich blue furnishings like velvet sofas, vintage rugs and textured cushions to complete the look.
Two tone blue kitchen colour idea
Two tone kitchens are great for adding depth and contrast to the room whilst sticking with one primary colour scheme.
“The tonal blue palette complements the piracema granite on the worktop – a homely yet chic choice – meanwhile, a selection of high end appliances such as the Gaggenau oven and induction hob were specified to suit the cooks in the family.”

Rich blue colour schemes around the home adds sophistication and elegance to a room and can really shape the interior styling. Like this beautiful Victorian style living room that has been painted and decorated in rich, inky blue hues for a dramatic and warm look.

Create a relaxing aesthetic in the dining room by combining dark grey and blue walls together for a soft look. We love this dark blue feature wall with a fireplace that adds colour and depth.
