How to make a blue room feel cozy – Blue room decor ideas

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.

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 modern kitchen idea by Solakitchens

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.”
