There was an extensive survey that was conducted by YouGov, and the results of this survey show that the color blue is the most popular color in 10 countries. China is also among blue-loving countries which might come as a surprise because they are known for their strong love of the color red. What is it about this color that makes us love it so much? Not only is it associated with the feelings of peace and harmony, but it can also help bring a sense of tranquility and calm to a troubled mind. When you paint a room blue, it can make people who stay in this room feel relaxed and serene.

This is one of the oldest combinations in the world, and it’s pretty natural because we tend to associate the color blue with sky and sea, and the color white with light. The combination of white and denim blue will look amazing in your bedroom and it will help you fall asleep more easily. You can achieve this by painting the walls but also by using white and blue bed sheets and curtains. If you’re thinking about painting your child’s bedroom, you can add details in bright yellow as well, as it will bring vibrancy.
Blue and red
For people who like daring colors and color combinations, combining rainstorm blue with bright red might be just the thing. It will add a new life and a sense of balance to a room, but the most important thing is to pick the shades carefully, as the wrong shades will clash and contrast too much. You can always consult experts from BCJ Painting and they will be able to help you to choose colors that will complement rather than contrast each other. Combining cold and hot colors is exciting but challenging, and you want to end up with the feeling of harmony and strength.
Blue and black
When you want to pair any color with black, you should first make sure the room you want to paint is spacious enough, so that it doesn’t appear too small by the end and make you feel claustrophobic. On the other hand, the right shade can give depth to your home. Black is elegant, mysterious, and neutral, and it will make blue look different. Bottle blue pairs nicely with black, but you can also try turquoise and add a few metallic accessories for a touch of luxury.
To help you find the perfect shade of blue for your home, we have put together a brief list and given you a few suggestions on how to combine blue to get the best effect. Fortunately, there are many other shades to choose from, and you will probably be able to find the one that’s going to look perfect in any room of your home that you choose to paint. If you’re not sure whether you’re making the right choice, you can always consult an interior designer and ask for advice.
