Bedroom in blue tones

Blue bedroom interior project is doomed to success: this color is rich in shades, full of charm, and in combination with other colors it gets a completely unexpected sound.

Blue is the color of compromise. When developing an interior project, the desire for novelty conflicts with the underlying desire for stability. I would like to decorate the bedroom for years - so that after a few years you will smile and breathe a sigh of relief: it's good that it looks just like that, and not otherwise. If this succeeded, then we have a bedroom in blue tones.

It seems that the versatility of blue in the bedroom knows no bounds. The interior can be romantic, modern, practical, tough, sophisticated, elegant, but never boring. Of course, if you study the work of interior designers before developing a project and gain the courage to imitate them.

There is one problem - there are so many magnificent projects for decorating a bedroom in blue that your eyes run wide. In order to somehow structure the masterpieces, we will divide them into groups, well, at least ... according to mood!

What state of mind would you like to experience, to prolong? What kind of atmosphere to plunge into? The answer to the question depends on what the interior of the bedroom in blue tones will be - elegant, pompous, pastoral, minimalist, brutal or cheerful. The only thing that no one can change is that he is always incredibly romantic!

The plan is simple: start with an overview of eternal values, move smoothly to innovations, and then succumb to the nostalgic veil of pseudo-historical interiors. We will follow the mood, but we will find ourselves in fifteen different worlds.

Exquisite nobility of a strict blue bedroom

The bedroom in blue tones happily combines modernity and tradition, but something in this union certainly outweighs. In this case, the clean lines of classic elegance come to the fore.

The orderliness of design, symmetry, strict rhythm in decorating the interior of a bedroom in blue tones have a calming effect on a person. Away with anxiety, doubts, contradictions. We are on an island of stability, surrounded by an exquisite harmony of blue and white.

What is good in the classics: the design techniques are clear and honed to perfection, but the result is always unpredictably unique. This is proved by photos of bedrooms in blue combined with white - you can sort through dozens of projects and not even find two similar ones.

Bedroom design elements in the spirit of European classicism

Have you noticed what all these projects have in common? The techniques used by the designers:

• Straight lines accentuated by moldings.
• Rectangular Wall panels with single color panels.
• Symmetry in the decoration of walls, ceiling, floor.
• Symmetrical or balanced placement of furniture, accessories, mirrors and paintings.
• Traditional furniture made of wood or its imitations, sometimes with bent legs, often painted white or dark blue.
• Noble textiles.
• Traditional chandelier in the center of the room.
• Draperies on the windows, curtains combined with air curtains.
• High window and door openings.
• Restrained color scheme. In the photographs - mostly white-blue, gray-blue, others are soft in contrast.

In the photo of the bedrooms in blue, it is clearly visible that sometimes it is enough to adhere to some of the above rules for the interior to acquire pronounced classic features and slight pomposity.

Would you like to add something more sublime? Divinely perfect? Then we are on our way to antiquity.

Blue bedroom with semi-columns: feel like a goddess

Why not give the bedroom in pale blue tones the features of Olympus and, at least for a moment, feel like a Roman patrician or, in relation to a lady, a beautiful goddess? Minutes can be stretched into years if you arrange the room accordingly.

Consider interiors with a light hint of antiquity, because it is unlikely that anyone would think of installing marble columns in a typical apartment. It is possible to recreate the atmosphere of idle contemplation of beauty with modern means - plaster or polyurethane pilasters, friezes, bas-reliefs and other similar decor. By the way, it is technically easy to install white semi-columns with curls under the ceiling in the bedroom.

Receptions for decorating the antique interior of a blue bedroom

Classics and antiquity in the interior are united by the desire for symmetry. This, perhaps, is where the similarity ends.

Antique bedroom design in blue tones is created through the following techniques:

• Contrast of stucco and walls.
• Lines stretched vertically.
• White pilasters (semi-columns) with a capital.
• Frieze, stucco (sockets) on the ceiling.
• The vertical articulation of the walls is emphasized by artistic stucco, for example, in the form of an amphora.
• A bed of a simple form, possibly with a canopy.
• Furniture on straight turned legs, with rich upholstery.
• Light curtains on the windows, the absence of abundant draperies.

There is no need to follow every item on the list. Why take antique design too seriously if it's an imitation of style and nothing more. But in the blue bedroom (photo), even light curtsies towards antiquity are enough to break away from the ordinary.

Aristocratic bedroom: blue with gold

And you do not miss the Empire? It cannot be said that the palace style is in great fashion today, but the aristocratic bedroom in blue tones looks so fabulous! Moreover, some trends are persistently preparing the public for the return of the Empire style to the modern interior. Only now it is called maximalism.

Unlike antique design, everything in this style is authentic, everything amazes the imagination with lush decor and ornate forms: crystal, solid wood furniture, expensive wallpapers. An exception is cast and stamped stucco molding for decorating the ceiling and walls.

Rules for the transition from empire to maximalism

Some of the arsenal of expressive means "a la empire" is included in the top 50 trends of 2018-2019. Details that make a bedroom in soft blue tones in the spirit of maximalism sharply fashionable:

• Wall upholstery with damask pattern panels.
• Designer wallpaper with a "palace" ornament.
• Golden stylized floral pattern on the blue walls in the bedroom.
• Heavy crystal chandeliers and spotlights.They are presented at fashion shows and are expected to gain mass popularity in the coming years.
• Good solid wood furniture.

Maximalism does not pursue quantity. In the Empire tradition, place a lot of accessories in the room - mirrors, paintings, furniture. In maximalism, it is enough to perform a solid, even somewhat pompous decoration of walls, floors, ceilings and designate a few expensive accents.

For example, a bedroom with blue walls pasted over with “imperial” wallpaper will be decorated with a front mirror in a stucco frame, an armchair and a heavy chandelier. Dressing table, bedside tables and the bed itself - from one set: this "old-fashioned" phenomenon is returning to our lives.

The humble charm of the bourgeoisie

There is some irony in this: the bourgeoisie of the 19th century sought to adopt and adapt the aristocratic style, and the designers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries found attraction in the pseudo-bourgeois “shabby chic” interior, where blue plays a leading role.

What are the techniques for creating shabby chic?

The shade of blue for the shabby chic bedroom is called tiffany, and it is adjacent to pink and gold. The abundance of paintings, decoupage and craquelure, small knick-knacks, roses and angels, as well as deliberately shabby furniture with brand new upholstery make up an ironic ensemble full of charm.

Signs of shabby chic in accessories, which are never enough:

• Color - pink, white, sky blue, tiffany, mint, gold.
• Drawings reminiscent of the palette frescoes or watercolor - roses, peonies, angels.
• The surface of furniture, paintings, caskets, artificially aged with the help of craquelure, patination.
• A lot of "ladies" textiles with ruffles, frills, lace.
• Collectible trinkets that fill the whole room.

This style is very, very expensive, but if the owner of the bedroom in blue tones (photo) has golden hands, then such a room will give her not only comfort, but also ideas for creativity.

The wind of wandering bursts into the windows. Light blue color in the interior of the bedroom is complemented by deep blue, beige and dark brown. The marine theme is present in the design of furniture and accessories.

Frost and sun in the bedroom with blue wallpaper - let's add fire!

The contrast of blue with a range of colors from yellow to red is incredibly emotional.

One of the walls in the bedroom with blue wallpaper in the photo is painted red, and this gives an impetus to decorating the room in an oriental style, boho or tropical ethno.

The energetic neighborhood of blue and orange is appropriate in an optimistic children's bedroom with blue walls. A more relaxed option is a combination of blue and yellow. These contrasts do not contradict the Scandinavian style and enliven the chilly interior. But more suited to the style of functional minimalism, stingy in form, but bold in terms of color.

Tips for using red and blue in the bedroom

The fiery contrast does not in any way contribute to drowsiness. It is justified in the bedroom if it is used as an office or an isolated living room. Combinations of blue with hot pink, red and orange are very fond of travelers, conquered by the exoticism of South Asian countries.

The burning color of the bedroom in blue and orange-red is close to young, active people, those who feel the need for color doping.

Visiting the chess queen

For the Scandinavian interior, blue walls are not typical, but, tinted with white and black in furniture and additions, they do not contradict this urban style.

An interesting design for the "Scandinavian" blue bedroom is shown in the photo - the emphasis is shifted to white textiles with a black contour pattern. Black and white accessories against blue walls enhance the feeling of freshness.

An interesting effect occurs when strict geometry reigns in graphic drawings, as if in a chess mirror from Alice's dream. Also in big fashion are vegetal black and white graphic motifs and intricate lattices. Black subtle motifs help to create perspective in a romantic interior decorated in soft blue. Harmony is achieved by repeating white and black in furniture and accessories.

The laws of color in a Scandinavian bedroom in blue tones

• The white color in the design of the walls and ceiling can be left dominant, emphasizing the accent wall with blue.
• The combination of white and blue certainly requires some dark contours, otherwise the interior loses its dynamics and expressiveness.
• When choosing dark wooden furniture, preference is given to the color of wenge.
• Red, green, yellow accents transform the design, but they must be introduced very delicately.
• Flawless additional color accent - green plants.

The charm of ancient motifs toiles de jouis

There is one interesting but rare direction in Provence design, which relies on the use of toile de jouis textiles. The white and blue fabric palette completely turns the idea of ​​Provencal style: yes, it can be like that!

In fairness, it must be said that this recognizable drawing also exists in red and white, but this is a completely different mood, and a topic for another conversation.

A jacquard monochrome pattern in a characteristic gray-blue hue on a creamy background, which came from antique textiles, is now used in wallpaper and in small accessories, such as lampshades. Sentimental rural landscapes and pastoral scenes form the basis of the plots of the toile de jouis. Sometimes songbirds are woven into them.Do not be surprised by the plots with fish and Chinese houses by the pond - the origins of the toile de juy must be sought in Chinese painting.

How the design of the Provencal bedroom in blue is formed

The decision to use Provencal jacquard in the interior of the room subjugates all other design elements. Here are some win-win solutions:

• The pattern itself is present in textiles or wallpaper, but can also be repeated in furniture upholstery, curtains, and small decor.
• The most effective design of the walls is to outline the panels with moldings and fill the central part of the walls with pale blue toile de jouis wallpaper.
• If the bed is covered with a jacquard bedspread, then the fabric is used somewhere else, for example, in the upholstery of an armchair.
• White and blue furniture in such a bedroom will come in handy.
• An amateur: in the blue and white Provence bedroom, you can put a four-poster bed.
