The design community is notoriously hungry for new trends, leaving no stone unturned in its pursuit of innovation. Behr, anticipating the industry’s insatiable appetite for information, has provided a sneak preview of what’s to come in 2019. Blueprint, described as ‘warmer than denim and softer than navy,’ is poised to dominate decor choices next year. With our selection of ten interiors featuring this rich blue hue, it’s clear that its popularity may be on the rise. What are your thoughts?
Elegance Showing Horns
As you gaze upon the Blueprint’s harmonious design, it’s as if the space itself has taken on an air of refinement. The ornate mantelpiece, with its delicate details and subtle nuance, is perfectly at home amidst this refined backdrop. To further enhance the sense of elegance, consider adding golden accents – such as a mirror frame – to lend warmth and depth to the overall aesthetic.
Meanwhile, balance out the classic charm with a dash of modernity by incorporating minimalist furniture pieces that provide a clean and unobtrusive counterpoint to the space’s ornate features. And finally, add a touch of whimsy with the addition of antlers – or perhaps another decorative element that speaks to your unique vision and aesthetic sensibilities.
Perfect in Imperfection
By embracing the principles of Wabi-Sabi, we can create a harmonious fusion of design elements that blend seamlessly together. One such approach is to incorporate an ombre wall featuring gradual transitions from one shade of blue to another. This innovative idea not only combines three popular trends – statement walls, Wabi-Sabi and Blueprint – but also offers a cost-effective and speedy way to transform your interior space. The result?
A stunning visual effect that can elevate even the most mundane bathroom into a serene oasis.
Cooking with Blueprint
Whether your kitchen boasts a sleek Scandinavian aesthetic or is filled with the warm, rustic charm of Modern Farmhouse decor, Blueprint’s versatility ensures it will seamlessly integrate into any setting. By applying this soothing shade to your cabinetry, you’ll instantly elevate the entire space, imbuing it with a fresh, airy quality that beautifully complements the often dominant white hues.
The wooden beams on the ceiling cleverly interrupt the cold color palette, creating an intriguing contrast that adds depth and visual interest. This clever trick is sure to delight fans of the farmhouse style.
Modern Chic
In DIMORE STUDIO’s latest endeavour, Blueprint effortlessly blends into an refined atmosphere. The harmonious union of Mid-Century Modern elements with bold contrasting colours – specifically, the vibrant orange and rich maroon hues – produces a visually stunning effect. The pièce de résistance is the thoughtful combination of statement lighting, a show-stopping golden palm-shaped ornament, and a patterned curtain that collectively elevate the whimsical arrangement to new heights.
Blueprint Upholstered
While it’s common for blue to adorn walls, it can also be a stunning accent on textiles like upholstery for couches and armchairs. When paired with a crisp white base and a vibrant Moroccan rug, a pop of blue adds a dash of character to the space. The addition of armchairs in a bold blue hue transforms this living room from a straightforward Farmhouse style to an intriguingly eclectic one.
Meanwhile, the warm brown wooden ceiling and deep sapphire accents create a harmonious union that’s sure to catch the eye.
A Designer’s Choice
The creator of ‘Room for Tuesday’ blog opted for cold blue as the primary color palette, cleverly injecting life into the Scandinavian-inspired space. The herringbone floor’s French flair was perfectly complemented by the bold hue, which also brought a touch of sophistication to the minimalist furniture. Painting the walls and pieces in this soothing shade resulted in a stunning designer effect that tied the entire room together.
Paint the Sky
Embrace the statement ceiling trend of 2018 and take your interior design to new heights – literally! If you’re hesitant about incorporating blueprint patterns on walls or furniture, why not try extending them upwards towards the ceiling? This design approach can add a touch of excitement to an otherwise conservative space. A perfect example of this concept is a kitchen designed by Muro Rojo Arquitectura, where Moroccan tiles with blue accents seamlessly transition into the ‘great blue’ above.
The wooden suspended ceiling cleverly balances the color scheme, preventing it from overwhelming the room and instead allowing it to harmoniously complement the space.
In Service of Beauty
The powder room presents another ideal setting for embracing Blueprint’s majestic charm. The opulent hue reminiscent of Marie Antoinette’s lavish vanity is sure to transport every woman into a realm of regality. As previously showcased, the harmonious union of gold and blue can be seen in one of the earlier interior designs, where a blue-painted dressing table paired with gold accents resulted in an even more resplendent royal ambiance.
Blueprint the Transformer
Blueprint’s versatility is evident as it seamlessly transitions from simple to country-house interiors. When incorporated into a bathroom featuring white tiles, wooden accents, and an exposed sink, the introduction of blue paint injects a much-needed splash of personality. What would otherwise be a straightforward Farmhouse aesthetic undergoes a transformation, courtesy of the judicious application of contrasting colors.
A Blue Lullaby
As a calming influence, blue is often overlooked when it comes to designing nurseries. However, incorporating this soothing hue can create a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for little ones. In Blueprint, blue walls, a carpet or armchair can be used to bring in the trend while also evoking a sense of serenity. To balance out the cool tones, the designer paired blue with subtle touches of gold and brown, creating a harmonious space that’s both calming and inviting.
