I used to think a pale blue living room was something you'd only tend to see in coastal-style interiors. It felt like it would be a hard shade to complement, and the risk of the room feeling washed out and cold was simply too high.
But it turns out I was wrong. Opting for a blue living room in its lightest incarnation is one of the most versatile color choices you can make. 'Blue is an expansive color we see in nature each and every day, so as a familiar tone to our eye, it's no wonder we are naturally drawn to it,' says interior designer Matthew Williamson. 'It's easy and polite, without being boring.'
