Blue has made a strong comeback in interiors lately, and even going into fall, when the colors usually get warmer and cozier, it's still topping the trend lists. With neutral fatigue setting in, homes are beginning to once again embrace a palette of richer tones that add character to rooms, which blue does perfectly.

That said, the risk of decorating with blue is that it can feel a bit frosty and unwelcoming. Since it is a cool color, it needs to be balanced carefully with warmer tones, texture, and natural materials, and it's important to choose the right paint shade so it doesn't come across as stark.
