I'm calling chalky blue as the color of the season — and interior designers agree it’s “chic and calming”

Here are three pictures of the chalky blue trend - a bedroom with a rattan bed with white sheets and chalky blue pillows and throws, a living area with a white couch with blue cushions and a large window behind it, and a white entryway with a white and blue striped ceiling and bamboo coat rack.

I've seen the chalky blue trend make waves on socials and in homes everywhere, so I'm officially crowning it the color of the season.

I have quizzed interior designers about the shade, exploring why it's so popular this summer and how you can style it in your home. I've also curated gorgeous chalky blue home buys to help you channel the chic look in your home.
