There is something so classic to me about blue and black. This can be a tricky pairing if the colors are too close to one another, so for my first phDesign post I am going to share a few things to remember when working with this combination:
- the blue needs to be on the border between royal and navy
- make sure the shade is a true blue, nothing with too much green or purple in it
- stick with a basic black
- use multiple textures; you add interest to the room and avoid clashing colors
- mix metals with your combo to add a lux look
- to keep a space feeling bright and open, stick with white walls
- to make a space comfy and cozy paint the walls blue and coordinate the window treatments
When done right you can achieve a truly sophisticated "city chic" look. This marriage of colors takes a trained eye to accomplish, but whether it's in fashion or design the results are always high-end and luxurious!
