Go blue

Blue is considered to be 35% favorite of the world’s population. . It is seen as trustworthy, dependable and committed. It projects feelings of peace and tranquility.  The color of water and the sky blue is always surrounding us. It promotes rest and is calming.

Soothing hues of blue are great choices for a bedroom’s color. But that same blue also suppresses our appetites. This could lead to reducing the desire to snack in bed while watching TV.  Good or bad? Your choice.

Electric or brilliant blues have great energy! They can expresses exhilaration and make dramantic statements. Blue is a great color when the area is used by both men and women because has equal appeal.

Blue can find a place in almost any room. A soothing blue piece of artwork can create a calm reading nook or relaxed conversation area in the livingroom.  I use an accent of cobalt blue in my kitchen and it calms the “spiced cider” (cinnamon) wall color I’ve used. Using blue in smaller quanities can bring depth and complexity to the mood of a room.

Blue is the color of the Throat Chakra, also known as Visuddha. It is linked to the throat, neck, hands, and arms. The Throat Chakra is connected with speech and hearing, and encourages communication. Communications should always be encouraged in the bedroom!

Indigo, a deeper blue, symbolizes self-mastery and spiritual realization. While blue is the color of communication with others, indigo turns the blue inward. It encourages personal thoughts and self-awareness.

Tip:  Some shades or the overuse of blue may make people or their homes seem cold or uncaring.
