The festive period has come to an end and it’s time to take down the decorations, put your Christmas jumper to the back of the wardrobe and throw yourselves into the new year. Of course, that’s much easier said than done; January is renowned as a bleak month, and there’s no wonder why, what with everyone returning to work, attempting to shift extra pounds and pay off credit card bills!

Here at Roman Blinds, we believe that every cloud has a silver lining, which is why we’ve decided to take a positive from the infamous January blues. Though the phrase refers to post-Christmas woe, we want to focus on the gorgeous hue that it refers to. No other shade is as clear and calming as blue, a colour that evokes feelings of peace, power and productivity.

We’ve pulled together some of the very best images of blue decor. Which is your favourite?

A right royal room

Royal blue is the ideal shade if you want to really make an impact. Pair with neutral shades or metallics for a really regal effect, or alternatively team with a contrasting colour to make a big statement.  We love the matching cushions, which are almost identical to our Prestigious Polo Cornflower design.

Mediterranean vibes

This reception room truly demonstrates the effect of blue, and how a limited palette really pays off. We adore the mosaic tile decorations, bringing an exotic edge to the otherwise simple scheme. If you like the look of this decor, we recommend choosing curtains like our Prestigious Karok in Cobalt.

1950s feeling

We love this vintage kitchen. Sky blue was the perfect addition to this monochrome room, adding a soft, feminine touch to an otherwise linear space. Our Prestigious Panama Wedgewood curtains would provide an extra burst of colour, whilst also fitting in perfectly with the lovely, light blue tones.

Azure apartment

Blue and yellow is one of the most effective colour combos, and we’ve found proof! We love the mismatched patterns and contrasting tones, making for a room that’s laid back, arty, and effortlessly chic. We can imagine our Prestigious Belle Citron Roman blinds within this space, adding another complementary hue to this marvellous array of colour.
