Take a page from Egypt Sherrod’s book and coat your primary bedroom walls with lake blue. The warm mid-toned blue looks stunning when paired with white oak floors, as seen here, and honey-stained wood furnishings or woven rattan accents. In this winning Rock the Block design, lake blue provides a rich backdrop for crisp-white bedding, cream fixtures and coral linens in this suite for a contemporary bohemian result.

The only thing more comforting than your worn-to-perfection blue jeans is the color of the denim itself. Denim blue is a light-to-mid-toned blue with a subtle warmth that plays well with brass or nickel finishes. When applied to walls and ceiling in a large room, denim blue creates a cozy feeling without closing in the space too much. This primary suite that Alison Victoria and her team designed on Battle on the Beach features a textural denim wallcovering that pairs seamlessly with ivory, white and navy accessories for a subtle coastal appeal.

If creating a serene and soothing environment isn’t your top priority, might we suggest this showier option? Cobalt blue packs a punch with pure pigment and turns heads in modern and traditional bedrooms alike. Go bold and coat the walls in this dramatic blue, or use it in smaller doses in an otherwise black-and-white design for equally eye-catching results. Accessorize with chrome hardware for a sleek, tonal look; up the contrast with brass fixtures.
