There is no single color palette that makes a home beautiful, welcoming, or stylish. However, there is no denying that the right shade of blue can make a room feel just a bit calmer. Bringing with it the context of water, nature, and life, blue is easy to incorporate in nearly every type of decor. In these two homes, blue is used as a beautiful accent while neutral tones and other colors work to set off the blue and create a harmonious feeling for the entirety of the home.
The blue sectional sofa gives plenty of room for seating in the first home.
As a complement to the blue sectional, a blue accent wall is used as a TV stand.
In a modern home design, decorative vases are always a good choice because they allow you to bring cut flowers or other plants into the home regularly.
A neutral-colored rug adds soft texture to the floor.
When an open floorplan is too open, modular glass walls are one option.
Black and wood paneled shelving work in harmony with the glass door.
The shade of blue used on this accent wall works really well with the rich, chocolate tones of the wood paneling in the dining area.
When closed, the glass interior wall lends some privacy for cooking or dining.
Simple black kitchen bar stools provide an easy place to perch for a drink or quick snack.
A unique mounted wall light provides a warm glow to the entryway.
A blueish purple hue gives a pop in a cream and white bedroom.
Artwork is essential to a home feeling personal and warm, even when it is a simple white line drawing.
Of course, blue is not the only color used in this stylish home. Yellow is a sunny, stunning choice for a kid’s room.
Most kids are not so lucky as to have their own personal climbing gym.
A two-toned wall pattern brings two different blues into play.
A speckled stone bathroom is serene and sleek.
A double vanity and wide mirror give plenty of getting ready space.
A simple water closet design is comfortable is private.
A cantilever floor lamp is another fun focal piece.
The blue accents in this main living area include a unique piece of art over the sofa.
In a home that uses many neutrals, a bright and colorful gallery wall is a pretty pop.
In the dining area, a dining bench in its natural wood tone is a warm choice.
The lovely blue tone carries through into a pretty blue kitchen backsplash.
Overall, the bedroom uses blue, white, and natural wood tones in its design.
The bathroom window uses a unique tilt design.
In a smaller home, some rooms must have multiple purposes like this home office and gym space.

Sailing near to neutral but with a swell of uplifting blue hued accents, these two modern home interiors are serene and mood-boosting spaces. Featuring a range of complementary tones, from bright cobalt to pale pastel, blue decor details provide a modern palette that’s full of positive personality. Looking beyond the colour story, we explore room interiors that are styled with contemporary furnishings and balanced with a classic infusion of chic wall moulding. Grey, white and wood tone make calm companions for blue elements in our first home tour, whilst our second home design is injected with contrasting bolts of yellow that serve to exaggerate the dominant blue theme.
Located in Moscow, Russia, this 54 square metre home is a modern space that’s coloured with a serene spectrum of blue, pale greys, white and light wood tone. Bright cobalt blue throw pillows add jolts of vibrant colour along a grey upholstered sofa, whilst pastel blue paintwork envelops a classic panel moulded feature wall with an unusually camouflaged door.
A modern wall sconce illuminates a reading corner at one end of the L-shaped sofa. Contemporary track lights run in tandem along each side of the ceiling.
A round coffee table expands the pale grey element onto a plush blue living room rug. A simple glass vase and a couple of coffee table books adorn the top.
The small open plan living space includes a two-tone kitchen with a comfortable dining peninsula. Beige cabinets create visual weight at the base of the kitchen installation, whilst fresh white cabinets lighten the upper half.
Modern ceramics and a clear glass carafe cleanly accessorise the white kitchen countertop. Indoor plants spill from a set of open shelves above.
A trio of black kitchen pendant lights coordinate with four black kitchen bar stools positioned around the dining peninsula. A modern fruit bowl makes a useful centrepiece.
An open doorway leads to the home entryway, where a mirrored closet creates the illusion of added space and light.
The mirror-fronted closet also takes away the need for a wall mounted mirror, which leaves the remaining wall space free for a set of decorative wall hooks. The coat hooks protrude from a fashionable slatted wall treatment that is painted to blend with a buttery-beige accent wall.
In the relaxing bedroom scheme, a powder blue headboard wall complements a blue upholstered bed. The bedroom rug lays down soft grey contrast.
A grey pillow set and matching grey throw accessorise the powder blue upholstered bed.
The bedroom chair adds a warm twist of beige over by the pale blue window drapes.
At one side of the bed, a floating dressing table is fixed into a floor-to-ceiling frameless vanity mirror. A small beige vanity stool tucks neatly underneath.
Fluted glass doors separate the bedroom from its walk-in closet.
The small dressing space is beautifully styled with a textured rug and a punchy blue stool. A custom-cut full length mirror reflects a couple of slimline pendant light fittings, doubling their effect.
Blue veined marble covers the vanity backsplash and floods the floor.
Blue marble also encases the fitted bathtub to create a seamless finish.
In this 106 square metre apartment in Odessa, Ukraine, a framed kitchen forms a traditional backdrop behind a modern sofa.
Deep blue cushions boldly accent the small sectional sofa whilst grey scatter cushions layer in texture.
The dark tables complement a wall hung bookcase on the adjacent wall, which glows with atmospheric light.
Dark blue kitchen cabinets make a perfect match with sapphire blue upholstered dining chairs.
A chic home workspace has been given its own private room in the home.
Panel moulding frames the blue wall behind a contrasting yellow statement sofa. Blue throw pillows match the inky blue paintwork.
A casual throw takes the yellow accent hue over to a stylish reading area that’s furnished with a wall of sleek glass fronted bookcases.
The inviting reading chair is the Imola chair by Henrik Pedersen for BoConcept.
An eye-catching rug pulls the furniture layout together.
In the bedroom, decorative panel moulding frames a piece of round wall art and a pair of modern wall lights.
Beige bedside units wing a colour matched upholstered platform bed.
A baby blue bedroom chair adds a dash of subtle colour to the grey panel moulded TV wall.
This time around, the walk in wardrobe is revealed from behind solid wood sliding doors. A wood closet system builds a wonderfully warm matching interior.
A round vanity stool awaits by a run of backlit shoe shelves. More LED strips glow along the garment rails and upper storage.
Decor darkens inside the bathroom, where a black marble wet wall shades the shower area.
Illuminated shelves lighten up a black storage unit built into the cistern concealment wall.
White marble walls provide light contrast.
A royal blue vanity stool colours the neutral home entryway.

Brilliant blue accents bring upbeat energy to these two unique home interiors. Bold artwork and contemporary furniture choices shape a snazzy aesthetic that keeps the eye engaged and the mind open. Our first blue accent home interior has a youthful, fun-loving and welcoming spirit that’s communicated through confident use of pattern and quirky elements. Our second featured home is a glamorous mid-century NYC penthouse where unique furniture, stunning lighting, colourful gallery walls, and plush blue statement pieces shape sophisticated elegance. The two homes each boast glorious, summer-ready terraces that are fully furnished and stylishly accessorised for socialising, lounging, dining, and delighting in sunny days and balmy nights.
An attention-grabbing blue and yellow area rug sends a jolt of energy through the living room of our first featured home. A pair of nesting coffee tables lay a calming solid white accent on top of the dense pattern, and pure white drapes dress the windows. A Seleti style Monkey lamp playfully swings amongst the curtain folds.
Appealing artwork fills the walls of the living room, creating numerous points of interest.
Bright throws and multicoloured scatter cushions brighten the grey sofa and modern lounge chairs.
A small side table places a golden accent between the two stylish barrel chairs.
A spectacular modern chandelier draws the eye away from the lounge area towards the kitchen behind.
The unique chandelier drips gold over the glossy white countertop and a decorative gold bowl.
The gold accent theme continues into the formal dining area, where it lustres over stylish modern dining chair frames. A round pedestal dining table places a clean white pause at the centre of the gold and black dining chair arrangement, on top of a plush, prussian blue area rug.
A luxurious, prussian blue tufted sofa colours the second lounge area. A black wingback chair is tied into the colour scheme with a matching blue throw pillow. The beige shagpile rug spreads deep cosy factor beneath a reflective golden coffee table.
White, floating bedside units cut clearly against the lavish gold tufted headboard design. Bright peacock blue bed linens create fresh contrast, and an assortment of artwork colourfully punctuates the white walls.
The dressing room is alive with colourful displays of hats and accessories. A unique, sculptural vanity stool depicts outstretched palms by the dressing table and a gold vanity mirror. An island of drawers breaks the space under a luxe black marble countertop and gold hardware.
Gold statues of the Three Wise Monkeys make a thought provoking adornment to the vanity table, whilst a unique jewellery box, decorative jewellery tray, and golden hand jewellery holders make practical additions to the island of drawers.
Navy blue stripes, sunflower yellow accent pillows, and a leaf motif area rug give the second bedroom a summery feel.
The decked terrace is cheerfully furnished with a bright turquoise outdoor sofa and tropical leaf print scatter cushions. Vivid orange throws are on hand for when things begin to cool down after dark.
This glamorous mid-century New York City Penthouse, created by British designer Lee Broom, communicates sophistication and elegance. The formal living room hasn’t a drop of the blue accent just yet, but swathes of calming white, ivory and warming wood tone.
A set of Lee Broom’s Tribeca Tables fashion a sculptural moment at the heart of the crisp lounge arrangement. The tables were inspired by a brutalist 1970’s skyscraper that can be seen from windows. A round chandelier complements their modern shape.
Art and design is dominant here, right from the entryway.
The Crescent table lamp designed by Lee Broom takes the fine, gold finished aesthetic to the opposite side of the lounge.
A stone art plinth matches a modern fireplace design.
The blue accent theme is introduced in the chic dining room/cocktail room, through Musico dining chairs and a blue backed bar area.
A sculptural grey gloss bar volume makes solid contrast against the water-like blue silk wall covering. The bar is an original 1980s piece designed by Steve Chase.
A small sofa and a decorative round mirror form a cosy nook by the dining suite. This white version of the Split Mirror is a limited-edition piece that was created for the ‘Time Machine’ exhibition.
Inside the kitchen, warm wood tone dominates.
A modern staircase design climbs with wooden treads and metal risers. Glass balustrades clearly display the slick engineering, and a blue accent wall that ascends to the second floor.
A colourful gallery wall and a bookcase with a sculptural display brings character to the eclectic home office space.
A vinyl record player cabinet stands against the opposite wall to provide music whilst the homeowner works. A jacket painted by pop artist Keith Haring hangs on the wall, who had his gallery and studio on this very street in the 80’s.
The master bedroom is splendidly furnished with a 1960s postmodernist brass and stainless steel bed design.
Plinths display sculptural art around the room.
A nailhead trimmed black settee adds more glamour. Abstract wall art splashes colour against dark grey walls.
Grey marble encases the lower third of the bathroom, creating sleek floors, luxe modern bathtub facing and a double vanity countertop. Natural wood tone warms the remainder of the small space, creating cosy sauna-like surroundings.
A white L-shaped sofa, coffee table, and modern outdoor chairs make up a beautiful terrace lounge area; a perfect setup for enjoying summer drinks with friends.
The outdoor dining table awaits an al fresco feast next to an outdoor kitchen. Musico chairs have been recreated with materials suited for the elements.
