Blue Home Decor and Ways to Add it Now
Blue home decor is super hot right now, and cool at the same time. I love adding blue to my home. It feels cool, especially in the summer, and it’s the super hot decor color at the same time. Some people like to add blue only during the summer, but others like to use it year-round. I love blue, so I’m adding it to my home for the summer and winter.
I took most of the week off, so I’m still moving a bit slowly today. My mom was visiting, and it was great to see her. It’s always hard getting back into the grove after a vacation. Last week, I had so much fun at the Haven blogging conference seeing so many of my blogging friends last week. I wish you could have been there. Kelly and Yvonne had me laughing all the time. Also, I was a mentor for one of the blogging groups and it was so wonderful to pour into other bloggers and help them along their journey. Everyone was so nice.
Let’s talk about how to incorporate blue into your home
- You can buy a blue chair or have a chair redone in blue. See more about this chair HERE.
If that is too expensive or too much of a permanent change, you can try some of these other options.
- Add a blue rug. This is more of an expense, but it can totally change the look of a room. Some people change out their rugs by season. It’s not something I do, but if you like a lot of change it might work for you. More on my blue rug HERE.
- Use blue pitchers. I love using pitchers in decor, because they are great empty or holding cuttings from your yard.
- Rotate blue pillows into the room. Pillows are a great way to add punch to a room. You can find some of my favorites HERE.

Beautiful ideas.
Blue has always been, and will forever be, my favorite color … thanks for sharing!
I use blue as a neutral along with my other neutrals like whites, beiges, creams, etc. Most colors mix with it very well. It’s my favorite color. Love your selections.
Janette, I agree it’s a great color that works so well with neutrals.
Blue has always been my favorite color and I use it everywhere throughout my home. I recently painted my kitchen cabinets, white uppers and steely blue lowers, I have black light fixtures and curtain rods and I’ve accented with a subtle touch of country reds. I love my new kitchen look.
Great ideas. Love blue, especially French blue.
I love blue, and have had fun adding touches all over my house. Your ideas are great!
I have added more and more blue to my home over the past few years. I used to just have it upstairs but now my home office has lots of blue and I will probably be adding some to my dining room. Thanks for all the inspiration!

You’re so near my heart here?I can never find enough blue of anything! Love love it’s many hues…..
Such a peaceful look!!!!! Anita you make all the rooms look so warm and welcoming!!!!! Beautiful!!!!! ? Roxann
Your tips are spot on for my decorating style. All of my rooms tend to have a little spa/duck egg blue: a throw pillow, a quilt, bottles, one piece of furniture, a (future) rug. I even have my eye on a retro pastel aqua-ish stand mixer. Depending on what shades of blue you use, you could have so many different feels to a room… from calming to regal to bold. I love my blues 🙂
Love your ideas on how to add blue or any color. But Im really partial to blue , I have a few pops of blue in my home. I have had my eye on the the blue lamp at the very end of your picks for quit awhile, the only thing holding me back is I have a candlestck lamp on side of the bed looks old has black and gold not a bright gold ,but I like it so Im still on the fence.
PS. The one I have been looking at it is by Ralph Lauren has one that looks almost like your pick ,but little smaler
I used a small hinged top cabinet that my mom painted as the starting point when I updated my dining room. Mom loved blue so she used blue for the background color. The tole design includes gray horses so I choose an antique looking gray for my hutch. My new rug has an ivory background with a mostly gray and blue design. I used a french graphic pattern for my chair covers. The graphics are in blue, gray and black. The love how tranquil the room is!
Beautiful ideas thank you and God bless
I love, LOVE the blue! It is so calming and beautiful!
After living with gray walls for 2 1/2 years, my husband had enough. Our open concept living area is now a deep shade of blue. We love it more and more. Realize that all along I’ve been fighting my inner country French and this brave move let me enjoy what I truly love without caring what anyone else thinks or the suitability to the architectural style of my home. Love the Country French Friday’s and the great recommendations.
Can you share with me where the oval blue
Dining room chairs can be purchased ???
The chairs in the dining rooms are antique. Thanks for asking Bet.
