Of course, the sea and sky are the first things that come to mind when you look at the blue interior. This color belongs to the cold range and is suitable for lovers of freedom and lightness; it promotes sobriety of the mind, not devoid of romance.
Blue and white
The combination of blue and white is most often found in bathrooms, and this is not surprising, because it is blue that represents water, and where else, if not in the bathroom, do we most encounter water.
But in fairness, it is worth noting that in the interiors of other rooms, the combination of white and blue also looks appropriate and even noble. And in some rooms it is recommended to use a tandem of these colors. And that's why. The blue and white combination will create an airy atmosphere conducive to a good and complete rest. This union is considered ideal for rooms that have small windows, so white and blue colors will add light and even fresh air. But to ensure that the effect of this color combination is not lost, do not add any bright accents to the interior. The maximum you can afford is a few soft bed colors: beige, light caramel, vanilla or pale pink.
Regarding blue and white interiors, it is worth considering that they are lost not only by adding bright colors on the walls or furniture, but also by the rich tones of the floor. Nothing should distract attention from the light blue motifs, otherwise the entire impression of the color will be lost, and the desired effect of lightening and expanding the space will not be achieved. Designers expressed their opinion on some flooring for blue and white interiors: laminate in dark shades will create a heavy impression, red wood will add roughness, and natural oak of a greenish color will upset the balance. So, what floor covering will be most suitable in this room? The opinions of professionals agreed on a honey-golden wood coating. It is also good because it looks equally advantageous in both a classic interior and a modern one. Given that white is a neutral color and blue is a cool color, a honey-golden floor will add a little warmth to the room without taking away from the freshness.
But if you don’t want to insulate the blue-and-white interior even a little, you can choose bleached oak for the flooring. It fits perfectly without interfering with the cool atmosphere of the room.
So that the feeling of lightness and airiness of the blue interior is not lost...
The floor can be made of bleached oak, which will also not distract attention.

Bluish gray
For those who want to make their interior not too cold, but, say, moderately cool, a bluish-gray background is suitable. Gray is a neutral color, so this design looks softer. In combination with white elements, it seems that the room is filled with snow flakes. But it won’t be cold here; on the contrary, in such an interior conversations will take place easily and naturally.
The combination of blue and red – ice and fire
Many even experienced designers hesitate to work with a combination of red and blue; their obvious antagonism, if used incorrectly, can disrupt the entire design structure. But as we know, opposites attract, and ice and fire (blue and red) can create a magnificent interior.
So, the first problem that will need to be solved is the temperature imbalance. But the heat of red and the cold of blue can still be reconciled, using, for example, the technique of leader and accent. That is, make one of the colors the main one, and simply complement it with the second. Who gets what role depends on the temperature preference for the room. That is, if you want to make the room cool, then the main color will be blue, and red can be used as a stripe on furniture or wallpaper, but not on all the walls, but only in some places. Or let the tablecloth, bed linen, chair seats, and so on be red. So, we will get a soft, relaxing coolness from the blue, but due to the red accents we will warm up a little. There is even such a trick as making one or two pieces of furniture entirely in red - a kind of oasis corner.
By the way, when combining with blue, you should not stop at just one red color; you can play with its shades, this will help eliminate color disharmony. Whereas for blue it is better to take only red. But if you want to use blue for the background of the room, then shades such as raspberry, terracotta, scarlet, raspberry and cream or coral may be suitable for it.
Bedroom with blue decorative elements
The blue and white interior is cooler and is best used in the kitchen or bedroom. Cold colors require some softening, especially if the furniture is made of wood coated with white gloss. The blue color in the bedroom interior depends on what shade the ceiling is and what colors the draperies are made in. In the bedroom, the tone of the wallpaper should be very gentle and clean. Wallpaper with small pink flowers - this combination will perfectly complement brown linoleum.
The lilac color of bedspreads, throws and decorative pillows on a sofa or armchair will help make the decor warmer. This transition allows the use of pink, a derivative of crimson, in the interior.
The blue color in the interior of any room is a democratic shade that combines completely incompatible tones, for example, gray and emerald green, blue and red, bright orange and lilac or lilac.

Blue and green colors
Green color is very close to blue; in the color palette they are relatively close to each other. Therefore, they can often be seen in the same interior. For example, such a union is good for children's rooms, bedrooms or spacious living rooms. What is the reason for the popularity of this combination? The fact is that blue and green completely personify Mother Nature, so when arranging an interior in these colors, the most successful option would be to use their natural shades. That is, sky blue motifs and fruity greens. If it is a rich blue, then it is better to complement it with deep pistachio. For light blue interiors, the neutrality of kiwi color would be preferable, which, although rich, will not create either a cold or warm atmosphere.
The versatility of fruity shades of green combined with blue allows them to be used in absolutely any room. Moreover, in this option you can take both light shades of blue and dark ones; they are equally harmonious with fruity green tones.
Green tones will perfectly complement the blue interior...

Blue combined with yellow and orange colors
Yellow or orange notes in a blue interior symbolize the awakening of nature from sleep, its gentle spring motifs. The interior turns out so natural that when you are in it, you feel as if you are in the lap of nature.
A cheerful mood and a huge charge of energy, this is what this combination of colors in the interior promises you. This union is suitable for any room, even for a corridor, pantry or loggia. It all depends on the presentation and correct use of proportions, as well as well-placed accents. But what is most remarkable about this combination is that you can take completely different shades of both blue and yellow (orange) and the overall picture will not suffer at all; on the contrary, it will look fun and interesting. For example, if the room is decorated in light blue, perhaps with the addition of white, then one or two yellow accents will help drive boredom out of this room. This will already create some dynamism.
Given the coldness that blue brings with it, many people prefer to use yellow and orange to soften the atmosphere and fill it with the warmth of the sun, while this combination does not take away from the freshness and visual expansion of the room that blue gives. By the way, designers advise using yellow and orange colors here in their brightest forms.
So, blue goes well with both similar colors in the palette and antagonists (red). If you use accentuation techniques correctly, the interior with any of these combinations will be cozy and interesting.
Combination: blue, brown and/or black in the interior
Brown is probably the most opposite color to blue. Down-to-earth, self-disciplined and persistent, he creates a contrasting pair with the sky blue hue not only in meaning, but also in lightness. Dark brown furniture against a blue background takes on a clear, defined shape, tying it to earth and definition. The brown-blue interior is filled with color and meaning, directing the energy of thought and dreams into a productive creative direction. Black color is chic, style and fashionable trends in ornamentation. Combinations of blue and black are always diluted with white, while blue in this combination against a monochrome background brings individual idealistic ideas.
