Make A Statement With Blue This Autumn

  If you are thinking of redecorating your home – either doing things


yourself or hiring a designer remember that one


of the most in vogue


tones for autumn and winter is blue in in every conceivable guise, from navy to indigo. One simple but eye catching idea is to liven up an indigo armchair or sofa


with comfortable cushions in  neutral tones to to


brighten things up, or select opulent plum


to create a mystical, imperial mood? If you


are a fan ofindigo but are a little


reluctant to use it in block colour, go for fabrics


or materials where it is used together with brighter, more lively shades to


give a more contemporary, modern look. Whether you go for the darker shade or use something a little more light and vibrant to


provide contrast, these colours will ring the changes during


autumn and winter. Marble accessories and attractive vases help give any


room that little extra touch of style. Aromatic candles


remain an enduring favourite and are are to


be found from high end manufacturers


like yankee candles and true grace candles in a wide variety of colours in addition to aromas . These are products that can be


filled with a aromatic candles , or simply


put on show on your shelf. Its distinctive texture will reflect both the


natural and synthetic light at different times of the


day. Blues, indigos and violets are work well


blended with chocolate, browns and honey. Use


these shades for any furniture, side tables, photo frames or


accessories you purchase for the house. And also remember this rich, opulent colour


looks great on walls. Dark blues in particular are  especially good choices for small dark


rooms. Using a warm, strong blue colour means you should take special care when selecting the lighting you


want to help turn your room into something


especially dramatic and impressive. In older


properties, warm strong blues are often used to give some


contrast to highly ornate furniture and gilt


frames. For


some reason, blue tones have the ability to make antique pieces appear somewhat


less formal or imposing to help a warm living area in which to enjoy


them. When you are talking about


a more up to date look, try using dark blue as the


backdrop to a plush cream sofa or a focus piece of artwork; again


dramatically lit for maximum impact.
