Design With The Color Blue

In honor of the Blue Moon here are some ideas to include the color blue in your home.

Blue is a great color to work with.  It is very neutral and can be added to most color schemes. 

Adding color can be as simple as a dash of blue in accessories to make your room Pop, paint one wall a shade of blue, upcycle a piece of furniture with the color blue or take the plunge and go for it - make your whole room BLUE.  Want a retro look in your kitchen - add some blue appliances.  

If you are hesitant, but want to add color to your decor, Blue is a great color to start with.  It is calming and depending on the shade, it can be very "safe".

Below are some pictures I found.  See how you can add blue to your room.

Kitchen Design - Your Sink

When you think of kitchen design, do you think to add color to your sink?  Well Houzer has.  Their porcelain enamel sinks come in a variety of colors and styles.

Here are a few colors and their styles:

These under-mount sinks are part of the Porcela series and are double baked at 1500 degrees F.                     

Their non-porous surface can resist chips, stains and scratches.

Choosing a sink other than White or Stainless may seem

"not practical", but Why Not?  Most kitchen designs are too neutral and need color desperately.  Having an all white kitchen and installing a turquoise sink would be beautiful and unique.   So Why Not - add some color to your sink:)
