Do you like and use shades of blue in your home? 

One of our bedrooms which we use as a reading room, has 2 blue reclining chairs and a blue and white stained glass lamp.

Our kitchen and half bath were also blue, but we have since changed the colors of those 2 rooms.

Even though I tend to use warm colors in my home, I am definitely drawn to shades of blue. I think the darker shades look dramatic while the lighter shades are calming. If I had my dream beach house, I would definitely decorate with blues (and greens & yellows). 

Here are are some blue rooms I found on the Internet.

Do you like any of these?

Ever since I was first married 47 years ago, my main bath has always been blue.  

I have had blue kitchens, living rooms,, dining rooms and bedrooms that were blue as well.

Right now, one spare bedroom and the main bath are blue.

I like the first photo a lot. My blue decor is in our backyard deck and courtyard. Colbolt blue flower pots, an end table and 2 adirondack chairs.

All of the rooms are very pretty but my two favorites are the bedroom and the bathroom.

The bedroom is so peaceful and I love everything about it.  I would love to start my day by waking up in that room.

The bathroom is done in exactly the shade of blue that I prefer.   I wouldn't change a thing in that room.

I like the livingroom in the picture right after the bedroom but it's a little too light for me.I think it would be very difficult to keep everything in that pristine condition if your family actually used that room.

My living and dining rooms are painted a Wedgewood blue.  I always had white walls but years ago decided to put color in the rooms.  I wouldn't go back to white and love the blue walls which are calming.  When I have the rooms painted again, they will be a shade of blue!

I love all the pictures of blue especially the bedroom and the last picture with the very spacious room!  However, each photo had appeal for me.  Lovely!!!

I love the last one.

Like the last photo, but I'd add a few red accents.  Maybe, a patterned blue and red lamp or oriental vases.

@wilma  I think blue can be so restful!

Witty title, @wilma !   Blues are me, along with greens, creams and chalky pinks.  I especially like your lighter blue images-- I find that range to be the most 'energizing', although I do like most blues.  As usual, it's that sort of misty, chalky, off-pastel, 'washed-with-green' blue that you find in a robin's egg that makes me happiest.

When we painted our mostly south-facing living room B. Moore's historic shade "Woodlawn Blue",  it immediately became my favorite room in the house.
