Mood indigo: decorating inspiration in a blue hue
I thought you’d enjoy taking a look at interior design inspiration based on indigo, one of the most rare and expensive dyes in the ancient world.
Deep blue hues seem to like living with turquoise and voilet.
The contrast it offers next to white is also perfection.
It all depends what mood you’re in. Here, the designer jumped across the color wheel to create a warm contrast.
Feeling dark and mysterious? Indigo is the way to go.
Indigo will make the orange tones in wood pop.
Feeling uncommitted? You can paint your walls white and use indigo for accents. Some choices are: IKEA’s PS Collection African rug, Indigo toss pillows from Persnickety Home ($17.95), Ink Dish Tattoo dishware from Fitzsu ($82.00 for a 4-piece setting), & Crate & Barrel’s Lago Lamp ($129).
Maybe because it’s summer, I think white is looking really good next to indigo. But turquoise, and other jewel tones, are also beautiful. Agree?
