The most important things about the colour blue
Blue is by far the favourite colour for many people, and this applies equally to women and men. We associate the colour blue with harmony, peace and contentment. It is considered the colour of infinity, vastness and distance
Effect of blue colour
We associate the colour blue with the unfathomability of the sea and the infinity of a blue summer sky. The effect of blue colour shades is calming and relaxing. They convey inner and outer peace and help to reduce stress and hecticness. Shades of blue provide balancing energy and help us to remain calm. They promote creativity and concentration and dampen emotions.
Blue is considered the colour of wisdom, harmony and peace. It is the colour of faithfulness and loyalty, but also of cheerfulness. Blue symbolises our longing for trust and stability. This colour has also been given great significance in history and in religions. Just think of Mary's blue cloak, which is said to confer protection. Or the burial gifts of blue lapis lazuli in the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs.
Of course, there are an infinite number of different shades of blue. The palette of blues ranges from delicate light blue to strong indigo blue, the luminous blue of the artist Yves Klein, to velvety, almost black dark blue.
Design rooms blue
Many people shy away from blue colours when designing walls because it is often claimed that they have a cool effect. However, whether a shade of blue radiates a feeling of coolness depends on the composition of its pigments. There are certainly warm shades of blue, especially if their mixture contains red pigments. A rich shade of blue on an accent wall in a bedroom can also help you fall asleep
You should avoid blue here
Blue colour shades, whether light or dark, enjoy light. Blue is therefore not a good recommendation for dark north-facing rooms.
Alternatives to blue colour
Alternatives to calming shades of blue would be a soft grey, but also a soft, greyish green. Both tones also have a calming and relaxing effect.
The diversity of the colour blue
When you think of blue, you will certainly think of many variations, almost more than with other colours: Sky blue, deep blue, sea blue and many, many more. In terms of its effect, blue is more of a cool colour shade. Blue radiates calm and at the same time reminds us of the vastness of the ocean, the cooling and clarifying effect of water, as well as the infinity of the sky and thus the distance.
But blue can also create a warm effect as soon as it contains parts of red. This is why different colour nuances with their respective effects are suitable for different rooms.
Different shades of blue
Firstly, get an overview of the different shades so that you can choose a suitable shade of blue more easily. After all, you can choose between different variations of blue, for example dark blue, a delicate pastel blue, greyish dove blue and many other shades
The following shades of blue are available
- with a black component, such as Blue with Black from the Just paint Collection
- with a strong grey component of reduced colour intensity, such as Blue with Fog or Twilight Blue from the CosyColours collection
- pure blue tones of medium intensity such as Blue with Jeans
- blue mixed with red, for example Blue with Violet
- light, pastel shades that are generally known as sky blue - including Blue with Cloud
The effect of the colour blue
Blue has a cool, calming and clarifying effect. An accent wall painted a deep, dark blue makes a room cosier without making it feel cramped. There is a reason why a bedroom with a blue wall is the trend par excellence, while a pure, maritime blue gives a sense of freshness and space, creating the impression of cleanliness and an endless horizon. Light blue visually enlarges rooms and also has a relaxing effect due to its coolness. You can concentrate effortlessly with this colour. As you can see, different shades of blue have different effects on your rooms and your mood
Design rooms in blue
Due to its soothing and liberating effect, shades of blue are ideal for wall design in areas where you are looking for peace and serenity. Blue is a great choice for your bedroom or living room
- Bedroom: A deep blue wall in the bedroom, for example Blue with Night behind the bed or behind the sofa in the living room, is a real eye-catcher. In combination with soft grey and white tones, you can create a cosy atmosphere in which you can recharge your batteries.
- Bathroom: In the bathroom, you can use maritime and particularly fresh shades of blue to give yourself an extra boost of freshness in the morning and get the day off to a good start. Blue with Cloud is the perfect tile paint for this. Other ideas for your bathroom include painting the ceiling in an almost white blue, such as Blue with Snow, and extending the paint to the centre of the wall. Embellish the lower section of the walls with a warm dark blue.
- Children's room: As an idea for the design of the children's room, you can combine light blue such as Blue & Calm from the LittlePomp children's collection with earth tones to create a cosy and comfortable atmosphere. Add an accent piece of furniture in a darker blue and you have a harmonious whole.
Of course, there are also spectacular blue colours that you can use to create exciting accents. Used sparingly, it can create an extraordinary effect. This includes our Blue with Violet from the Just paint Collection

Tips on the relaxing trend colour blue
Precisely because the colour scheme is so large, you can use blue in very different areas of your home with different effects. Be inspired by our large selection of colours and integrate shades of blue into your own personal living style
Living styles and trends in shades of blue
Blue colour has a broad spectrum of different nuances. This makes these colour shades suitable for many different living styles. From country house style to art deco and boho style, there are no limits to how you can use them. You can even use this versatile colour shade in warm living styles such as the 60s or in oriental interiors.
If you prefer strong blue tones and a natural effect, we recommend the maritime living style, which is often used in bathrooms and guest toilets. However, it can also add character to living rooms and entrance areas.
Combine the colour blue skilfully
Many colours can be perfectly combined with blue. Warm white tones such as White with Melting and White & True emphasise the effect of the colour blue. Dark blue creates a strong contrast to white, while light blue really starts to shine when combined with clear white. Warm sand and earth tones such as our Beige with Sand give the cool colour shade a pleasant frame and further emphasise the relaxing effect.
With the complementary colour orange or a strong red, you can achieve an extraordinary constellation. Make sure the red has a bluish undertone so that the colours harmonise perfectly with each other. A classic, vibrant combination for this is red with cherry and blue with night. If you're particularly bold, you can paint an accent wall in an orange wall paint and the furniture in front of it in a strong or dark blue.
Deep blue wall paints behind a red chest of drawers are particularly eye-catching. A soft but no less attractive combination is an orange piece of furniture against blue-grey wall paints.
The neutral colour blue-grey allows even more wonderful colour combinations. Natural tones, such as the warm Brown with Nougat or Green with Sage from the Just paint Collection, as well as white tones in all shades, but also signal colours such as Pink with Peony harmonise beautifully with it. Ultimately, you can paint almost all your rooms with the different shades of blue, as it supports your ideas through and through
If you are looking for a more greenish blue, we have wall paints in turquoise and petrol for you, for example.

What can I combine blue colour with?
Blue adapts to all interior styles and gives natural materials a beautiful background. Use it with light-coloured natural wood, lush green plants and natural fabrics such as linen or cotton. Wicker and rattan furniture also accentuate blue colour shades. Decorate with velvet and accessories in gold or copper tones if you want to achieve a sophisticated effect. Golden and yellow-gold colour shades always go perfectly with dark blue. The great thing is that this versatile colour gives you plenty of scope and doesn't limit your options
How does blue colour work?
The effect of a blue tone depends on its pigment composition and its brightness. It is a widespread but completely false preconception that all shades of blue have a cool effect. There are indeed warm shades of blue
Which furniture goes well with blue colour on the wall?
It depends on the shade of blue. Scandinavian furniture made from light-coloured natural woods and antique furniture made from dark and reddish natural woods are both suitable. But furniture in intense bright colours or white can also look great against a blue background. A tone-on-tone effect is also interesting if the wall and furniture are painted in the same blue colour shade
Does blue chalk paint match the country house style?
Blue colour goes particularly well with a Nordic or Scandinavian country house style. Combine the colour blue with soft sand tones
Is blue colour modern?
Blue is a timeless, versatile classic, especially on the wall. If blue is your favourite colour, you should give in to your instincts and use it liberally in your home. The colour of romance, of so many flowers and blossoms, should also be used in your home. Use the colour blue to bring the colour of water, the sea, the sky and therefore nature into your rooms. Blue is one of the primary colours and throughout history it has always been attributed properties and symbolism that touch people in the depths of their souls
