Harmony in Blue

When looking for a peaceful atmosphere blue is the perfect color. Blue is the color of the infinite, of the sky and of the deep sea. Blue has often been the color of aristocracy and remains for ever chic. The color blue blends easily with other hues and increases the sense of volume. Indigo and cobalt, the two predominant sources for blue color are some of the oldest colorants known to man.

In a small bedroom a swath of blue printed fabric gives a decided aura of luxury.
