Why I’ve Always Had Blue in Every Home: The Secret to Creating a Calm, Timeless Space

I want to share a little something about my love affair with the color blue. If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably know that blue has always shown up somewhere in my home. But as I’ve settled into what I lovingly call my “forever home,” I’ve found that this color has taken on even more meaning for me. I thought it would be fun to chat with you about why I’ve always had touches of blue in every home I’ve ever had and why I think it brings such a beautiful feel to a space.

A Lifelong Love of Blue
From my very first apartment to my current forever home, blue has always been my color. Whether it was a soft background to a piece of artwork, a beautiful pillow on my back porch, or an entire back patio with a bold shade, blue has been a constant in my life. There’s just something about it that feels right, calming, peaceful, and always stylish.

I think part of the reason I’ve always been drawn to blue is that it’s so versatile. You can go with a deep, rich navy for a cozy, elegant look or a light, airy sky blue for a fresh, bright feel. There’s a shade of blue for every mood and every room. And let’s be honest, blue just pairs so beautifully with other colors, whether you’re mixing it with neutrals, pastels, or even bold, vibrant hues. Green is also my favorite color and I love how blue and green are the perfect partners.

Why Blue Feels Like Home
For me, blue isn’t just a color, it’s a feeling. It’s the feeling of walking into a space that instantly makes you feel at ease. It’s like that deep breath you take after a long day, where everything just seems to slow down and fall into place.

Blue has this amazing ability to create a serene, tranquil environment. It’s no wonder it’s often associated with the sea and sky, two things that naturally bring us peace. When I walk into a room with blue accents, I feel a sense of calm wash over me. And in a world that can often feel chaotic, having a space that brings that kind of peace is invaluable.

But blue isn’t just about calm. It’s also a color that exudes confidence and timelessness. No matter the trends that come and go, blue is always in style. It has this wonderful way of grounding a space, giving it a classic, enduring look that never feels outdated.

Blue in My Forever Home
Now that I’m in my forever home, blue has taken on an even deeper significance. This home is my sanctuary, my place of comfort and joy, and blue plays a big part in making it feel that way. I’ve woven blue throughout my home in so many ways—whether it’s the soft blue in my kitchen, the deep navy of my guest bedroom, or the delicate blue pattern on my favorite set of dishes.

These touches of blue aren’t just about aesthetics; they’re about creating a space that feels like me. Every time I see a pop of blue, it reminds me of all the homes I’ve loved before and how each one has led me to this place. It’s like a thread that ties my life together, from my first little apartment to the home where I plan to stay forever.

Bringing Blue into Your Home
If you’re thinking about adding a touch of blue to your own home, I say go for it! Whether it’s a bold statement or a subtle accent, blue can bring that same feeling of peace, confidence, and timeless beauty to your space. Start small if you’re unsure, maybe a few blue throw pillows or a lovely blue vase. Or, if you’re feeling bold, go for a blue accent wall or even some blue furniture.

And don’t worry about getting it “right.” The beauty of blue is that it’s incredibly forgiving. It mixes beautifully with so many other colors and styles, so you can’t go wrong. Just trust your instincts and have fun with it!

I hope this little peek into my love for blue has inspired you to think about how color can transform your space. Whether you’re a fellow blue lover or considering it for the first time, I’m excited to see how you bring this beautiful color into your home.

Hugs and Love,
Nikki
