There is something so rich and sophisticated yet at the same time soothing and subtle when it comes to the darker side of the color blue. Royal blue adds a touch of cool elegance to a space. It's an uncommon color different enough to add interest in your home and captivate visitors.
One of my favorite color combos is orange and blue. This home office is simply gorgeous to look at. There is a lot of pattern going on with the graphic wallpaper and curtains, but the solid deep blue chairs ground the space making it visually pleasing. The velvety accent chairs are so elegant yet simple and I love how the wood lining sloped down the arms pull in the warm curtain colors. One important detail, the orange box on the desk, finishes off the look of the space. Brilliant! I wouldn't mind being stuck at work if this was my office.
