Whether it be in a living area or in your bedroom, Classic Blue is a color easily incorporated into your home’s decor. We’ve curated a collection of works that showcase this year’s color, and we guarantee you’ll still love for years to come.
Guererra, “Saltwater”, 48x60
This painting by Teodora Guererra explores the best attributes to Classic Blue. Using illusions of water and seascapes, this piece provides a calming aura for any room, but especially entertaining and living areas.
Choose a piece with subtle hints of Classic Blue to enhance your already existing blue decor. “Select” by Ken Orton is the perfect piece for this job.
Oroton, “Select”, 36x54
A great and easy way to embrace a color is to use it in subtle pops, focusing on adjacent and cohesive colors. For example, in this piece by Lisa Palombo, Classic Blue isn’t the entire focus but an accent. Place this piece in a light blue room for a fun pop without going overboard!
Slonem, “Mirror”, 10x8
Let your artwork be the pop of color in an otherwise neutral space. Hunt Slonem’s Bunnies are the perfect pieces for this, antique frames and all. Explore Classic Blue through his piece “Mirror” paired with two more bunnies in accenting blues.
