Blue Rooms from House Beautiful - Enter for a Free Copy

 

Blue by House Beautiful

House Beautiful recently released a beautiful small book simply called 

Blue.  It has an edited collection of rooms decorated with the color

blue.  I know blue is a soothing color and a favorite of many people.

The volume looks to be cloth covered and has great photos for ideas

and inspiration for anyone looking to use blue for their rooms or as

an accent color.  Not all of the images in this post are in the book but

most of them are.  The book is available through Amazon at a great

price.

 House Beautiful has been putting out some scrumptious publications

on blue rooms.  This is the March 2010 issue that focused on blue

rooms from last year.

  

This is one of my all time favorite bathrooms (in the book Blue.)  It is

 a blue and white modern interpretation of a Moroccan bathroom.  I 

love everything about it from the river stone floors to the details and

blue tiles.

The rug and chair make this bathroom feel cozy.

A bathroom that is also a dressing room.  I always wanted a 

blended bathroom and dressing room.  Alas, there is no room.

There's no other word to describe this blue other than fresh.

A posh dining room with a beautiful blue.

This image is in the book and also the March 2010 blue magazine issue

of House Beautiful.  Absolutely gorgeous isn't it?

I'd stay in this bedroom any day.

 Who says one can't squeeze furniture into a small room?

Love the palette and the blue striped accents.

 

Gorgeous paring of deep blue and lime.

 

A great example of a monochromatic room.

 

Stripes and stripes can go together.

This living room somehow manages to be comfortable and posh.

A Posh cottage look?

This living space has tons of seating.  

Wouldn't it be perfect for family reunions?

 

The dramatic wallpaper pattern really makes this room pop.

Be bold with your furniture color choices.

Isn't this a fun room? 

Another great example of colored furniture.

Blue rooms anyone?
