'Blue is a wonderful color to use in rooms where there are low levels of natural light and it is brought to life by layering it with highly contrasting colors,' explains Nicola. The blue paint has been pushed all over the walls, the cornices and on the ceiling for a unique ceiling decorating idea, making the cabinet really stand out. In this example by interior designer Nicola Harding, the light blue of the rug and the lighter hue of blue on the walls is a great basis for contrast. 'Colors that go together in nature are great to study and can show you have to use nature when considering color and how they work so beautifully together,' says designer Amy Lau. Both with strong associations with nature, they are vivid tones, but using nature as inspiration should be a good reason to give the combination a go. 'Blue and green should never be seen,' goes the age-old myth, but their contrasting nature can make green an interesting color that goes with baby blue, even though they are clashing colors on the color wheel. For extra contrast, the circular dining table was refashioned with black japan lacquer with a black glass table top for an extra sheen. The family was inspired by the New York apartment of model Cameren Dell'Orefice, using color and monochromatic schemes throughout the house to give it atmosphere and a distinctly sophisticated feel. Instead, the result is dramatic and stylish, a similar effect to a black and white monochrome color scheme, but with an inclination of color.

The walls are painted in a sky blue hue, but the black walls and fireplace, plus pieces of furniture dotted around the room – the dining table and chest of drawers prevent the baby blue tone from being too soft. In this home, designed by Danielle Brustman and The Stylesmiths, the result of this color combination is artistic and chic.

The blue wall paneling idea is a bold backdrop for the client’s collection of contemporary art and an 18th-century Georgian mirror presiding over the fireplace. With master painter John LaPolla, we ultimately achieved the right one. 'We watched it repeatedly because each frame contained so many different shades. 'At a client's request, we undertook the process of recreating precisely the same shade of blue as the drawing room in the 2005 movie, Pride & Prejudice,' explains Bunny. In this example, light blue and the brown from wood create an opulent and grand look, which is exactly the intention of designer Bunny Williams. Brown is a dark tone of orange, which on the color wheel sits opposite blue, so the two colors complement each other.

Navid Mirtorabi, proprietor of The Twenty Two, worked with Natalia to take inspiration from 18th-century classical French design, giving it a modern twist with rich, playful textures and custom upholstered pieces. 'In this bedroom of The Twenty Two, it is a really classic combination and has worked really well.' In this room a light blue is picked for the walls, and a bright, cheery scarlet red velvet headboard idea adds a focal point and a touch of luxury to the room. 'Blue is a color that goes with so many colors,' says Natalia. The project honors the color blue and uses the shade in various hues throughout the hotel. This combination is illustrated here in Natalia Miyar's design at Mayfair hotel, The Twenty Two. In color theory, red is close to light blue on the opposite side of the spectrum, meaning that science explains why they work well together. In this instance, the light blue acts as a base, allowing the red headboard to take the stage. Light blue and red are another strong pairing.
