Deep and robust, indigo is one of those colors that will never feel tired or bland. A saturated shade of blue with a hint of purple, indigo can bring a calming sense of richness to any space. The hue is dynamic and can be the focal point of a room (without overwhelming it), or used subtly as a complementary accent color.
When it comes to adding this color to your decor, there’s no right or wrong way. Consider these tips for working indigo into your home.
1. Bold or balanced
When paired with whites, beiges, or grays, this ultra-intense shade pops quite well. Despite its bold reputation, indigo balances well with neutral colors to create a calm, understated space. If you’re really looking to make an impact, consider pairing indigo with other strong colors like lime green, orange, or aqua.
2. Pop or prominent
. Multicolor prints are an effortless, yet fun way to incorporate blue into your existing décor. Find a set of throw pillows that features indigo and other colors already featured in your room. This way, the vibrant blue will act as a fresh pop of color while still blending into the space. Larger accent pieces, such as upholstered benches and area rugs, are bolder ways to get indigo to stand out immediately in your home.
3. Bohemian perfection
To achieve an exotic, bohemian aesthetic, decorate with shibori prints, dip-dyed fabrics, and painterly accents in deep ink colors. These designs typically look handcrafted and feature small imperfections that add unparalleled charm.
