Modern home decor ideas in the Ocean Blue Color Trend

Following on the footsteps of Seashell white (our previous colour of the month), this time around we would like to raise your attention at Ocean blue. This bright, high-summer hue is making a comeback in 2021, offering a refreshing perspective to a colour once reserved only for seasonal palettes.

With our lives becoming ever more digital, we’ve all experienced at least some difficulties with keeping our focus sharp and motivation up and running. In our homes, the line between offline and online is starting to blur and, as a reaction, we’re seeing an increased interest in colours that bridge the gap between the two worlds.

Remember Pantone Greenery and Living Coral? Well, Ocean Blue is our new colour hero, bold and versatile enough to stand for the reconciliation of digital and off-grid aspects of our modern lives.

Modern home decor ideas: Decorating with Ocean Blue

Ocean blue is emotional and uplifting. Immersive enough to trigger a daydream, yet high-spirited enough to suggest action and adventure.

Sitting somewhere between turquoise and teal, Ocean Blue is neither light nor heavy. Evocative of long summertime afternoons by the sea, this electric shade is offering clarity while looking to imprint familiarity and nostalgia in futuristic home narratives.

Other than making the room feel calm and harmonious, another quality that makes light shades of Ocean Blue so popular these days is their ability to create an illusion of a larger space. Something that truly comes in handy during long days of quarantine, don’t you think?

Above all, the Ocean Blue colour trend is inclusive and open to different interpretations. It is easily schemed with other colours in both interior design and fashion, so it presents great potential for all colour lovers out there.

This mood board is a modernist interpretation of a high summer vibe. To create this sleek contemporary room fit for a modern home decor I used clean lines, lots of glass and metal (but I had to sneak in some eclectic details for a more personal look). Sparkles of yellow are added to mimic the reflexion of the sun, making sure that the space feels warm and welcoming.
