Splashing this blue around the bedroom against a fresh white or cool nude tone will add a calming spa-like vibe to the space. Classic Blue is easy to spot as many retailers carry bedding featuring this cool tone. For a simple and complete update look for a duvet set, like this Patterned Duvet Cover Set ($59.99 CAD) from H&M which comes with the coordinated shams, sheets and cover. It’s easy to throw on for an immediate room makeover.
Classic Blue is also a neutral so it mixes well with other earth tones and can either be the background colour of a room or the accent colour, it all depends on where it’s placed. A rug is a great way to infuse colour into a room without it becoming overpowering. The Hand-Tufted Millie Rug ($51 – $748.50 CAD depending on the size) from Anthropologie is a beautiful rug that adds the right amount of antique luxe and blue.

Ten Thousand Villages offers the beautiful and rich Indigo Garden Tablecloth ($80 CAD), decorated with a delicate paisley pattern and reminiscent of South Asia, this tablecloth is sure to give any dining room a luxurious touch. Take the tablecloth to the next level, by accenting it with some fresh lemons on a platter like this Patterned Ceramic Platter ($12.99 CDN) from HomeSense and the table is set.
However, the trend of placing mismatched chairs at the dining table has been picking up popularity. Depending on the size of the table, placing multiple styles of chairs or a bench has become a fresh way of styling the dining room, and HomeSense carries the Blue Molded Plastic Desk Chair ($69.99 CAD) which will add a perfect touch of Classic Blue around the table.
