Homeowners seeking to refresh their living spaces are being urged to embrace bold shades of blue by eco paint specialists Victory Colours. According to Victoria Yardley, Managing Director of the eco-conscious paint company, blue is a versatile colour capable of transforming any room and creating a range of moods to suit different spaces.
“Blue is more than just a colour; it’s a feeling,” Yardley said. “Different shades of blue can evoke various moods, making it an impactful choice for any home décor scheme.”
Victory Colours, known for its water-based paints with near-zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), offers a range of blues in its collection, each designed to create a unique atmosphere. Yardley highlighted several shades from the Victory Colours palette, providing insights into how each can be used to achieve different interior effects.
Tranquillity with Blue Steele No. 116
For those looking to create a calming and peaceful atmosphere, Victory Colours suggests using lighter shades such as Blue Steele No. 116. This soft blue is perfect for living spaces and bedrooms, offering a sense of serenity and relaxation. Yardley explained that the shade brings a feeling of peace and calm, making it ideal for spaces where homeowners want to unwind.
Spaciousness with Pale Periwinkle No. 113
If the aim is to make a room feel larger, Yardley recommends opting for Pale Periwinkle No. 113. The lightness of this soft blue can open up a space, making it feel airy and inviting. “Pale blues have a way of creating the illusion of more space,” she noted, suggesting this shade for smaller rooms or areas where a sense of openness is desired.
Bold Statements with Dart Frog No. 84
For those willing to take a more dramatic approach, darker shades such as Dart Frog No. 84 are ideal. This deep, brooding blue brings sophistication and intensity to spaces like home offices or living rooms. “Don’t be afraid to go bold,” Yardley advised. “Dark blues add a dramatic flair and a sense of depth that can make a real statement.”
Versatility with Hyacinth Bucket No. 112
Mid-tone shades, like Hyacinth Bucket No. 112, offer versatility and can complement a range of décor styles. This rich blue works well with white ceilings and the greenery of houseplants, allowing it to blend seamlessly with existing interiors. Yardley suggested that homeowners start small with a feature wall and gradually build from there.
Opulence with Midnight Ink No. 112
Victory Colours’ best-selling shade, Midnight Ink No. 112, is a dark, almost-black, blue that exudes opulence. Yardley described it as a top choice for homeowners looking to create dramatic, brooding interior spaces. “Midnight Blue is hands down our best-selling colour,” she said, adding that it reflects a growing appetite for dark, moody designs.
