Beckers Paints has a dazzling
collection of blues, and can also
make shades to match any colour
sample. Check out a deep blue,
Oktan, or capture blue skies with
Aqua Lackfarg. Beckers' Elegant
Helmatt, a flat matt emulsion, and
soft sheen emulsion, �29.49 for 3L.
MOODY BLUES
Bright blues have long been
favoured for bathrooms, but other
rooms can benefit from them, too.
In a living room, sultry blue tones
add warmth, and teal or duck egg
pair beautifully with chocolate
shades and wood furniture.
Laura Ashley's embraced teal and
duck egg in a comprehensive
collection of homewares, from
rugs and cushions to fabrics.
Go moody blue in a bedroom by
upholstering a headboard in
Dalton Teal fabric, and matching it
with Trentham stripe curtains, �30
a metre. Complete the picture
with bedding, such as the Finley
collection in soft duck egg, which
starts from �17, or a luxurious
Kayleigh bedspread in duck egg
blue, from �150.
For a sharp, contemporary look
in a living room, navy
and cream make a
good team. Marks &
Spencer uses this
combination for a zig-
zag rug, �49.50 and
matching cushion, �25.
House of Fraser has
dark blue and white
embroidered bedding,
Fantine by Linea, which
starts from �15.
There's a chic, informality with
denim-style fabrics. I like Oka's
Denim Blue linen fabric, �26 a
metre, or for a coastal effect, its
Pennant Stripe linen in white and
Indigo Blue, for �28 a metre.
Alternatively, it's easy to make a
statement with Halo's Admiral
armchair upholstered in light blue
denim, at �849.
FLY THE FLAG
If you want to be `true blue' and
British, choose items
which show off the
Union Flag in its red,
white and blue glory.
John Lewis is flying
the flag with Union
Jack cushions, �25
each, and Union Jack
mugs, �16 each by
Emma Bridgewater.
Other companies,
such as Pedlars, also have a range
of Union Flag accessories from
bunting and mugs to tea towels.
Or be discreet by hanging a
Union Jack fabric heart, �7.50
from Heart & Parcel, perhaps from
a bedhead or a door handle.
Accessorise � Marks and Spencer Urbino two-seater sofa �749, love seat in blue Allon
Diamond �699, Ikat Diamond blue cushion �25, zig-zag rug from �49.50, Studio fishscale bottles,
�39.95 each, artificial hydrangea in blue stripe bowl, �59
