I’m definitely in a blue phase.
Not only because January is dark and a bit dreary.
I could certainly use some sunshine right now, but mostly…
I simply love blue.
Especially combinations of blue and white.
This chair is a favorite of mine — it’s inspiring me to reupholster an old, tired off-white wingback I have.

Which color phase are you in lately?
For me, blue feels refreshing and versatile. It can be calm and coastal when paired with soft whites and natural textures, or bold and modern when mixed with deep indigos and crisp patterns. In interiors, blue works well on walls, textiles, and accent furniture. A single statement piece, like the chair above, can transform a room and inspire a whole refresh—reupholstering an old favorite is an affordable way to give a space new life without replacing larger items.
When choosing a shade, consider lighting and surrounding finishes. Cooler blues suit bright, sunny rooms, while deeper tones create a cozy atmosphere in dimmer spaces. White and neutral accents keep the look clean and timeless, while metallic touches add polish. Whether you prefer subtle hints of color or a dramatic blue focal point, the key is balance: pair colors and textures thoughtfully to achieve the mood you want.
So tell me: what color are you drawn to these days? Are you tempted to refresh a chair, add new pillows, or repaint a room? Small changes can make a big difference and help your home feel more like you.
