Blog 3: Soothing Blue and Bold Chartreuse
First - What is Chartreuse and how do you pronounce it? We're talking the color here, not the French Liqueur. However, it IS actually a color name that comes from the French Liqueur of the same name. And here are the colors that this blog is talking about. I am a meat and potatoes guy, or in this case a blue and yellow guy. But for the purposes of design here are Soft Blue and Bold Chartreuse examples:
If you're looking to make your home stand out without going over the top, try this unexpected trend for summer 2025: pairing soft blue with bold chartreuse. According to interior designers, these two colors offer a unique combination of calm and energy—something that today’s buyers really respond to.
Why This Color Combo Works
Soft blue brings a feeling of relaxation and coolness to a room, making it ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, or even open living spaces. Chartreuse, on the other hand, adds a playful burst of warmth and energy without feeling too wild.
These colors work great on their own, but when used together, they offer a fresh and modern twist that feels both grounded and exciting. What do you think?Imagine pale blue walls with chartreuse throw pillows or blue and chartreuse artwork hanging over a neutral sofa. Me, I'm a blue and yellow - meat and potatoes kind of guy, but designers get paid a lot to do their thing so I watch and listen.
Simple Ways to Use Blue and Chartreuse
Accent walls: Try a light blue wall in a small space to open it up, then add chartreuse accessories.
Home staging tip: Use chartreuse flowers or a bold vase to catch the eye. This is the fast and easier addition - but watch out for the conflicts with your other current, permanent interior colors.
Textiles: Throw blankets, rugs, or even patterned curtains can introduce both shades subtly - another fast and easy solution.
The goal isn’t to overwhelm. A little bit of color in the right place can help your home feel memorable and move-in ready.
