Last week we began looking at Pantone’s spring colour forecast and focussed on the first colour in their palette — Aquamarine — and how we could use it in our homes. This time we’re looking at ‘Pantone Scuba Blue’.
As it’s name suggests it’s another aqua inspired shade — although probably most people would call it turquoise! It’s a vibrant, punchy blue and I think it would be a great accent colour for a tween/teens room plus would suit both boys and girls.
So with this in mind I’ve been off on a mission, looking for some pieces that would work well for a (grown up) kid’s room. That said, none of these items are ‘childish’ and would certainly carry though to adulthood — they’d look great in a home office.
Have a look and see what you think!

Oh, I do like that colour! Generally, I steer away from blues as I find them quite old, but this does look funky and vibrant. Now where can I put it….!
Thanks so much Jocelyn — me too :) Have got my eye on the lovely lamp for my desk and I quite fancy the clock for my kitchen!! ;) X
I can’t tell you enough how much I love this color! The storage box needs to get in my office!
Thanks for your comment Krista!It’s lovely isn’t it?! It’s quite a bold shade but used to accent a room, it is just gorgeous! :)
I love that colour blue, its so vibrant. We have pale blue in our bathroom but with hints of the brighter blue. I think blue can be quite a cold colour though. I love your blog design/layout. It looks lovely.

I totally agree Stephanie — blue can be cold if it’s got lots of red in it but if the undertones are yellow, it warms it up, like this lovely ‘Scuba Blue’! Thanks so much for your lovely comment :)
