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!

Any one of these pieces would really lift a room and would be a great way of injecting some spring colour into your home. There’s a real mix of retro v modern but the colour works brilliantly with both!

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 :)
Oh gorgeous, would love the blue chair for my office! Thanks for linking up to #brilliantblogposts
