Blautöne

An Blautönen scheiden sich die Geister: Während sie für manche Menschen Räume kühl machen, lieben andere die Ruhe und Klarheit, die Blau erzeugen kann. Die Tatsache, dass Blau eine der beliebtesten Farben im Interior Design ist, bezeugt ihre Wandlungsfähigkeit und ihre transformative Kraft.

Eine helle blaue Farbe scheint ein Stück zurück zu treten und lässt Räume größer wirken. Dunkle Blautöne hingegen kreieren einen dramatischen Look und sorgen für Glamour. Strahlendes Blau verleiht Orten eine spürbare Energie, gräuliches Blau hingegen wirkt weich und verführerisch. Welche Stimmung auch immer Sie erzeugen möchten – wir haben mit Sicherheit einen Blauton in unserer Palette, der Ihnen dabei helfen kann.

Dunkle Blautöne

Ein dunkles, sattes Blau hat das besondere Talent, große und kleine Räume komplett zu verwandeln. Es ist eine gute, weil unerwartete Alternative für einen dunklen Grauton. Am helleren Ende unserer dunklen Blauskala sitzen der kobaltblaue Farbton Pitch Blue, der über einen faszinierenden violetten Unterton verfügt, und das samtige Marineblau Stiffkey Blue. Hague Blue schenkt einem Raum eine vornehme Grandezza und Eleganz. Das grünere Inchyra Blue wirkt hingegen wunderbar dramatisch und komplex. Und dann gibt es noch Railings: unseren zeitlosen Klassiker, der so dunkel ist, dass er manchmal schon fast schwarz wirkt.

Blaugraue Farbtöne

Die am einfachsten zu verwendenden Blautöne, die immer ganz entspannt wirken, sind die graublauen Nuancen. Vom dunklen Pigeon bis zum ganz weichen Cromarty wirken diese Schattierungen in allen Kombinationen natürlich, edel und ruhig. Das mittlere Blue Gray erzeugt eine Oase der Ruhe, es verändert seine Anmutung im Tagesverlauf mit wechselnden Lichtstimmungen. Das weiche graublaue Mizzle ist perfekt dafür geeignet, im Hintergrund zu wirken. Diese unverwechselbaren blaugrauen Farbtöne haben einen unprätentiösen Look und wirken ein wenig, als seinen sie schon immer da gewesen.

Einige unserer schönsten Farben befinden sich auf der Schwelle zwischen Grün und Blau: Aquatöne, Petrol, Enteneiblau … Sie alle haben die Fähigkeit, ganz unterschiedlich zu wirken. Eine eher erwachsen wirkende Weiterentwicklung eines Babyblau sind beispielsweise Teresa’s Green oder Green Blue – blasse Aquatöne mit einem deutlichen grünen Unterton, die Räume sehr hübsch machen. Etwas launischer wirkt Dix Blue, sein geringer Anteil von schwarzen Pigmenten verleiht ihm etwas Verlebtes, einen faszinierenden Vintage-Look. Deutlich mehr Lebendigkeit bringt Vardo mit, das strahlende Türkis erzeugt zusammen mit Inchyra Blue einen Hauch von Drama.

See: Blue room ideas – wonderful room schemes to inspire you

The best Farrow & Ball blue paint

The fact that blue is the colour most widely used in decoration is testament to its amazing transformative powers.

1. Hague Blue

Deep and bright, indigo is surely the most joyful blue hue. Sitting between pure blue and violet on the colour spectrum, this intense color is the blue paint shade of choice for designers and artists – it's the electric pigment behind Yves Klein’s famous International Klein Blue and Henri Matisse's Blue Nudes series. It's even the signature hue of the late, great Sir Terence Conran's shirts.

2. Inchyra Blue

Blue and white is a powerful color combination, evoking childhood memories of walks along the pier at the seaside. The clever duo also works to smarten up a scheme and provide a striking backdrop for artwork and photographs.

Forget notions of kitsch coastal schemes, Farrow & Ball blue paint is a modern update.

3. Stiffkey Blue

Opulent and rich, Stiffkey Blue will create an exotic feel and bring the outdoors into your home.

4. Drawing Room Blue

This blue makes such a strong statement that it can stand up on its own. Drawing Room Blue has a clean, graphic feel that works particularly well alongside black paint. When contrasted with white, it gains a regal edge, looking deeper and more intense.

5. Claydon Blue

This season, paint trends are definitely leaning towards the deep, evocative moods of the Old Masters. The colors and composition of the Old Master paintings are a wonderfully rich source of inspiration. Evocative of nature, this colour is part of Farrow & Ball's archive collection.

6. Scotch Blue

Deep navy tones promote calmness and are the perfect choice for your living room, bedroom or even your garden – typically spaces that you go to for escape and respite.

7. Vardo

Blue consistently tops the charts of our favourite colors but when it comes to decorating, its negative connotations of being cold and masculine can stop some of us paying it due attention. But a major plus that’s worth bearing in mind is that blue works well with northern hemisphere light which, for most of the year, is already quite blue.

8. Oval Room Blue

Calm, cool and collected, the color blue is a decorating win-win: not only does it make a beautiful base for a scheme but it’s scientifically proven to be a subconsciously calming shade, making it the ideal color for a children's room.

9. De Nimes

This quietly elegant blue feels wonderfully down to earth, and is a fantastic way to create a heritage appearance in a modern home. This dark blue shade is rooted in a regency palette but is inspired by the cloth of everyday workwear made in the French city Nîmes.

10. Dix Blue

Because cool tones aren’t overpowering, they often help a small room appear to have more space, which can make them a great choice for narrow hallways. However, they are wonderful in larger rooms that have good natural daylight, too. Match them with warm, woody textures to allow the space to feel inviting.

11 shades of blue in the Farrow & Ball palette – read on the Manders Blog

Farrow & Ball's color experts seem to be able to find inspiration in everything from the colors of workers in Nimes, southern France, to the ever-changing hues of the skies over Scotland. We have chosen 11 shades with which you can create a certain mood in the interior: calm and relaxed or trendy and energetic. Try to find yours - the one that makes you feel comfortable.

1. Light Blue #22

Light Blue is like a lake: on a cloudy day it looks silvery and soothing; in sunny - blue and cool. The shade is too complex to label. But “contact”: you can combine it with both warm and cold shades (for example, Blackened No. 2011) without fear.

Light Blue No. 22, Farrow & Ball

2. Pigeon No. 25

A cozy and calm blue-green hue is distinctly reminiscent of the color of a dove, a bird that is impossible to imagine the London landscape without. If your task is to create a soft and peaceful interior in the bedroom, Pigeon will help you cope with it in no time. By the way, against the backdrop of Pigeon, not only dark, but also light furniture looks great.

Also keep in mind that Pigeon is the perfect find if you want to freshen up the color of the walls in dark rooms - a dressing room or an office.

Pigeon No. 25, Farrow & Ball

3.

Lulworth Blue No. 89

Inspired by Lulworth Cove, one of the most scenic spots on the Jurassic Coast of South England, the designers created this shade. It has an ideal circle shape and is connected to the sea by a narrow strait. The color of the water in it is expressive blue. To some it resembles the Maldives, to others the Caribbean.

But don't think fresh Lulworth Blue is only perfect for a summer house overlooking the ocean. On the contrary, the shade is also perfect for a serene bedroom in a city apartment or just a dark room. Especially if you choose gray-green Arsenic No. 214 or yellow Citron No. 74 as companions.

4. Pavilion Blue No. 252

This fresh shade is inspired by the interior palette of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, rebuilt during the Regency era. Combined with All White #2005, Pavilion Blue creates a cool and sophisticated vibe. Perhaps that is why this pair of shades is loved to be used in bathroom interiors. Fresh Pavilion Blue also looks great in the ceiling finish, giving it a weightless feel.

5. St Giles Blue #280

St Giles Blue by Farrow & Ball is an interpretation of an incredibly modern and extraordinary shade discovered during a 17th century mansion of St Giles in Dorset.

Think St Giles Blue is too bright? You are not alone in this: many English people are also still cautious with St Giles Blue, preferring to paint niches and interior walls of cupboards or bookshelves with it instead of walls. In a small dosage, this energetic shade will well invigorate a monotonous interior, and give the old one a fresh breath.

Although Pitch Blue, like many of the other blues on our list, is great friends with All White #2005 and looks expressive in light-filled rooms, its presence is much more effective in dark spaces where candles or fire in the ceiling are preferred to ceiling light. fireplace.

Pitch Blue No. 220, Farrow & Ball

7. Drawing Room Blue No. 253

For a long time, the British used the phrase “drawing room” to refer to the living room. In the room for rest and communication, the hosts and their guests gathered immediately after dinner.

Drawing Room Blue #253 is a reference to the calm blue that was so often used in interiors of the Georgian era. He makes small rooms visually larger, spacious ones - more comfortable and warmer. The best way to emphasize the expressiveness of Drawing Room Blue is to combine it with white. If you want to create a charismatic and informal interior, add orange, green or yellow accents.

Ideal companions: Pitch Black #256, Incarnadine #248.

8. Stiffkey Blue #281

The Norfolk Coast is not only a Blue Flag, but also mesmerizing with deep sea hues. Ink blue Stiffkey Blue is often used as an alternative to Down Pipe No. 26 because it looks more modern and attractive.

In well-lit rooms, it becomes deeper and more saturated. But it works especially expressively in tandem with Ammonite No. 274.

Stiffkey Blue #281, Farrow & Ball

9. Inchyra Blue #289

According to the designers of Farrow & Ball, this rich blue-gray is inspired by the dramatic Scottish sky that looms over the village of Inchyra. But is everything so simple?

Depending on the lighting, Inchyra Blue can be more grey, blue or even greenish, just like the ocean around the island. What is a moody mood? No, rather a deep and incomprehensible character. And if decorating the interior, you suddenly want to emphasize it, remember about assistants - Black Blue No. 95 or Vardo #288.

Inchyra Blue #289, Farrow & Ball

10. De Nimes #299

This elegant shade of blue is inspired by work clothes made in Nimes, France. It will work great both in the interior of the living room and in the kitchen. In combination with white, it evokes associations with water, the sky, recalling the beauty of everyday life next to the sea.

De Nimes #299, Farrow & Ball

11. Hague Blue #30

Deep blue with a green undertone is one of the favorite colors of the Dutch: it is not without reason that it is so often found on the facades of their houses. But in England, the Hague Blue shade has received well-deserved recognition: it works great in dark rooms, small bedrooms, and teenagers' rooms.

Designers like to place graphics and paintings against its background, as well as furniture with brass or copper inserts. If you want to create an interesting accent in the interior, it is a great idea to paint the door or kitchen set in Hague Blue color.

Which shades from the Farrow & Ball palette designers choose - read on the Manders blog publications such as AD and Elle Decoration.

Designers love them for their eco-friendliness, natural and expressive hues, and ease of use. Let's see what shades appear in Russian projects and why designers choose them.

1. Sophisticated shades of gray in the Moscow "Stalinka"

Designer Tatyana Bezverkhaya admits that she chose the color of the walls intuitively, preferring complex gray shades and rich dark tones. The emphasis in the interior is on the floor and ceiling. For the latter, they chose the warm and charismatic shade of London Clay No. 244, Farrow & Ball.

“I had to persuade customers for a dark ceiling in the common area, ,” the designer recalls. - But in the end it has become an element that brings the whole interior together.”

The walls in the common area were also left for painting. The grey-beige shade of Drop Cloth No. 283 matched perfectly. In combination with a dark baseboard around the perimeter of the room, this shade visually makes the space look larger and more airy.

Ammonite No. 274 was used in the bedroom, an authentic shade of gray that creates a relaxed and calm atmosphere in the interior. In the children's room, they bet on the shade of white White Tie No. 2002. In its composition, this shade has a yellow pigment, and therefore the interior does not look like a hospital - on the contrary, the room turned out to be light, warm and bright. Bright accents work great against a neutral background: furniture, textiles and decor.

2. Blue walls in a 5-room apartment

This interior was inspired by Portugal, with its blue facades and azulejo tiles. The ideal shade to implement the idea was the cobalt blue shade Pitch Blue No. 220, Farrow & Ball: designer Ekaterina Uglova painted the walls in the public area in it. Combined with plenty of natural light and white woodwork, it looks especially impressive.

Eco-friendly materials and natural shades

Berphin Interior designers Inna Tedzhoeva and Zina Broyan used only high-quality and environmentally friendly materials to decorate this apartment. For example, the walls were covered with Farrow & Ball paint, preferring light, natural shades.

White color in the interior is the wish of the apartment owner. All White No. 2005 was used in the living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway. Against its background, art objects and bright designer furniture look spectacular.

A warm shade was also chosen for the walls in the office - soft light beige Off-White No. 3. Among themselves, Farrow & Ball colorists call it a "timeless classic": it is the most unobtrusive and versatile wall tone that can be.

4. White and graphite colors in a small apartment

The interior of this small apartment (area 28 sqm) is based on white and graphite colors.

“They emphasize the geometry of the interior, but at the same time they are the base, so they cannot get bored”, - the designer explains his choice Daria Nazarenko . – Neutral colors also make it easy to work with decor in a variety of shades: an orange splashback, a deep sofa and an emerald painting.

Both shades were selected from the palette of the English designer paint brand Farrow & Ball. The pure shade of All White No. 2005 perfectly emphasized the texture of the brickwork and, paired with natural light, visually made the modest apartment larger and more airy.

In spectacular Railings No. 31, internal partitions were painted, which form the volume of the dressing room and bathroom. The hue only looks black, but it is actually a gray-blue and looks especially dramatic in daylight. By the way, the paint is washable - it is very easy to care for the coating.

Colored ceilings and walls in the Moscow "stalinka"
Designer Yulia Russkikh often creates colored ceilings in her interiors, painted to match the walls: this technique made it possible to erase the border between the walls and the ceiling and visually lift it.

“When you work with color, unity of intention is important, - says Yulia Russkikh. – In this project, the colors do not repeat, but smoothly move from one room to another and seem to evolve.”

Living room painted in universal Castle Gray #92, Farrow & Ball. Thanks to the excellent friendship of this shade with its complementary blue and contrasting pink, the designer managed to create not only a cozy, but also a fashionable image of the interior.

Stiffkey Blue #281 was chosen for the bedroom. With this attractive shade, the designer highlighted not only the storage system, but also the ceiling, as well as part of the wall.
