I love blue in my home. I chose Caribbean blue to remind me of swimming in warm holiday water. I love the effect it has on me! 😊
365 vacation 😌 sounds dreamy to me!
Enya liked this comment...
Since you started with blue: I’d love to see you do this with red, orange, yellow, green, and purple! ❤️🧡💛💚💜
Heck… let’s add pink to the mix!
I second this suggestion!!
I started with black- we have that video on the channel now 🖤 How to update GRAY is up next, followed by your list 😉 Thank you for the feedback Brandon!
@JulieKhuu thank you! We recently repainted our entire house in various shades of gray, with some black. I can't wait to see your ideas!
@@JulieKhuuso looking forward to each colour you're going to go through! Be very intrigued by purple as I love it but I only like monochromatic imagery so would be interested on you take on pairing it with other colours 💜💜💜
წქ@@JulieKhuu
Blue is my fave color, it makes me feel happy and ready to go kind of energetic.❤
I really like the blue rugs and upholstery. The examples of blue mixed with a little green are really interesting., too.
i am Now "feelin' N' the blue mood" ! (humerously)! After watchin' yerr Vidio,
Thank U !
The photos you picked for this video are just stunning! So much inspiration! My flat is decorated in white/teal/beige, and we redecorated my parents’ house in white and various shades of blue. It is fresh and elegant. Thank you for so many ideas!
The BEST Julie Khuu video ever!!! Why you ask… my favorite color is Blue! Oh that bathroom that looks like the ocean. That one kitchen in dark deep blue! I’ll take one of each! 🎉
Thank- you so much, Julie! Have a wonderful day, you made my day! ❤
Aren’t they fun?! Images are beautiful, but experiencing a space bathed in color is completely another level 🤩
Blue is my favourite colour Julie. I incorporated into my home with wall art and accessories like throw pillows and blankets to match the Caribbean Sea outside my window. Great series, can't wait to see more!
You're so lucky!❤
Love that! I’m sure your home instantly transports you 🌊💙
Please take care of that cold!
Thanks for that video.
Signed, a blue fan
Thank you Nathalie, caught it from my daughter. ‘Tis the season 🤧🙏🏻
That blue jacket is stunning on you!
Thank you so much Charlene 🥰
Two of my fave colors...blue and yellow....lovin this series
I’m now loving blue and orange combos as well, so vibrant and happy! 💙
I always have blue in my home. I just painted the front door blue. So this is timely. Lots of good information on how make the house cohesive but not overwhelming. Thanks.
Loved it!! Can't wait for update on Grey's!!❤
Thank you so so much Julie! This is exactly the advice I was looking for. Really appreciate how many pictures you showed too. On first view I saw at least 5 for the mood board but I'm going to save this video & go through it frame by frame when I get into serious planning. Thank you for the in depth explanation & suggestions, they're so helpful & I love that you gave many so many different ways to use colour. Can't wait to see all the other colours in the series. 💙
Color is going to explode on my channel next year, I’m so excited for this series! A great resource to revisit when you’re ready for the change 🩵🤗
These videos are so practical and helpful. I'm enjoying my apartment so much more by following Julie's suggestions. I'm grateful for the real quality of life boost.
What a great ideas to refresh your home decor! I love how you showcase different shades of blue to suit any style.
THANK YOU for talking about shades that are more than just pastel or grey!
Great video Julie! Thanks! I just redid my first floor. I put in light blue lower kitchen cabinets and island, and painted sherwin williams smokey blue on my fireplace surround and the walls above the chair rail in my dining room. Added 2 burnt orange velvet swivel chairs plus touches of blue in the new area rugs and i love it!!!
Pretty!! I bet those orange chairs breathe LIFE into your space 🙌😍
Gorgeous. It makes me want to add more blues in my main house! I do have blue kitchen cabinets in my shophouse kitchen. Get this Mrs Julie, I had contractors all come in and say to get rid of them and to buy new ones well I went with my gut and painted them and added new hardware and now they are stunning and I saved a ton of money by not replacing them.
Contractors are NOT designers. Unless they are in fact a design/build team, then I might take some suggestions 😂
Great video Julie!!
Love the color themed episodes!!! 💙💙💙💙
Thank you for watching! Gray is up next! 🩶
I love it Julie, I hope you do all the colors!
I’m working my way through the spectrum Jane! 🌈
I really enjoyed this video! Love blue's. I have a hard time coordinating colors. Thank you for tips of adding contrasting colors. I'd love more ideas. Some pix had the blue & greens. Which I would never think putting together.
You are the best at what you do! Thank you for sharing 🙏❤
Thank you for watching Taty! 🙏🏻🩵
Thanks for this timely video, Julie! We're going to be doing a home reno in the new year and I want blue kitchen cupboards. Thinking of how to tie it into the rest of the house. I do have allot of blue accessories and loveseat so we're looking forward to getting at it!! Have a joyous Christmas season!!
Love the blue jacket! You are blue-ti-ful!
Haha thank you Stephen! ☺️💙
I loved how you commented on the slides you showed. I hope this becomes a series and you talk about decorating with other popular colors.
This is the second episode in the series, we started with black 🖤 Check it out if you haven’t already Jackie!
Julie I love this video. I personally love blue with terra-cotta, it so warm and inviting. Take care❤
Me too Debbie! After seeing all the deep rich blues paired with coral, Terra cotta, and citrus tones, I’m a fan! 😍
Awesome video! The photo examples were so much fun to look at. I am going to have to rewatch and pause so I can enjoy them again.
Awesome! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
what a delightful and unexpected topic ~ renewed my love of blue.
Me too Kathlene! I don’t have a ton of blue in the home, but now I can’t a powder blue bathroom! So relaxing 😍
Absolutely loved this video❤
Thank you for watching Annie! 🙏🏻☺️
We repainted our mid-century modern (leaning modern) loft from its original blah beige to Glimmer by Sherwin Williams (greenish blue grey) and ohhhhh my gosh it made ALL the difference! We love hanging out in the loft now! Loved this video ❤
The power of paint! I love that 🙌💙
Thank you for this video. I’m using Navy/light blue in my living room.
Ooh love that combo! 💙🩵
You are excellent🦋
Julie...You are such a true artist. You are so upbeat and I can sense your passion with decorating. You are absolutely marvelous and make me want to go outside the typical.
Thank you! Always a pleasure!
Thank you so much for watching and sharing feedback Mary! I appreciate the support 🙏🏻💕
I just painted my whole living room build in bookcase and baseboard in matte blue heather from Benjamin Moore. Would never go back to white wall again.
I was intrigued by number 15 at the end. Not my esthetician, but when I see someone’s creativity at work, it fascinates me. Thanks, Julie. I always see something in your videos that catch my eye!
I feel the same way! When I started collecting inspiration images for this video, it went upwards of 200+ photos! I loved a detail from every room! I had to whittle them down or else this video would have been 2 hours long 😅
I like the blue trims
That periwinkle blue colored jacket looks good on you. 😊
Thank you 💙 bought it just for this video
Hello Julie, Introducing BLUE in design this season is smart timing considering paint product leaders predominantly supporting this color for 2024. I appreciate your inspirational design options herein. Happy Holidays, and good health, including overcoming your apparent cold ailment, in the new year.
Happy holidays and thank you for the well wishes Daryl! Hope you’re enjoying the festivities so far! 🎄☃️❄️🥂
Love blues
💙💙💙
Recently discovered your channel and loving it! So much fun insights and tips. For my part, I like all the desaturated blues and greens that are of the moment. Or some of my fav combos are blue pulling to green with pinks as well as deep navy, mint green and a very acid/green yellow.
Looking forward to the next colors you’ll do!! ❤
I just painted my bedroom a rich sage/ mid tone green and loving it. I have green lined up right after gray 😉
Ooh thank you for this video! I love the color blue (ocean/cerulean blue specifically) but don't want to make my home look cold or like a teenager's bedroom. It's extra challenging since the rest of my design style is minimalist modern / Japandi. Trying to make it look classy, mature, warm, and welcoming while still incorporating the bright pops of color that bring me joy!
The trick is to add MORE color and not let blue sit against stark white rooms. Unless that’s your intent of course, but blue/white rooms lean cold. Sunset hues with blues lean warm 🌅💙
I love blue and white.
I also love blue mixed with sunset tones for a burst of contrast 😍
Blue is my favourite colour to decorate with. I rent so I am limited in my design elements, but my entire apartment save fo the bedroom and bathroom are bright, turquoise blue. After 13 years, I still love it. It changes with the light and everyone who has entered loves is - even those who are colour shy. They need a moment to adjust but once they have, they have told me it feel uplifting and inspiring, which is exactly what I was going for!
I love that! That’s the power of color Melody, you never know how you will like it until you’re hit in the face with it then never want to go back! 🙌💙
I used to have blue couches , curtains back in the late 90’s when my kids were little . Been on a red , gold , type of decor for 20 years just in the living room . A country kitchen with all red appliances . Living room / dining room has all antiques and vintage lamps and furniture ! A couple bedrooms will be dressed up for Christmas but usually in soft pinks and purples that are calming . However I want to try some soft colors in our family room come this spring . My family is on board with it ! I want to try a English cottage country style that’s still very elegant !
I love English/French country. So idyllic and instantly transports you to another time and place 😍 I’d love to see powdery blues in your design! 🩵
I love blue! I think I will make my bedroom blue!
Awesome Nelson! I’d love to see how you develop the space 👏🏻
I really enjoyed this type of content. A lot of great tips
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching Tracey 🙏🏻☺️
Oh, Julie! I’m always distracted by your beautiful hair and style first!❤ Always looking fabulous stunning!
You're the best! Thank you for watching 🤗
I love this video. I got some ideas for how to use blue in my kitchen. My floor tiles and countertop has sort of an orangy tint to it. Now, I'm thinking blue rug, maybe blue backsplash. Thanks for the wonderful blue paint options.
Sounds like a plan 🙌
Great video ❤ I’m really into blue especially with a little green hue. I think the color blue will play well with my golden orange wood ceilings. Your pictures are full of inspiration. Thanks 🙏🏼
I’m loving blues paired with orange and even orangey wood tones, perfect 👍
@@JulieKhuu I really like your idea to paint the trim a beautiful blue. Do you think a light, mid, or dark blue would look best with my orangish wood? I messaged you on Instagram a quick video of my home.
I love blue!!
So regal and classic! 💙
But only my guest room is blue 💙 i got in the neutral palette and i love it too but i miss the blue and now need to incorporate it again because i love it, it reminds me of the beach, or vacations in Greece or France ;)
Watching this blue episode (love it) takes me back to when I was decorating my home white and blue, then I got into greens, then reds and whites...whatever my mood dictates...hahaha.
Haha I love that Lydia! You’re always listening to that voice inside 💖
I like Benjamin Moore Blue Danube. There’s a kitchen that was designed with white uppers and Blue Danube lowers that went the rounds a few years ago. Didn’t end up copying that when we redid the kitchen, but I did put Blue Danube in the bedroom. It’s a good match for the blues in some of my Persian rugs.
Picking up color from area rugs is pro status 🙌💙
I use blue in rugs, sofa toss pillows, art, MCM blue leather chairs, throw blankets, Christmas decor
Blue for the holidays, so much YES!! 👏🏻 🩵💙🩵
✨🙏✨. You look amazing… love this information…we live in Australia in a coastal town. we try make our home reflect our surroundings..this information is so helpful ✨🙏✨
Sounds lovely! That’s exactly what I mean by capturing a sense of place, you’re instantly transported 😍
Hi Julie
I just love the idea of colour themed episodes
I like blue, just have some artwork on my bedroom
I would have that dark blue cabinet in my kitchen
I am waiting for the next colour 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😘😘😘😘
Gray is up next 🩶 Let’s get this ball rolling beyond neutrals Flavia! 🙌
@@JulieKhuu I love gray :) I can't wait 🥰
My favorit color❤
I have navy blue walls in my bedroom and it feels so relaxing, regal yet cosy. It doesn't make it feel smaller either
Regal is exactly how I would describe navy! Love it 👏🏻
That's what I did. I painted the inside of my kitchen door, the same color as my island, which is bluish green.The upper half of the door has clear leaded glass. My kitchen and living area is one open space. Looks great.
Hues only have to match the room they’re in, the other side can be considered another room 👏🏻 Perfect Iris!
Thanks 💙
Thank you for watching Melissa! 🩵🙏🏻
Hi, I really appreciate this kind of video about colours and i love Blue and i think that a blue-brown-white Is a perfect relaxing palette for bedrooms...but since i don't live near the beach i prefer a modern neutral black and White palette for the living room maybe with accent of blue and grey- Blue kitchen cabinetry, bye😊
A lot of these blues don’t feel coastal to me at all, which is what I love about blue’s versatility 💙
im a blue lady.. in which i decorate my place more in this color.. this color makes me happy and calm.. so this video will really help me.
So many calm shades and so many vibrant ones. Something for everyone 💙🩵
Such a (nice) surprise topic. I am so scared of Blue. Thank you for opening my eyes ;). I watched your black color video many times as black is my favorite color. Perhaps you can you include other colors as well!
We’re updating grays next Joyce! Let me know if there’s any other colors you’d like to see inspo for ✨
@@JulieKhuu thank you Julie, updating grays is a good topic. I can’t wait to see that. How to add color to /warm up a black and white home can be interesting too. In NL, there are so many homes with black windows with white walls. They look so cold. I also think a morden beige home can be too flat and boring too, how can we improve that? But of course, I like all your topics, nice surprises each time!
I have a tiny guest bedroom I've been doing in blue as sort of a "chill out" space so I'm looking here for some more information. Most of it is navy but I'm incorporating other shades, too, along with an accent color.
Even an accent color in lighter blue would vibe off the navy! 💙🩵
omg blue is my worst night mare..Ialways feel sad in a blue room....im glad found your video....im learning!..thank you.
The tone of blue makes or breaks the room. Don’t these spaces feel fab tho? Doesn’t read “sad” to me when color is so saturated 😍
some look very beautiful, specially the darker blue..happy holidays@@JulieKhuu
Would love to see you highlight other colors like green , yellow , pink, lilac ect please .
It’s all coming up! Stay tuned 🤗
I love my navy blue kitchen cabinets. I'm thinking about painting office room walls the polaris blue color in the first picture you showed.
If you love the kitchen, you can definitely use more blues around the house 🙌
@@JulieKhuu Thanks! Appreciate your pointers.
Great video, thanks for using my song!
I love blue, I just got a new med. blue bed today but am not sure if I should keep the lighter blue on the walls?! I have a white duvet and shams currently on the bed and 3 cushions. I’ll be buying new cushion covers but I suck at matching colours 🙄
Oh, Julie... I can't even tell you how much I appreciate you right now!!! 😭I have been struggling with what to use for a template in my kitchen remodel, and you just gave me the perfect inspiration with the kitchen you put at 10:52. Wow, that is beautiful! I love stone (but not too much), I love metal (but not too much, and those bar stools are fire!), I completely LOVE the exposed wood beams (but I struggled on whether it would work on 8' ceilings!), I love black/white colors (love the high contrast, but not patterns; love the black cabinets in the background with white countertops/walls!) and I love brown/blue/green colors togehter (mountain/island soothing earthiness... I'd have natural plants in that space too!). I absolutely LOVE that black/gold hood vent, but I don't completely love gold everything. Could I get away with black faucets, black lamps, gold/black hood, and gold drawer handles with a darker colored wood floor, with a glossier sheen on the ceiling?
Yay, so glad you found something to inspire your design Sandra! I love your direction, too much black feels boring, but those brass touches will totally elevate the cabinets. Right on 🙌
@@JulieKhuuthe only thing that would make all this better, is if I could buy those things through your affiliate links, so you could get credit! 😊
I always loved blue. But I had trouble coordinating it with other colors. I know a lot more about how to work with blue so it would not overwhelm the design. I still have blue in my home in upholstery curtains and fine china. It’s really a color I am drawn to.
I hope you see blue in a new lens when it’s paired up with similarly saturated hues. It feels less bold and more like a supporting actor. Especially with coral or orange, my new favorite combination Margaret 🌅
@@JulieKhuuyes! Blue and warm tones like orange! Even blue orange and yellow. Very French provincial I think! I remember seeing those color combinations in a French country restaurant. So calm and relaxing ! 🥰🥰🥰
I use blue in Christmas w light blue.
I love blue in my home. I am in the process of buying a home that needs updated, it has a red brick fireplace that matches the exterior of the home, it has a modern feel yet it feels dated, I am searching for ideas. Blue might be my go to, not sure yet.
We have used blues in every home since the 90’s. Currently we are pairing peacock blue with chocolate brown in the master bedroom.
Pretty and regal! 🦚💙
Decorating with yellow please! 😃
Ok Michelle, added to my list! 💛
Just like this lady's videos
Thank you for watching Gloria 🙏🏻☺️🩵
Is a dark turquoise/blue statement wall with cream walls ok for the bedroom? I thought dark blues in the bed room was a no no for feng shui becuase its a water color, it doesnt help you sleep. Can you clarify? Also, how does having a bold color on one wall affect mood/vibes? We have popcorn ceiling so I dont think well paint it.
Thank you for the color series. I want to paint one of my bedrooms a dark blue, one bedroom black, and a third bedroom brown with copper accents
How do I unify these colors? And what kind of flooring would you suggest to use for the second floor?
The main floor is white with black accents. What type of floor would you suggest to unify the first and second floor?
Thank you so much Julie. Love love love love love love your work🎉🎉
Each room can have their own distinct style. You don’t need to coordinate them at all. Unless you are going for a cohesive look, I would keep all the furniture light to contrast with the dark walls. Think shades of ivories and creams mixed with natural materials like cotton and linen Talisa. I’m a huge fan of warm walnut/ rich oak flooring to warm up interiors
@@JulieKhuuthank you Julie
In a very sunny, hot country maybe but for dreary UK it feels too cold for my taste!
Pair it with sunset hues to warm up cool blues 🌅
Let's name all these lovely paints
Blue is my decorating pop of color 😂
It’s a bold pop! 💙
Can you please tell us how to decorate a north facing room
Blues and blacks are perfect for a north corner room. Think of your focal point first and relegate the color to where you have the most impact like a headboard or sofa! 🛋️
My celing has a popcorn texture... Can this be painted?
Absolutely, best if you spray the new paint on or use a super nappy roller to catch all the grooves
Hello,
I've used blues in my home for some years now, in my guest room particularly. I've added blues by way of decor and linen's.
But, the biggest blue statement pieces in the space is art work on the walls
This is our blue room with a very detailed modern African design in detail.
I'd love to see your views on Black as it is that touch of color in my very white master quarters.🖤
Black was the first video I made for this series, check out that episode 🖤
sounds like you did karaoke the day before ^^
lol my kid is sick and I caught it from her. Karaoke does sound cooler tho 😂🎤
Hi Julie me and my family moving to a new house on February 10 2024 Chinese new it is good thank you.
How exciting! Best of luck to you- let me know what you want to see more of on my channel that may help your new home design 🏡
I’m follow you seen’s pandemic I’m enjoying your interior with feng shui thank you for your sharing.
One of my favorite videos so far.
Thought blue is a feng shui no no in the bedroom??
Thank you for watching Bridget! If your bedroom is in the north sector, blue works beautifully 💙
I don’t like accent on tile either.
Love wallpaper too but that room ! Imagine having a hangover with those prints 🤢
lol art is subjective
Im looking for a color to paint my house because my mom doesnt want me to paint the house black 😭
Watch my video on best exterior paint colors for booth curb appeal- lots of inspo plus paint colors called out per manufacturer 🎨
Hard NO on ALL shades of blue for my person and my home. Zero interest in blue.
Thank you for watching Debbie, perhaps black is more up your alley. I have that episode up now, check it out 🖤
@@JulieKhuu you’re speaking my language! :-)
Wish gardeners would stop calling lilacs purple flowers blue are they colour blind!
Ha I never even thought of that!
Nope old lady blue. 😨
Your comment says so much about you.
Old lady green is coming up, hope you’ll tune in 🤗
