Bring ice-lake blue into your home, and you will never fear the heat at home in summer again

Crossover Peony has not been online for a long time~ Recently I have been recommending beautiful flower houses for you all, and almost neglected my side gig as a fashion and home blogger

I wonder if everyone has watched the recently popular palace intrigue drama "Story of Yanxi Palace". Besides the satisfaction brought by the heroine's decisive ruthlessness, the color scheme of the entire drama is also unbearably beautiful~ Niohuru Yu Ma abandoned the formerly favored shiny Abao colors and chose a retro, high-end color palette, instantly raising the level of the entire drama.

Sharp friends must have guessed it. Today what Peony wants to talk to everyone about is "color," a color that quietly became popular this summer~

The color from glaciers

I do not know how many people still remember that Peony once introduced to everyone that Pantone announced the 2018 color of the year as Ultra Violet (review | Do not know how to use the 2018 color of the year? These purple flowers and plants already told you long ago)

In the past half year, purple has indeed appeared much more often in the fashion and home industries.

But in Chinese tradition, purple is a noble and mysterious color, and ordinary people do not dare to easily pull it off.And "Ultra Violet" is even more special than ordinary purple. This is a purple based on blue, with a mystery like the starry sky.

Such a special Ultra Violet is truly something ordinary people do not dare to use. Even on the runway, designers gradually abandoned it and chose blue close to Ultra Violet, or used blue-purple gradient colors to replace it.

Thus, Ultra Violet, which made a high-profile entrance wearing the crown of the color of the year, was gradually replaced by blue in the second half.

Think back,it seems everyone has gone through a period of loving blue. Blue is like the white moonlight in everyone's heart. Even if you do not like it now, you must have "loved" it.

Perhaps because blue is the color closest to nature besides green. Once we could look up and see the blue sky, but now we breathe under a hazy sky.Blue can dispel gloom, and it is also a color that heals the anxiety of city dwellers.

What is blue? It is the color of the sky,

the color of the sea, the color of glaciers.

It is forget-me-nots that have fallen into the mortal world,

hydrangeas in the plum rain season.

It is Van Gogh's "The Starry Night,"

"The Great Wave off Kanagawa" in ukiyo-e.

Each kind of blue differs visually, and the blue that quietly became popular this summer is not a blue with extremely high saturation,buta blue with a cooler tone. Some call it "ice-lake blue," and some call it "sky blue."The principles behind these two colors are the same, so they are also very similar.

Ice-lake blue is a color between green and blue, with a dreamy sense of airiness, tranquil and pure. Major brands caught the fashionable flavor of ice-lake blue, and this wave of ice-lake blue first blew up from the runway.

Taylor Swift's favorite brand Oscar de la Renta,

on the Fall/Winter 2019 runway,

ice-lake blue fairy dresses took center stage.

Tibi's runway this year interpreted ice-lake blue

with personality beyond elegance.

The charm of ice-lake blue lies in that it does not only look good on the runway; everyday outfits can also make you look stunning.

For a blue-and-white porcelain dress buried at the bottom of your wardrobe, if you do not know how to match it,

a blue sweater can create an easy fashionable feel.

If ice-lake blue clothing is a fresh girly style, then using it in home design has a healing effect. Young people living under heavy pressure, dragging their tired bodies home, need a touch of blue to relieve stress.

Whether it is a big house or a cramped small apartment, hard furnishings or soft furnishings, ice-lake blue can perform very well.

One wall

One sofa

Even the simplest home, once given a bit of ice-lake blue, immediately gains vitality. Tranquil blue is most commonly used in bedrooms, like sleeping in a small house by the seaside; close your eyes and it seems you can hear the sound of the tide.

Blue walls,

paired with light-colored bedding or bedding in the same color family, all look great.

If you are afraid that you will tire of it,

and do not want to change the color of the walls,

just change the bedding to blue.

When anxious, lying in this expanse of blue,

even the worst mood can be healed~

Perhaps in many people's imagination, would ice-lake blue in the living room look petty? Now Peony responsibly tells everyone, not at all!

As a sofa wall,

it will not steal the spotlight, yet it makes people's eyes light up,

and it is more than suitable.

With blue as the main tone,

transitions between deep and light create a sense of layering in the space.

For a kitchen with little room for expression, ice-lake blue can be used to change the traditional dull and boring tone. The method is simple:no complicated renovation is needed. One set of ice-lake blue kitchen cabinets can instantly make the home stylish.

Blue cabinets have a kind of European elegance,

but not as cold as Nordic style,

and they are very pleasing to look at.

For the choice of tableware, there is no need to be too fancy.

Tableware in the same color family or white is most suitable.

Le creuset once released a whole set of ice-lake blue pots.

Placed together, even laziness is cured.

Everyone is familiar with bathrooms dominated by white, but Peony thinks time in the bathroom is the most boring. When bathing, besides humming a song, there is no second way to pass the time. For a private space, you can be bolder. Why not pair it with a color you like?

All around is dreamy blue,

and stepping in feels like the little world of Smurfs~

Soaking in the bath in a small blue house with gradient colors,

even the bubbles are blue.

Compared with other colors, the biggest advantage of ice-lake blue is that no matter when and where you want to paint a patch of blue, it blends very well. So in terms of color matching, there are no major taboos, as long as it is not too messy.

Walls in the same color family + home accessories,

naturally, will not go wrong.

Vibrant orange-yellow,

creates a lively dual color tone,

and the home will not look too cold either~

Compared with minimalist Nordic style that causes visual fatigue,

blue both retains simplicity

and gives people a sense of happiness rising from the bottom of the heart.

If you do not want to make too many changes, use a few blue items,

and they can heal your restless heart.

After reading these, I do not know whether you all like blue even more. Anyway, Peony now has the urge to paint a wall. Paint one wall, buy a new cabinet, and you can bring back a long-lost good mood. This is the small certain happiness in life.

Bring ice-lake blue into your home,

and let reinforced concrete become soft too.

No matter how many mixed colors life has,

when you return home, it is always a pure expanse of blue.
