Monochromatic style is a huge trend right now, and it can easily be applied to your interior spaces by adding different shades of blue throughout the entire space.
As you can see in the image above, we added some navy pillows above the blue sofa to bring some elegance and depth while still keep the entire seating area looks flawless.
If you prefer to go with this style, we highly recommend you add some neutral shade such as white or light gray to break up the blue and avoid the potential monotonous looks that can ruin your entire space.

As we already said before, blue is a gender-neutral shade, so it can easily fit with any bold and strong colors such as navy blue or with a more feminine like pink or blush. If you want to create a soft, subtle space with a bit of girly touch, blush can be the best choice.

Another great color idea that you can explore is combining blue with dark green. The dark green accent can bring more flavor to space in a uniquely bold and fresh ambient that blends perfectly with the comfy and coziness of the blue.
However, combine these two different shades sometimes can be quite tricky. And one of the best ways to make them blend is by using any item that had both colors together.
For example, you can use the beautiful area rug as we used in the picture above that had both dark green and blue patterns that cohesively help tie both colors together.
Blue and Orange

Incorporating some orange accent can be a great way to decorating around blue sofa to create a playful surprise and make it looks unique and eclectic. Furthermore, both colors are on the opposite side of the color wheel scheme, and that’s what makes their contrasting effects look beautiful and eye-pleasing.
However, orange is a strong and vibrant shade, so we don’t really recommend you to add too much of this color. In most cases, just 10 to 20 percent of orange accent that spread throughout the space is the sweet spot that can provide the best results.
