BLUE is What's in Store — Alice Lane Interior Design

Blue... We're seeing it everywhere! And I'm not just talking the tranquil sun-drenched washed out blue-grays. We're talking straight up Indigo! It's on the cover of this month's issue of Elle Decor and in the pages of the House Beautiful March 2010, 'All About Blue Issue'...

We plastered our primary wall in the store with indigo about eight months ago to get a better grasp on designing with the bold, undeniable strength, yet calm of indigo. We noticed that every vignette comes to life when placed in front of that blue wall! It's a cool, sophisticated space! It feels original and traveled! Blue is so versatile it can be Traditional, Tribal, Oriental, Americana, French... and among so many of your favorite today, Coastal/Nantucket. We get asked about once a month to recreate the feeling in that home from the "Something's Gotta Give" home. Well, indigo is a must if you're going to pull off that crisp casual feel in your space. "Blue is the most versatile color out there. It's subtle, it's strong. It's warm, it's cool, it's neutral. It says a lot in a quiet sort of way. Blue never shouts." - Kristen Panitch, House Beautiful, March 2010
