This statement shade always looks the part. Here's how to give your space a fresh face with indigo blue.

It may have long been a wardrobe essential, but indigo blue can work wonders in the world of interiors too.

Introducing inky shades and decos to your scheme can really set an atmospheric tone, conjuring thoughts of oceans and dusky skies. From striking contrasts to harmonious washes, glazes and trimmings, indigo blue furnishings feel fresh, modern and fluid too – not to mention timeless.

Like pulling on your favourite pair of jeans, it’s a colour that goes with pretty much everything. Here’s how to get the look…
