Teal is a deep blue-green colour. It combines the tranquil qualities of blue with the natural, healing and renewing properties of green. It is a revitalising, rejuvenating colour that’s understated elegance encourages a calm, reflective mood.
Navy (Dark Blue) Bean Bags
Navy (Dark Blue) has been an extremely trendy choice in the fashion industry in the last few years and its popularity is only increasing. In fact, a common saying in interior design is that “Navy is the new Black”. Both colours can be classed as classic as they are timeless, easy to match and constantly look good.
We’ve got some handy hints on how to use the colour Navy to refresh and style your home below;
• You can easily bring navy into your home by using it where you might normally instead use the colours black or grey – for example, by making a bold statement with a navy sofa.
• Navy blue represents sophistication, as well as power, importance and confidence – these are all very masculine feelings.
As such, you may find that if you have a boy aged 9 or older, they will find this bold colour very enticing. If you are planning on redecorating their bedroom when they reach their tween or teen years, navy is a great colour to choose for their bean bag. Our super-size bean bag, the Circular Lounger, is the perfect choice – if you have enough space in their room, that is.
Nick-named the “bear-hugger”, your boy can both sit in it comfortably and stand-up from it easily, so they can use whilst studying, reading or playing games.
• Navy is a colour that people often associate with nautical design and the sea. A great idea is to focus a room around a few bold pieces of navy furniture, such as ottomans or footstools. This will help open the room, and bring about an optimistic, freeing, soothing effect.
Light Blue (Sky Blue) Bean Bags
Light blue is the colour of the sky. It is a vibrant colour that will heighten imagination, inspiration, creativity and positivity.
Although choosing the perfect shade of blue for your decorating scheme can seem like a brave move, Light Blue is actually a very versatile decorating colour and can actually create a modern, airy and pleasant space. Below, we have listed some great ideas on how you can use Light Blue in your home furnishings;
• For a minimalistic look, simply add a splash of this vibrant colour, with a blue bean bag or sofa against white walls and other pre-existing neutral furniture or accessories, such as other white or wooden items.
• For a more playful look, complement the shades of Light Blue with varied shades of blue. For example, add blue cushions or throw-rugs to the bean bags to make the room feel cooling and calming.
• Light blue is a very feminine shade. It represents softness, tranquility and serenity. This is an excellent, soothing colour for decorating your young girls’ room. It also assists with stress, insomnia, and helps inspire creativity and productivity. An excellent choice for a growing girls’ bean bag is the comfortable kids flip chair in the shade of Light Blue, as they can easily move it and use it to rest, relax or read in any part of the house.
• As Light Blue is the colour of the sky, it can also work very well in an outdoor setting. Light Blue bean bags can be very relaxing around the pool-deck, or on your patio.
Teal Bean Bags
Teal is a deep-blue green colour, with an elegance that amazes people at their very first sight. Simply put, it is a unique, classy and beautiful colour that makes an impact. A colour that creates a calming feel, teal also promotes reflective thinking and discourages spontaneity, resulting in a rare sense of style and sophistication.
A few tips on how to incorporate this exceptional colour into your home include;
• Many modern houses have their interior walls painted in eye-catching colours. Teal compliments most colours with ease. Teal walls will also compliment teal furniture such as bean bags in the room with an understated elegance.
• As teal matches most colours, this gives you plenty of room for versatility when it comes to your design. Teal looks gorgerous when matched with other soft colours. For example, if you are using a dark teal sofa, you can always add a splash of colour with green or even yellow pillows.
• Teal got its name from a duck – it is the colour of the area around the eyes of this bird. Thus, it is known as an outdoors, or even oceanside colour. You can use the colour teal to design a bean bag for relaxation around your pool, or even pick it up and take it further, and use it for meditation around a lakeside.
Blue & White Bean Bags
A very popular colour combination is blue and white – this is both Navy (Dark) Blue and Light (Sky) Blue. Below, we give you some insight in how to bring these designs into your home.
• Navy (Dark) Blue tends to have a grounding feel, and it provides some colour in an area that has otherwise natural colours. As such, it is great for use outdoors in a space of greenery. Your choices are also endless in such a spacious area – for example, you can choose to have the Navy (Dark) Blue as the main colour, with only a small amount of white;
• As Navy (Dark) Blue and White are known to have such a nautical theme, another great place to have a bean bag in this colour is poolside;
• The Light (Sky) Blue and White colour combination will create a very soothing, tranquil and serene feeling. This too is perfect for comfort and relaxation in an outdoor area, such as on your pool-deck. Once again, your options are endless in how you wish to design this.
• Another excellent aspect of adding the colour white to Light (Sky) Blue is that it will make what is already an airy space appear even more open. You will then even be able to get creative and complement the two-tone shades by adding, for example, pillows or throw-rugs in an in-between shade of a lighter blue.
Conclusion
You might have realised by now that your options of designing bean bags in shades of blue are almost limitless. You have the choice of;
• Navy (Dark) Blue, which just keeps increasing in popularity. A timeless colour, it is easy to match, and looks as good as a sofa in a man-cave or a lounger in a boy’s room as it does scattered around the lounge room in footstools.
• Light (Sky) Blue is a vibrant colour that enhances serenity. It can be kept “minimalist” by matching it against white walls or be given a more playful look by throwing in other shades of blue such as pillows. It looks just as great in a little girl’s room as it does poolside.
