When thinking about the different kinds of blue one can use in their home, many people think about navy blue, sky blue, and royal blue. However, the distinct yet subtle cornflower blue color is one of the most illustrative and unique colors you could ever consider incorporating into your home’s interior design.
Named after the flower it represents, this color can create the kind of pop and allure you have been looking forward to having inside your home. Considering how distinct this color is from many options people are accustomed to using, you might think you are in a tough position when you try to incorporate it into your home.
To help you out, here are five ways you can explore to add color to your home.
1. Textiles
The strongest appeal of such unique colors as cornflower blue in home decorations is using it in small quantities.
Ordinarily, considering how uncommon it is for many people to try it out, cornflower color can appear distinct and strange to the unaccustomed eye. For that reason, you may want to incorporate it into your home gradually.
In this context, try using different kinds of textiles to match your existing décor with the cornflower blue. Some good examples include adding a small pillow of exclusive cornflower blue, a throw blanket on your couch, or an ornamental rug on your desk.
These small textile pieces will help you grow accustomed to the beauty of cornflower blue before you can begin using it in the daring fashions we discuss below.

2. Home Accessories
The next step to incorporating cornflower color into your home to enjoy the pop of color is using it in home accessories.
Have you ever been to a home and noticed that some of its accessories are a different color from the general theme of the house? In those houses, the use of a distinct color separate from the general theme of the house is intended to create a switch from the ordinary, making their style come out.
If you want to add some cornflower color home accessories, consider trying out items such as curtains, carpets, rugs, and desk ornaments. Remember, even as you add such accessories, they should match the general theme of the house.
You don’t want to add modern items if your home follows an antique aesthetic. The same goes if your house generally adopts a modern look.

3. Furniture
Now that you have slowly incorporated cornflower blue into your home by adding small items, it is now time to take a brazen approach to the décor of your home. What better way to upgrade the look of your house than by adding new furniture?
When choosing a new type of furniture to add to the look of your house, there are numerous options to consider. For starters, you can try cornflower-colored couches as part of your new décor. Such couches can work well with silver or grey curtains with similar throw pillows.
Alternatively, consider getting a cornflower blue pouf or beanbag chair if you are unwilling to make such drastic changes to your look. Regardless of your option, you can be sure that the new color will definitely improve the look of your home.
4. Artwork
Art is always an ideal choice when trying to incorporate new colors into your home on an experimental basis. Ideally, since art is replaceable when experimenting with new colors in your home, you can sell or give away the art if it doesn’t strike your fancy.
The beauty of the modern-day art scene is that you don’t need to buy expensive pieces or household names to improve the look of your home. Even with simple prints from digital sources and abstract art from your local painter, you can change the look of your house for the better. Similarly, not all art involves painting. You can try out objects like tiny, cornflower-themed statues or wallpapers. The list is endless.
5. Paint That Wall
Once you have explored all the temporary choices in adding cornflower blue to the décor of your house, it is finally time to go for a complete transformation by painting the rooms of your house in the new color.
As always, the trick is to start slow and gradually move to a more defined approach. You can start by painting a study room or one wall of your bedroom as you evaluate whether you want it to be a permanent decision.
Once you are confident with how the color looks, you can then paint the whole house. If you feel that painting the house as part of a DIY job is risky, you can always reach out to the expert painter in your area for the work.
Parting Shot
While cornflower is not a common color many people use in their homes, this blend of blue, red, and green has a unique pop that will change the entire outlook of your house. You can incorporate the color into your home in various ways, all of which will add the intended effect, depending on your aims. When experimenting with cornflower blue, always start with small quantities before going full-blown cornflower color. Try the options above and see the number of compliments you will get.
