Bold blue was a feature in many of Europe’s major fairs this year, with suggestions that it may surpass black as the dark colour of choice. This is possibly because as we spend more time at home, bright blue is a more cosseting colour. Enjoy how these homes have introduced this life-affirming colour in ways large and small.

And remember, you can get more details of a project and see more of a professional’s work, including their contact details, by clicking on an image.
