Decorating with Denim Blues

Denim jeans are probably your favourite item of clothing. It seems like they go with everything from white and black, to florals, to red and camel. By adding just a few accessories, you can wear the same jeans in the office and later at a chic cocktail party.

Can the same versatility be applied in your home decor? Yes, for sure.

A sofa or chair covered in denim is a good place to start. It's classic, soft, and practically begs you to sit down and stay a while. Choose pre-washed fabrics for the softest feel. And keep your chair out of direct sunlight or you'll find it fading in all the wrong places.

Baskets and wood boxes also fit well with a denim scheme. Use natural wood tones or try painted styles in barn red or navy blue. Denim fits comfortably against walls of white, camel, and yellow. You can repeat the denim blue colors in your window treatments, pictures, and accessories. Read more
