I don’t like to play favourites, but you have to hand it to blue, it is a very versatile and persuasive shade! I usually gravitate towards the blue-green hinterland, but lately I’ve been attracted to a different blue – a more immediate and shocking shade. Dark-almost-neon blue, vivid blue, Yves Klein blue, sometimes Matisse blue, the kind of blue that pops and creates energy instead of calming. I have been drawn to bright blues in my clothes over the last year, and as with everything, where fashion leads homeware follows!

I took a chance on a £3.99 candle from H&M (pictured above) and it’s creating the loveliest energy in the room. This statement blue also feels very clean, it brings warmer climbs like the French/Italian Riviera or Morocco to mind. So I thought I would put together a little micro trend round up of my favourite punchy blue accessories. From high end to high street, I love all of these pieces, perhaps the Bold padded chair by Moustache most of all. What’s your favourite? Let me know in the comments below x
