Your Blue Color Palette Is Probably Not Complete: Here’s How We’d Fix It (Using Real Reader Homes)

Over my time at EHD (since 2018 off and on), I’ve had the pleasure of peeking into numerous reader homes. It’s always exciting to see how others live, satisfying my inner home voyeur. However, after observing many submitted homes, I noticed a common theme – the color palettes were lacking. Particularly in rooms seeking color help, the majority centered around blue and neutrals, in line with Emily’s style.

Today, I’m revisiting some images that didn’t make the cut for previous posts, shedding light on their color strategies. I’ll share some blue color palette rules and draw inspiration from Emily’s rooms to create expert palettes.

Let’s Look At Some Reader Homes

In one home, the issue was initially identified as curtains, but upon closer inspection, it was apparent that the color palette needed attention. Adding green via curtains and a touch of soft steely blue for variety could elevate the space.


Another home showcased a beautiful room with potential for a more dynamic color palette. By introducing additional accent colors and textures, the room could achieve a more balanced and intentional look.


The lack of a locked-in color palette in another room was the main challenge. By pulling from existing elements like the rug and art, the space could be transformed with the addition of new colors and textures.


In a space that embraced blue, the key was introducing varied blue and wood tones for a more interesting look. By reupholstering seats and adding new window coverings, the room could achieve a more balanced color palette.

For a bathroom that felt too stripped down in terms of color, adding subtle touches of blue through accessories and incorporating more textures could breathe new life into the space without the need for a complete overhaul.

Good Blue Color Palette Rules

  1. Mix in multiple blues: Incorporate at least two or three shades of varied blue tones throughout the space.
  2. Avoid the “pops” of color strategy: Make blue a main character in the design, rather than just an accent.
  3. Vary your wood tones and brown tones: Bring in variety to brown elements in the room for a more balanced look.
  4. Introduce supplemental colors: Add two to three additional colors to round out the palette and make it more interesting.
  5. Make sure there is enough contrast and warmth: Limit gray tones and ensure there is enough warmth in the color palette.
  6. Add neutral pattern and texture: Incorporate subtle patterns and textures in neutral colors to add depth to the room.

By following these rules and drawing inspiration from Emily’s farmhouse rooms, you can create a cohesive and intentional blue color palette that elevates your space. Remember, adding color to your home doesn’t have to be daunting – with a little planning and intention, you can transform your rooms into beautiful and harmonious spaces.

Good luck with your color palette endeavors, and don’t forget to share your photos if you make any changes. Until next time!
