jen90je , I hope you didn't let one harsh comment ruin your Houzz experience.

There is a lot of great help available here and in some ways Jan is right, just harsh. You would get a lot more response if you had more pictures and you get the most advice if you say your a bachelor.

Sounds to me like you are drowning in a sea of neutral. This is pretty common since we have been leaning neutral for a couple of decades. The problem is that after doing our white on white or gray and white or beige and white and layering all the neutrals we crave color.

I try to blend colors throughout the home using more or less of the same few colors in each room. My current color pallet has one white, one neutral and 3 colors (hues).

My general rule of thumb is approximately 60% neutral, 30% color and 10% accent color.

Blue can range from purple blue to green blue and from silver blue to navy. What will work well with your blue and the other colors in your home will depend on the shade of blue you are using. My mom always told us to look to nature to know what colors work together. Color theory tells us to use a color wheel and geometry to find perfect color combinations. I do both and sometimes find inspiration in a painting or piece of art choosing colors that an artist selected that speak to me.

Blue is the color of the sky and water, some flowers and birds. You can use several blues pairing brighter and subdued together or pair it with most any other color. It is really versatile.

Think of the colors in your home in a painting or like a wardrobe. What coat works with what pants and shoes and shirts and jewelry. What colors do you wear that make you feel like a 10?

What colors bring you joy? Your home should bring you that same confidence and joy as that outfit that makes you feel like a 10.

No one can tell you what color combination makes your heart sing.

Once you know what colors you like with the blues you have already incorporated into your living room you can add a few touches of another color. A vase, flowers or a coffee table book. You could add an area carpet that is gray and blue and has a touch of another color. Use that color in your kitchen with a few touches of blue. In the bedroom you can use a lighter blue or a darker blue with another color and use that color in the bathroom with a few touches of blue.

Pick your pallet and keep layering and adding until you feel like everything flows and is in balance.

I am working on a renovation. I picked my palette from the Red/Purple/Green Slate floor in my entry. My home has red siding and brick. I love color, but have a special affinity for wine reds and purples. I also love coral and lime greens, but had to make a choice and lime green and coral don't really fit with everything else.

Here is a picture of some of my color choices

Hope this has helped.
