Continuing our monthly conversation on the new “Power Trip” we turn our gaze towards the new blue wave. Ocean inspired design, materials and textures are bringing the natural connection of water into everyday spaces.
One of the influencers for this trend, Justina Blakeney of the Jungalow sparked interest when her watery teal plaster bedroom appeared on Architectural Digest, a notable shift from her earthy bohemian decor.
Watery textures and flowing edges are rising in home decor and furnishings and blue spaces have also become key features in new home builds and commercial architecture. These spaces may include water features, or blue hues reminiscent of water. At the new Zaytinya restaurant, “Distinctive pops of blue are injected throughout for a nod to the Greek Islands.”
The good news is, these blue spaces seem to impact wellbeing too. According to Science Alert, “‘Blue Spaces’ Seem to Have an Effect on People That Ripples Even Decades Later.” Look for the blue wave to carry this trend forward into 2023 and beyond.
