TREND REPORT: 5 Blue Hues We Love

March 31, 2022

emser shades of blue trend report

There are many ways to include blue in your design — adding a bright blue piece of furniture or splashing blue paint on your walls. Our favorite though, is to design with blue tiles.

Check out 5 blue hues and looks we love, from our various collections.

Blue Pattern Play

Patterned tiles can make for an impressive wow factor in any room. We love using patterns for a statement wall, floor, backsplash, or in an unsuspecting spot like under a kitchen island. We have a wide assortment of blue patterned tiles that range in hue and design. Blue compliments a variety of color palettes and styles, which makes it an ideal shade for pattern play.
