Remember, blue is a cooler color on the color wheel. Adding a warmer tone will balance the room and give it character.

Another way of decorating is with fabrics.

1. Curtains and other window treatments
2. Furniture and chair cushions
3. Placemats and napkins
4. Accent rugs
5. Pillows
6. Towels
7. Decorative and throw blankets
