What do you get when you combine the two trendiest colours of the year \u2013 blue and green \u2013 and interpret it in the softest pastel hue? You get one of the most relaxed and elegant shades of all: Duck Egg Blue.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a shade that reminds us of those perfect little boxes of jewellery from Tiffany\u2019s, the quintessential colour of Spring, the softest and easiest colour to live with. It\u2019s a shade that truly never goes out of style, having been popular for at least the last 20 years and certainly not going anywhere.<\/p>\n

With its proven longevity and the ease with which it combines with so many hues and materials, Duck Egg Blue is the perfect colour to decorate your home this Spring and Summer.<\/p>\n

Of course, we\u2019re a bit partial to this shade as our best-selling Jasmine Sofa in Duck Egg Blue<\/a> is the ultimate centrepiece for a stunning lounge. We\u2019ve shared our styling tips here but we especially love it set with some country charm.<\/p>\n

How else can you use Duck Egg in your home? Why not give your walls some love with this glorious colour? Farrow & Ball\u2019s Green Blue<\/a> is a soft subtle shade, reflecting a glowing light without making your room look too cold, perfect for period properties.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Consider off-setting this cool shade with some warmer metallics to bring it up to date. Copper is a great foil for this shade of blue-green as shown in the deVOL kitchen<\/a> below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Outside of the kitchen, consider using Duck Egg on the walls and our Helsinki Lamp<\/a> to bounce light around and create a bit of drama.<\/p>\n

For a more contemporary look, this colour is your perfect companion. Combine it with natural wood tones like our Original Rustic Solid Oak Range<\/a> which will go far in creating a warm and cosy environment.<\/p>\n

Choose a few pieces of painted furniture<\/a> to create a vintage vibe by breathing new life into an older piece. Tamsyn Morgan\u2019s stunning armoire<\/a> fits right into the rustic surroundings with a simple splash of duck egg blue paint.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And for the ultimate kitchen wow-factor, why not choose Duck Egg Blue cabinets as shown in this deVOL kitchen<\/a>? When mixed with gold hardware, you\u2019ll bring timeless elegance to the hub of the home.<\/p>\n
