It's no secret that the ultra contemporary minimalism that dominated much of the 2000s and into the 2010s is on its way out. Sterile grey and white interiors are giving way to a new era of warmth and curated colour. Instead, rich woods, textural elements and layering are inspiring a "lived in" look.

One such trend that has emerged off the back of this return to an energised aesthetic is the addition of a bold pop of colour – in particular, blue. As we scan through some of our favourite interiors, it's clear, adding a pop of blue is the mood du jour. Bold, effervescent and soothing, it's a new way to add life and vibrancy to any space without having to completely change the essence of a room.

Of course, we have come with proof. Below, you'll find some of the coolest interiors (and coolest Instagram accounts we think you should follow) that are absolutely making the case to add a burst of blue into your interiors.
