Bold is beautiful. One popular bold statement is the color blue. If you’re looking to explore tile colors beyond your typical neutrals, blue is popular for home design. Bright blues and navy blues have the ability to compliment gold and bronze accents. Blue can be used on your floors and walls to make these accents stand out. If you’re not ready to go all out on your walls or floors with blue, it’s always good to play it on the safe side and incorporate it with neutral colors.

Mix the color blue subtly into white, gray and black backdrops. Make your floors enjoy the cerulean splash with this pairing. Neutral colors keep it safe while still being festive for the holidays. For your Christmas decor, combine your blue floor tiles with yellow gold and champagne gold tones to make the room pop out.
