Design by Color: Dive Into Blue With These 8 Home Goods
We’re back with a new edition of our Design by Color series, a curated look at some of our favorite monochromatic design inspirations right now. Whether it's intentional or not, our favorite colors tend to find their way into various aspects of our homes—in our closets, in the art hanging on our walls, and even our cookware. It makes sense though: Why wouldn’t we incorporate our favorite hues, patterns, and textures into our lives?
Last time, we talked about all things pink, pulling together lighting, home accents, and even a beach chair to fit that warm, bright, and rosy color story. But this time, we’re diving into a deep pool of blues. Whether you’re searching for a shade reminiscent of pool water, a rich navy, or a more vibrant hue, Schoolhouse has got you covered. Keep reading for eight of our favorite blue pieces that'll help you color outside the lines.
1. Teig Lamp
One of the easiest ways to add color to any space is via lighting. This lamp is not only cute (it’s named after the German word for "dough”)—it’s also perfectly sized for any nightstand, shelf, or desk and comes in a deep shade of navy.
2. Channeled Cotton Quilt
Wrap up in your favorite color with this blue cotton quilt. The design is inspired by the quality of vintage quilted jackets, making it a comfortable and durable piece for everyday use. It’s yarn-dyed to achieve a bright blue hue and has a light, casual weight. The quilt is available in twin-, full/queen-, and king-sized options to seamlessly fit onto your bed, no matter the size.
3. Linen Duvet Cover
Give your bed a full monochromatic look by pairing the previous quilt with this pool-blue linen duvet cover. With its durability, effortlessly worn-in appearance, and soft-to-the-touch feel, it’ll be hard to get out of bed.
4. Olive Grove Wallpaper
Incorporating blue to any room just got a whole lot easier with this beautiful wallpaper. The design of soft, flowing vines reminds us of summer days and adds a romantic elegance to any space. Each roll is screen printed by hand on high-quality, coated paper for a look and feel you’re bound to love.
5. Schoolhouse Utility Stool 30"
Add some blue furniture to the mix with this navy utility stool. The industrial design prioritizes comfort—it has an ergonomic stamped seat and molded backrest—while also protecting your floors thanks to its handy rubber feet. Use it as seating at your kitchen’s bar, and you just might stop eating dinner at your dining table altogether.
6. Rugged Rope Door Mat
Bring some color out to your front porch or building’s hallway with this simple yet durable woven rug. Whether used as a doormat or an extra cushion in front of your sink or stove, it features a special weave that helps dirt fall right through, making it easy to shake out and keep clean. It also repels water, dries quickly, and is UV-stabilized, meaning it won’t fade in the sun.
7. Classic Stoneware Mug
Sip your morning coffee out of a ceramic mug you love. It’s perfect for holding any hot or cool beverage, and each is handcrafted and topped with a custom glaze that’s dishwasher-safe.
8. Wire Frame Bin
This stylish bin can easily be used as a trash can or repurposed as a small storage solution throughout your home. Whether it’s holding small towels in your bathroom, dog toys by the front door, or replacing your old, plastic waste bin, it’ll add a touch of elegance to any space.
