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.
