Indigo Blues

Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 5/1/2007 12:00:00 AM

With all shades of blues making news, the revival of indigo should come as no surprise. Prized as a dye for its brilliant blue hue, the ancient shade saturates interiors with cultivated elegance and compelling exoticism. Instead of denim, think batik and bold, enchanting graphics for a dash of spice.

Variegated hues of blue show off surprising depth and richness in Ryan Studio's Aztec Flower Indigo pillow.

Faux raffia and nailhead trim anchor the laidback appeal of Bernhardt's batik-laden Belle sofa ($1,300).

Cindy Ciskowski gives a nod to the exotic roots of indigo with a lush batik print shade and pure white base ($450).

Inky blue splashes define a dramatic Indonesian-style design from Yves Delorme in the Indigo bedding ensemble ($110 to $575).

Stencil Square, made in France by Capel, combines a timeless pattern and centuries-old color with the modern attraction of sunlight-resistant, non-allergenic and fade-resistant olefin ($129, 5×8).
