While turquoise and navy blue are always en vogue, the latest variation on blue is Pantone Universe’s rising Riverside shade. This earthy, airy blue is quickly making a splash in the world of décor, and can easily brighten every space from your bedroom to bathroom. If you’re wondering how to decorate with Riverside this season, try incorporating these ideas into your interior design scheme.

Bring a Riverside Blue shelf into a neutral dining room: For a contrasting effect, try refreshing a classic white space with wooden shelving in this punchy autumn blue. The Riverside paint will contrast against light-coloured hardwood flooring, darker blue wooden chairs and ivory-painted walls.

Revamp your bathroom walls with a coat of Riverside: The eye-catching, rich blue shade can bring new life to an average bathroom which is in need of a paint job. Update your walls with Riverside blue, and add a dark blue and marble bathroom sink for an elegant effect.

Transform your living room with a Riverside sofa: The look of plush blue velvet can bring a cozy, autumnal feeling to any space. If your living room has become a dull expanse instead of a welcoming area, turn to Pantone’s latest colour. A Riverside Blue couch, printed accent pillows and an imposing wooden bookcase help to complete your décor. Meanwhile, tiny glass tables and neutral throw blankets can lend a contrasting effect.
