Guest Picks: In the Mood for Rich Indigo

Indigo is more in style now than ever — but then, it never really has been out of style! The dye is made from leaves, and it can come in many shades. The color works with a spectrum of colors from orange, red, pink, yellow, tan and green to, of course, light blue and gray. Hand-blocked indigo fabric prints, as seen on some of the pillows below, can give your home a cool, traveled look. And china that’s dark indigo and white blends seamlessly with traditional and transitional decor. You can’t go wrong mixing a little indigo into your rooms; perhaps that’s why so many of my clients (even myself) consider indigo the new neutral. — Mary Ann from classic•casual•home
