Why hang a blue abstract painting in your home?

Hi, I'm Théo! Blue was my mother's colour of rest. After an intense red period, she always came back to blue, the way you catch your breath. That is exactly what this colour can do for your home : give it air again.

Blue, a colour that soothes

Colours act on our nervous system, which is the whole subject of our article on the psychology of colour. Blue slows things down : it lowers tension, invites calm and gives that sense of space we feel before the sea or a clear sky. In abstract painting, freed from any landscape, it becomes breathing itself, a depth for the eye to settle into.

Which room for a blue painting?

Blue loves rooms made for rest : the bedroom first, where a blue abstract painting above the bed sets a serene mood. It also works beautifully in a study, where it aids focus, and in a bathroom it turns into a small spa. It pairs naturally with white, light wood, linen and sandy tones. And if you like contrast, a bright yellow beside it instantly wakes the whole thing up.

Which format for a blue painting?

For a bedroom, a blue large format above the headboard creates a calming focal point. Above a sofa or a sideboard, a horizontal format extends the line of the furniture. And in an entrance or a hallway, a small blue format welcomes gently.

Three blue abstract paintings to discover

Each canvas by Régine Gardan is a unique piece, hand-painted, signed and delivered with its certificate of authenticity. Here are three that show the range of her blues.

« Éclairci » (80 × 80 cm) concentrates all the serenity of blue in a large square : marine depths crossed by a luminous clearing. Ideal above a bed or a sofa to soothe the whole room.

« Équilibre » (80 × 65 cm) lives up to its name : calm blues in balance that extend the line of a low unit. A horizontal format perfect above a sideboard or a console.

« Noctiluca » (55 × 46 cm) evokes the bluish glow of plankton at night : a more intimate format, perfect for a study, an entrance or to gently start a collection.
