Red and blue are a perfect combination for summer decor. It's fresh, nautical and pairs nicely with other summer colors like yellow. Plus, if you love mid-century modern aesthetic, these three colors are a classic and will work great in your home. A touch of blue and red here and there will energize your space.

Turquoise is not blue.
This is fun. Our bedroom is white with lots of Scandinavian inspired reds, blues, yellows and greens. Turquoise may not be primary, but it's in the family, and if it works then who cares.
Very fun I like it very much you can find fabrics and pillows in those colors in my website www.ocott.com.
I think you will love it.
We love this post and are huge fans of decorating with primary colors!

This is great, I'm actually planning on using these colors in my living room. I just have to beg the question, why oh why oh why are pillows so gosh darn expensive?? Ouch, my budget.
