Color and Mandala Effects in Home Design
Blululi's thoughtfully crafted creations use color and mandala patterns to turn your home into a serene retreat that supports your well-being. Here’s how these elements work together to shape your living space into a calming oasis.
How Colors Shape Mood at Home
Colors do more than decorate - they influence how we feel and even how our bodies respond. According to Dr. Sally Augustin, Fellow at the American Psychological Association, "Emotional responses to color depend on their saturation and brightness, while different cultures associate specific hues with distinct feelings." This means the colors in your home can help set the right mood for each space.
Here’s how Blululi's designs use color to enhance your home:
- Calming Blues: Perfect for bedrooms, Blululi’s blue mandala prints help reduce heart rate and blood pressure, creating an atmosphere of relaxation. Check out the Ocean Serenity collection, which features soothing shades of blue.
- Energizing Yellows: Bright yellow accents are great for home offices, adding energy and sparking creativity. Use these vibrant touches sparingly for the best effect.
- Greens: Symbolizing growth and balance, Blululi’s forest-inspired mandala pillows bring a sense of harmony to living rooms.
While colors set the emotional tone, mandala patterns add an extra layer of balance and focus to your space.
Mandala Patterns and Their Role
Mandala designs are more than just visually appealing - they bring a sense of order and calm. Blululi’s hand-drawn mandalas are designed with features that encourage relaxation:
- Concentric Circles: These natural focal points draw your gaze inward, fostering a sense of focus.
- Balanced Geometry: Symmetrical designs create a feeling of stability and harmony.
- Flowing Lines: Soft, organic curves help promote relaxation and ease.
When pairing colors with mandalas, think about the purpose of the room. Here’s a quick guide:
| Room Type | Suggested Colors | Mandala Style |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom | Soft blues, lavender | Gentle, flowing patterns |
| Home Office | Earth tones, yellow | Dynamic, structured designs |
| Living Room | Greens, neutral tones | Complex, detailed artwork |
| Meditation Space | Deep blues, purples | Simple, centered patterns |

Choosing Your Room's Color Scheme
Start with a standout piece from Blululi's Living Room Decor Collection - like a bold mandala print - to set the tone for your room's color palette.
Using Wall Art to Pick Colors
1. Find Your Base Colors
Look at the dominant shades in your wall art to guide your main color choices. For instance, Blululi's Ocean Serenity mandala print features deep blues and soft teals - perfect for walls or larger furniture pieces.
2. Pull Out Accent Colors
Focus on the smaller details in the print for accent hues. A mandala with golden highlights could inspire metallic accents in items like lamp bases or picture frames.
3. Create Balance in the Room
Stick to the classic 60/30/10 rule for proportioning colors:
- 60% for dominant colors (walls, sofas)
- 30% for secondary colors (curtains, rugs)
- 10% for accents (decor pieces)
| Color Role | Where to Use It | Example from Blululi |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Walls, large furniture | Deep blue from Ocean Serenity print |
| Secondary | Curtains, rugs | Soft teal from matching pillowcases |
| Accent | Small decor items | Golden highlights from floor cushions |
This approach keeps your space harmonious and makes it easy to refresh with seasonal updates.
Changing Pillows by Season
Blululi's pillow collection offers a simple way to refresh your room throughout the year.
For Spring/Summer:
- Choose botanical mandala prints in fresh greens.
- Opt for nature-inspired designs with cool tones.
- Pick light, breezy patterns that mirror summer's energy.
For Fall/Winter:
- Go for rich earth tones from Blululi's autumn lineup.
- Use deeper, saturated mandala patterns.
- Add warm, cozy color combinations for a snug vibe.
Experiment with your Blululi pieces under different lighting to see how the colors shift. With pillowcases starting at $13.00 and floor cushions at $42.00, you can play with new looks without breaking the bank.
Mixing Patterns and Materials
Blululi's designs make it easy to combine patterns and textures for a balanced, eye-catching look that feels cohesive.
Large and Small Pattern Combinations
To mix patterns like a pro, start by building a hierarchy of scales:
- Primary Pattern: Begin with a bold, large-scale mandala wall print, such as Blululi's Botanical Dreams collection, to serve as the centerpiece of your space.
- Secondary Pattern: Introduce mid-sized designs through floor cushions or throw pillows. Choose pieces that tie into the colors of your wall art for a seamless connection.
- Accent Pattern: Add the finishing touch with small-scale patterns, like those found in Blululi's pillowcases, to create subtle yet stylish details.
"As you start getting ideas pulled together, you're always best served by varying the scale of your differing fabrics. Maybe a larger-scale botanical would be paired with a mid-sized stripe and a small-scale floral. Again, use solids and textures to flesh out the collection and give the patterns a visual foil to play against." - Scot, Media Platforms Design Team
| Pattern Size | Blululi Item | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Large Scale | Wall Prints | Focal Points |
| Medium Scale | Floor Cushions | Secondary Interest |
| Small Scale | Throw Pillows | Subtle Accents |
Once you've layered your patterns, it's time to add depth with textures.
Adding Different Materials
Combining materials within your color palette can elevate your space even further. Here’s how:
Velvet Accents
- Velvet pillowcases bring a soft, luxurious sheen to your decor.
- They contrast beautifully with smoother surfaces like wall prints.
- Use them to introduce rich jewel tones for a touch of elegance.
Linen-Style Textures
- Natural-textured wall hangings create understated visual interest.
- They’re an ideal backdrop for bold patterns, offering balance and calm.
"At Studio McGee, we love to keep the staple pieces subtle and timeless, and incorporate seasonal and trending patterns and colors through pillows, textiles, and rugs." - Shea McGee
For a polished, layered look, pair a sleek mandala wall print with velvet floor cushions and linen-style throw pillows. By anchoring everything in a unified color palette, you’ll achieve a space that feels both dynamic and harmonious.

Where to Place Decor Items
Thoughtfully positioning your decor can instantly elevate your space. Here’s how to arrange Blululi's wall prints and pillows to create a stunning visual impact.
Wall Art Placement Guide
Hanging wall art at the right height and proportion is key to showcasing it effectively. A good rule of thumb is to center your artwork at eye level - around 60 inches from the floor. When placing prints above furniture, follow these helpful guidelines:
| Location | Height Guidance | Width Guidelines |
|---|---|---|
| Above Sofa | 4–8 inches above the back of the sofa | At least 2/3 the sofa's width |
| Over Bed | 3–8 inches above the headboard | At least 2/3 the headboard's width |
| Above Mantel | Center the artwork at eye level | Choose a size proportional to the mantel |
Here’s how you can use these tips to enhance specific areas:
- Living Room: Hang a bold statement piece above your sofa to draw the eye and anchor the room.
- Bedroom: Opt for symmetrical arrangements on either side of the bed for a calming, balanced vibe.
- Home Office: Position prints at eye level to spark inspiration and creativity.
- Hallway: Turn a plain corridor into a mini-gallery with a series of cohesive prints.
These placement ideas not only create visual interest but also help define the purpose of each space.
Room Zone Setup
Defining activity zones within a room adds structure and balance while maintaining a cohesive look. Blululi's decor can help you achieve this effortlessly.
Seating Areas
Layering floor cushions and throw pillows is a simple way to create inviting conversation spots. Use larger floor cushions as the foundation, and add smaller decorative pillows for a touch of style and comfort.
"For a balanced look, use at least two pillows per head plus one decorative cushion."
– Bethany Adams, Designer
Meditation Spaces
Designate a peaceful corner for mindfulness by pairing a large mandala print with soft, coordinating floor cushions. This setup creates a serene area perfect for relaxation or quiet reflection.
"We dress each bed with three medium, square pillows along the back, against the headboard. Then, two large, firm pillows are layered in the middle, with two medium, long pillows at the front. Add a few decorative cushions, preferably with a patterned fabric, trim or some detail."
– Severine Lammoglia, Lead Designer of Soho House
Maintaining Your Design Long-Term
Once you've styled your space with thoughtful Blululi pieces, keeping it fresh and well-maintained becomes the key to enjoying your decor for years to come. The good news? A few simple updates and care routines can make a big difference.
Easy Seasonal Changes
You don’t need a complete overhaul to give your space a fresh vibe. Here’s how to keep your Blululi designs looking their best while adapting them for the seasons:
Caring for Your Blululi Pillows
When your pillows aren’t in use, proper storage and maintenance can keep them looking as vibrant as the day you got them:
- Store them in a clean, dry spot like a linen closet or an under-bed container.
- Fluff them regularly to keep their shape intact.
- Clean them periodically to maintain their color and texture.
- For space-saving storage, consider vacuum-sealed bags - just be sure not to overfill them.
Protecting Your Wall Art
Wall prints are timeless, but they need a little TLC to stay stunning. Store them rolled up in a sturdy protective tube, keep them away from direct sunlight and heat, and frame them professionally to prevent fading over time.

FAQs
How can I select the best mandala designs and colors to complement each room in my home?
Choosing mandala patterns and color schemes for your home can be an enjoyable way to express your creativity. Start by thinking about the purpose and vibe of each room. For instance, soft blues and greens are ideal for creating a serene atmosphere in bedrooms or relaxation areas, while bold yellows and oranges can bring energy and warmth to spaces like living rooms or home offices. Pick designs that speak to your personal taste and the mood you want each space to evoke.
To tie everything together, match your mandala-themed pillows and wall art with your existing decor, such as furniture, rugs, or curtains. If you're feeling unsure, neutral tones with intricate patterns are a safe choice - they can add a touch of sophistication without overpowering the room. Above all, let your choices reflect your personality while maintaining a sense of balance and harmony in the space.
How can I update and care for my Blululi decor to match the changing seasons?
Refreshing your Blululi decor with the seasons is a fun way to keep your home feeling lively and thoughtfully put together. By adjusting accents to match nature’s changing colors, you can create a space that feels in sync with the time of year. For winter, think cozy - add wool throws, soft textures, and warm lighting to create a snug retreat. When spring arrives, swap in lighter fabrics and bring in fresh flowers to brighten the room. Summer calls for airy cottons and making the most of natural light, while fall is perfect for layering rich textures and introducing warm tones like rust, ochre, or deep gold.
Caring for your Blululi pieces ensures they stay as beautiful as the day you got them. For pillows, spot clean or use a gentle wash cycle if the fabric allows. Wall prints can be kept dust-free with a soft, dry cloth, helping them maintain their vibrant look all year long. With just a little attention, your decor will stay fresh and ready to shine through every season.
What’s the best way to mix patterns and textures in my home decor while keeping the look balanced?
To combine patterns and textures in a way that feels harmonious yet dynamic, begin with a primary pattern that speaks to you - maybe a striking mandala-inspired design. From there, introduce a contrasting pattern type, such as pairing flowing organic shapes with structured geometric ones. Keep the color palette unified by drawing a hue from your main pattern and weaving it into your secondary pieces. Lastly, play with scale: let bold, larger patterns shine on statement items like wall art, while smaller, more intricate patterns can add charm to accents like throw pillows. This mix brings balance and personality to your space.
