According to an article published by Homes & Gardens, Jennifer Aniston’s blue library in her Bel Air home is changing the way professionals and design lovers view the use of colors considered “neutral”.
Even those who have always defended a classic palette — cream, beige, gray and white — have surrendered to the power of Jennifer Aniston’s robin’s-egg blue, a shade that dominates the space created by renowned designer Stephen Shadley.
For years, traditional neutral tones were seen as synonymous with timeless elegance. But this began to change when the actress showcased her space covered in a deep and comforting blue, proving that this shade can indeed work as a “new neutral”, offering the same sophistication as the classics.
Homes & Gardens highlights that robin’s-egg blue blends impeccably with the dark woods of the bookshelves, the vintage-inspired furniture and the richly textured flooring — elements that enhance the sense of coziness and depth.
Experts confirm: robin’s-egg blue is the new sophisticated neutral
In the Homes & Gardens feature, interior designer Simon Mayhew, founder of TXTURED, explains why this specific blue transcends trends:
“Robin’s-egg blue doesn’t follow trends because it transcends them. It has a gentle timelessness and a discreet sophistication — it feels familiar and new at the same time.”
Mayhew adds that it is an emotionally engaging color, capable of conveying calm without becoming monotonous. When combined with natural materials — such as brushed oak, leather, bouclé and aged brass — the shade gains depth and sensory richness, transforming spaces like offices, libraries and living rooms.
Versatile, elegant and memorable
For the designer, the secret lies in balance:
“It’s refined but accessible; soft but full of personality. It’s a color that stays in your memory long after you leave the space.”
Jennifer Aniston’s choice, according to Homes & Gardens, reinforces a strong trend for 2025: deep and soft colors replacing traditional neutrals, creating warmer, cozier and more visually interesting spaces — without losing the sense of timelessness.
In libraries, offices or living rooms with vintage pieces and rich textures, robin’s-egg blue emerges as the new go-to for those seeking modern elegance, depth and personality.
