This Week's Top 5 Favorite 1stdibs Items: Trendy Midnight Blue!

Taking a look at the most recent issue of Glamour Magazine, we couldn't help but notice the trend of deep, midnight blue clothes. The article we read mentioned that "LBD," instead of standing for "Little Black Dress" now stands for "Little Blue Dress!" Since interiors often take a page out of fashion and vice versa, we thought we ought to give you the tools to stay on top of this trend: by showing you some gorgeous, deep blue furniture pieces and accessories from this week's 1stdibs newest listings!

1) Midnight Blue Murano Lamps by Marbro
Okay! We're starting out with one of our own pieces, but look at this color; can you blame us? This pair of vintage Murano glass lamps from the 1950s have the perfect midnight blue to help jump start the trend in your own home!
Price: $4,900
Dealer:
Swank Lighting
2) Organic Ceramic Vase by Renata Mann
This great-looking, handmade sculptural vase is a great example of using Navy blue, a rich color, to enhance other blues in your space. We just love the shape and how good this would look on a table top, too.
Price: $250
Dealer:
Heir Antiques

3) Italian 50's Bitossi glazed pottery bull
It's a bit bright, but we think the hue of this vibrant glazed bull would fit in nicely with the trend of deep blue colors; it would certainly add some excitement to a space, that's for sure!
Price: $800
Dealer:
Gaspare Asaro

4) Pair of Oversized Chinese Cylindrical Jars
These two blue and white Chinese cylindrical jars show a deep blue in its most traditional form: the blue and white. Though blue and whites can be a bit old-fashioned or stuffy sometimes, paired with more vibrant pieces (like those above) they seem fun and young.
Price: $4300
Dealer:
Ceylon et Cie

5) Murano Glass Fish Figure
There's just something about the opacity of Murano glass that gives deep blues the best color, and we see that again with this adorable fish figurine. Combine this with those midnight blue Swank Lighting Murano lamps and your vignette will be unstoppable!
Price: $275
Dealer:
Cannondale Antiques
