Blue and white is a timeless combination, and works well most interiors, I have a number of pieces of blue and white china I collected while living in Asia and have grouped these together on top of my Korean cabinet (see below). A blue and white palette can be used to create a classic, country, cottage,or coastal look to an interior. Today I want to share some varying styles using this palette, from soft turquoise blues to the more traditional French Blue, I hope these inspire you to experiment a little with blue and white.
A soft country look with linens and naive pottery.
A corner of the sunroom where Kim she sits with her laptop and writes for her blog "Savvy Southern Style". Visit Kim's blog to see her home tour.
Fellow blogger Kim from Savvy Southern Style's delightful sun room. I love the blue and white plates displayed on her walls.
The blue ceramic jars add impact to this uncluttered space with a distinct Mediterranean look.
Stripes and soft blues work wonderfully against a background of white for a coastal look.
Lots of interest in this room with a mix of shades of blue and earth tones.
I love the wall sconce's what a great way to show off your most precious items.
I also wanted to share a few shots of my own blue and white collection...
This lovely old Korean cabinet was purchased in Abu Dhabi of all places and made its way back to NZ in my shipment.
Inexpensive blue and white can look effective when grouped together.
My favourite ginger jar, unfortunately not a genuine antique but a very good reproduction as it is hand painted and not transfers... I would love to know the story behind the figures painted on it.
If you enjoyed this post you can view a previous slide show of blue and white rooms "here"...

Thanks for the link to my blog. I LOVE your pillows in that first shot and your cabinet is amazing. What beautiful wood.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your images Kim, such a lovely room you have. Glad you like my cabinet, it has been hauled half way across the world as I loved it so much. Unfortunately those pillows are not mine, that shot is via pinterest, however, I agree they are beautiful and add such a fresh feel to the sofa.

I so love the blues and whites! My home has a completely different color palette, but one day....
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, sometimes it's nice to theme a room even a bathroom with blue and white if you don't have these colours elsewhere in your home. I plan to make one of my bathrooms a touch of Morocco but the rest of my house is an eclectic mix of French and classic with a very contemporary kitchen which I hope to do a makeover on and give it a bit of "country" later this year.

Hello Lee :)
ReplyDeleteFirst let me say that your blog is a great source of inspiration!
I also wanted to thank you for your lovely comment :)
The antiques market that you saw in the pictures is actually located in Berlin, Germany.
We went there this summer with my husband and we both loved it.
But I would also love to visit a French market like the one you have the chance to visit each Saturday :)
Best wishes!
