At Home with Blue & White

In E's and my home, I found myself selecting green as an accent color in many of the rooms, but my mom has always been a blue and white lady. Perhaps because it reminds me of her and of home, I find myself drawn to and comforted by rooms that utilize blue and white in their color schemes.



More and more, I consider incorporating this palette in our next house, and if I were to do so, all of the following options are items I could use to introduce the color combination into a room.

    It's just always fresh and can be accented with so many other colors. In some ways blue is kind of a neutral!

    Lots of great blues here ... .
    I always feel a blue palette is strongest when it's kept very pure /
    not a lot of other colors mixed in.
    Your pics certainly prove that
    theory!
    (kind of like the simplicity of that
    winning Chelsea garden ... . .)

    I have been obsessed with navy/white chevron patterns lately as well as blue & white ikat, so this is right up my alley. Navy is a great color--love!
