Blue and white is a timeless combination that brings refreshing, tranquil vibes to any space. Whether it’s a traditional navy blue and classic white, a soft powder blue and a creamy off-white, or a summery royal blue and a cloud white, this color palette creates a mood.
Many classic décor items, such as Delft pottery and Asian styles of porcelain, rely on blue and white. Adding a few to a space can pop against more neutral backgrounds such as greige or beige while gathering them together in a collection can make a strong impact.
Flowers are a popular motif for blue and white décor and can range from fresh hydrangeas, forget-me-nots, eucalyptus, and roses, to blue floral prints, to more abstract botanical-inspired patterns. Let’s explore the ways blue and white decor can refresh and uplift your space.
