Figure B
Blue is being used in a variety of new ways to start a design conversation in every room of the house.
  • From blue and white porcelain to bedding and window treatments, blue is finding its way into more and more rooms as designers find it calming, timeless, versatile and genderless.
  • Blue combines most readily and traditionally with white. They can almost be considered earth tones together, bringing a sense of natural color and glow to any room (figure A).
  • Blue is a color that asks to be repeated and this can happen with small touches . Pieces of blue and white china, some throw pillows or blue lampshades on simple white lamps can bring a subtle accent into any space.
  • Surround glasses full of flowers with beach glass as a table runner and add coordinating napkins for a beautiful blue tabletop display (figure B).
