As I’ve been decorating my new home, it’s become clear to me that I’m partial to one color combination in particular. There’s something very elegant about blue and white, so right now I’m focusing on the living room, but it’s really perfect for any room. Here’s the inspiration I’ve been drawing from lately…
Phoebe Howard decorated a home based almost entirely around this color scheme – mind-blowing! Her site has loads of blue and white inspiration.
Best. Bathroom. Ever.

French country decadence. Love it. There is something so lovely and fascinating about china blue paired with white. Can't wait to see what your new home begins to look like after these inspiring photos!

Hah! Right you are…I just bought a scrumptious blue and white area rug for my living room! Its so fresh, pretty, and sophisticated, softer than black and white, and makes other colors pop. Long distance high-five.

Thease are great inspiraton photos. I am very into decorating as well. I have renovated and remodeled and expanded two homes and decorated every inch of them. Big fan of blue and white as well but I like add a pop of color to that scheme. Coral or red or black for example. Can't wait to see your finished home.

Lovely inspiration! Is it possible to be in love with a bathroom? because I think I am haha xx

I hope we get to see what your living room looks like when it is finished!
Those inspiration images were lovely, I'm sure your room will look even better.

I ust love that second photo! Maybe if you are looking for some blue-white vintage decorations I can recommand china from delft. It a very traditional kind of china from the netherlands and I also find it on our Belgian flea-markets a lot. It has kind of a tacky/farm style, if you know what I mean, but there can be very beautiful pieces out there 🙂 x

Whow these pictures are really really inspireing. I whish my living room would look like one of those pictures. It feels like I should try to redecorate my appartment too! 😀

french country decor is my favorite. My hubby thinks its a bit fem, so Ive had to tone it down for our home…but OMG..I just want to step in those photos…so bright and fresh. Maybe if I were that talented he wouldn't think it was girlie….those rooms are perfection.

If I could recreate every one of these rooms in my own home, I would! It's such a timeless, light combination of colors. If only I had another room to decorate in my apartment…

Anything Chinoiserie blows my mind. That would be my ideal.

Wow! These pictures are so beautiful! Very inspirational indeed!
I love blue as well, in fact it's quite a frequent colour in my wardrobe! I find that pairing it with white gives it a really fresh feeling, perfect for spring – definitely a must-try both at home and with clothes!

I agree, it is so beautiful and classic.
I've worn navy every day this week, I can't get enough of it.

The wallpaper in the house fourth from the bottom is magnificent, although I wonder, it could be painted on, which would be even more fabulous. Mental note: paint masterpiece on house walls—hopefully!

So lovely! I've always loved this combination, perhaps because the bowls my mother used when I was a little girl were blue and white with scenes from Japan. They were beautiful, and I've always wanted to find some place settings in this palette. Lovely picks!

These are some gorgeous photographs. I especially love the cottage looks with a little bit of yellow thrown in as well.
