Blue & White Decor & Amazon Finds
Today I’m going to focus on blue and white decorating, which has been a “thing” for bloggers for a few years now.
Not that blue and white decorating will ever go out of style, but the interest was certainly increased. And I was seeing blue and white rooms all over the internet.
Blue & White Decor:
I’ve been adding blue and white to my living room over the last few months as well. Mixing it in with my favorite combo of all time; red and white.
Above is the blue and white area in my living room that I worked on recently.
The blue and white lamp is from Target. The bowl and decorative orbs are from Tuesday Morning. And the vintage-style clock is from Amazon.
Below are a few blue and white decorating photos from bloggers who have decorated their homes in this color combination.
Three Bloggers & Their Blue & White Decor:
French Country Cottage sure knows how to put blue and white together with this blue and white transferware and gorgeous pink flowers.
And on the white weathered table, the beauty is even more striking.
Designthusiasm specializes in a soft and typically French country style.
The guest bedroom above is a friend’s country home outside Paris. The guest room was where Lory stayed when she visited.
Maison de Cinq also has a way with blue and white in her home. This blue and white tablescape is set up with pretty kitchen elements that are arranged so beautifully.
Blue & White Mood Board:
Here is a mood board I created with some of my favorite blue and white decorating finds at Amazon.
1)chair, 2)lamp, 3)throw pillows, 4)garden stool, 5)vases, 6)curtains
Crisp white and cool navy blue was my color combo years ago, back in the 1980’s.
I recall I had two navy ginger jar lamps with white pleated lampshades. The lamp bases were probably about 16 inches wide at the center.
I have no idea what happened to those lamps. But I loved that look.
Back in those days we drove into town to furniture stores to buy things, because there was no Amazon or online sites. Or even the internet!
Fast Forward To Today’s Technology:
Now you can sit from the leisure of your favorite chair and order from almost anywhere and have it delivered right to your door. Often for free shipping too.
Now that’s quite a jump from driving to furniture stores, one after the other, looking for just the right piece of furniture or lamps to decorate your home.
My, how things have changed over the last 40 years! I guess that’s called technology and progress.
Do you like to decorate with the combination of blue and white in your home?
Note: And I still don’t have hot water. A plumber came yesterday at 4:30 and will be back today.

I have always loved blue and white – so classic! Although I really enjoy the convenience of online shopping, I still prefer to see my furniture in person. But, that’s becoming harder and harder!
I love blue in all it’s many shades. I’ve used it in my home for years. I recently have become somewhat attached to teal, also, mixing it in here and there. And white or it’s various subtle shades always works in combination with the blues. Your lamps are gorgeous and I think they will wear well for years in your decor.
A fun post. Thanks for sharing it.
I love blue and white and have a huge collection of Blue Willow and vintage transfer ware!
I’ve always been a fan of blue and white, especially with dishes. I recently got a stack of pretty (small) blue and white plates at IKEA:

I took a peek – so pretty!
Blue and white are awesome…blue and silver ok too…but anything blue has always made me feel happier!!
I like red, wte and blue colors around in the summer for decor. Some pastels in the spring to liven my house up. In the fall I love all the rust, golden, orange colors that are vibrant in my house. Of course Christmas I decorate every room downstairs and some upstairs too!
Leave a big pot of water on the stove than u can heat it up for hot water if u need too!
Blue is my favorite color! If I was to buy an item that came in several colors, I would pick the blue one!
That’s me, but with purple! 💜However, blue is my second favorite color. 💙
I’ve been a fan of white and blue for many moons. I never tire of it!
I’ve always like blue and white. It’s very crisp and clean in appearance. My bedroom is primarily blue (dark denim) with splashes of white, red (my favorite) and a little pink. Very peaceful and serene.
I know you have a scrappy blue quilt, Brenda but do have a scrappy red quilt? Two color scrappy quilts are fabulous.
Goodness, I hope your hot water issues are resolved today.
My all time favorite color combination, although I love green more and more. Peaceful, serene colors.
Sure hope the water situation gets fixed sooner than later.
Hang in there, Brenda and Ivy!
Blue is one of my favorite colors. Lovely post!!
I’m not typically a fan of blue, but that bedding set is gorgeous. You always find the best stuff, Brenda.
Do you think there’s a trend to blue decorating in response to the global heating we’re experiencing? I wonder if it’s subconscious!
Before my current green and red whole house scheme, I used blue and rust. Blue, however, was too dreary for north facing rooms. I moved to warm tan and red for those and I’m much happier now.
You found some great pieces to decorate with. I love the contrast between the lamp and the orbs…..dark, light, size, shape…..all those elements of design nicely utilized!
