Blue and white make for a refined and timeless pair. Light, airy and always elegant, these two shades are perfect for décor, paint or furnishings. As a bonus, cobalt and ivory also are stylistically compatible with all types of design schemes—from old world traditional to rustic country farmhouse, these hues are lively and lovely in any home habitat.

 

Here a few tips for decorating with a bit of blue and a whisper of white:

A few blue and white pillows are all that’s needed to create a chic style story. Heavily patterned and printed couch cushions give an ordinary living room a bit of panache. A large oversized blue ottoman is eye-catching, while a striped rug adds a bit of flair to the floor.
