Creating A Beautiful Blue And White Bedroom Effortlessly

At once both fresh and homely, refined but great for every day and an accessible style solution which can soothe many a cross-gender decorating war. In fact, blue and white is the ideal place to start for bedroom colour ideas that capture the popular vote.

It’s also hugely versatile; depending on the proportions in which each shade is used, a blue and white bedroom can feel fresh Danish or have an All American, Sag Harbour quality. To get you started, we’ve rounded up some of the best blue and white decorating ideas to your creative ideas flowing.

Blue and white bedroom ideas often need a visual foil to play against. Adding in warm tones likes these Wooden Venetian Blinds can bring the easy chic feel of French Breton stripes in the linear structure, and let the different tones of blue stand out; with only the white for contrast the design could feel very flat and one dimensional. Even plain blue bedroom ideas need contrast to feel sumptuous and rich rather than subterranean and dour.

Blue bedroom accessories add some instant cool, refreshing interest. But for an added dimension try some harder materials to make the lighter shades seem very lightweight. This glossy ceramic light and even the side table edge, make this sky blue feel much more modern as a material than a pale blue wool blanket that can feel quite ethereal.

Navy blue bedroom ideas always benefit from the fresh contrast of white. This combination instantly shouts American Martha’s Vineyard style. When looking for a blue paint for walls consider how it will respond to both daylight and electric light: enough of the room needs to accessorised to lift the scheme during the day so the shade isn’t oppressive, such as adding in these white letters on the wall, implementing blue and white bedding ideas and these fresh white wooden shutters.

At night choose yellow-based light bulbs or shades to warm up the tone of the light as it strikes the paint to create an expensive-feeling golden glow.

If you want to play with blue and white decorating ideas for a bedroom there are some simple tricks to get the look, before you enter a long-term relationship. You may have an all-white bedroom already that just needs a refresh and if not, create a backdrop with chalk white paint for an easy base.

Then start adding small touches such as a stack of books in shades of blue harvested from other rooms in the house, or stems of blue hydrangeas, Iris or cornflowers. Try a blue and white water jug thrift store find, or a small blue and white pottery bowl for keeping rings and other trinkets.

You can take your time finding blue and white treasures and let them gradually take up more of the scheme, like a gently rolling, sea blue wave. A calm, mindful way to decorate, and seemingly appropriate for the delightful scheme that is timeless blue and white.
