Color Combo Crush: Blue and Green

Maybe because spring is soon here or I'm missing my Christopher Farr pillows (it is really a toss up . . .) but I am loving the color combo of blue and green.  Though not revolutionary, it is so crisp and timeless.

Christopher Farr's Carnival . . .

We have been seeing so much royal for a while now - it is a classic that particularly lends itself well to the chinoiserie chic trend (think ginger jars) but the addition of green to blue and white makes traditional look much more modern.

Though not a true Kelly green, this sideboard beautifully contrasts against the multi-shades of blue in the room.  I think that's the trick . . .  like with any color scheme, you want to vary your shades.  Without the brighter blue of the hydrangeas, the room would look almost flat.  But with the hydrangeas, it is simply stunning.

Here's another example  . . . I would change the sheets though as the bedding reads almost periwinkle and fights with the royal.  Like the idea though. 

​​

Doesn’t this room just ask out loud for accents in royal blue to make it pop?  Even just doing the bolster (which I think is Leotine Linens  . . . the most glamorous linen company ever to exist) in blue would make such a difference. 

​​

It is a wonderful way to update any room for a clean, fresh feel.  OR better yet - your table setting.  Though not traditionally “Easter,” how pretty would a table setting look with blue and white china and green accents?  So springy.

I'm totally inspired . . .   stay tuned for a follow-up post of fabric combos in blue and green!
