1). Nice Compliment

Blue and white bedroom ideas often need a visual foil to play against.

Adding in warm tones like these soft Sonnette ™ Shades brings an easy-chic feel to the blue, grey, and white child bedroom making the room feel welcoming and warm.

Even plain blue bedroom ideas need contrast to feel sumptuous and rich rather than subterranean and dour.

2). On a Plate

Blue and white pottery is a great place to take inspiration.

Whether the scenic inspiration of Dutch Delft tiles or the pastoral landscapes of the famous Georgian Stoke potteries, the brush marks and depth of tone perfectly illustrates how much range there can be in such a limited palate.

In these Pleated Blinds, a light touch watercolour brush stroke brings a casual freshness to blue and white bedroom ideas.

Patterns can act as a slightly softer touch to an otherwise plain or graphic scheme.

3). On the Wall

Blue and white may be high contrast but the combination always feels fresh and easy.

The edge blue and white décor has over other strong combinations, is that they are a harmonious rather than opposing pairing.

For example, black and white can feel very strong and rarely feels like a backdrop, but more a demanding statement design.

Even dark navy blue fabric wallpaper feels softer and more inclusive than other deep colours.

For a lighter touch, pale blue bedrooms with a delicate wallpaper pattern are so soothing they make a great choice for a welcoming guest bedroom, as they can seem comforting and calm regardless of the age, gender, or taste of your guests.

4). Fresh Breath

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.

Think about a solid side table edge in a glossy metal of a contrasting wool blanket or pillow in ochre to add a pop of warmth.

5). Harbour Style

Navy blue bedroom ideas always benefit from the fresh contrast of white.

This combination instantly shouts American Martha’s Vineyard style. When looking for 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, like 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.

6) Take a View

If blue bedroom walls are a step too far for your taste, try window coverings like these stylish blue tone Duette ® shades that still show commitment to the blue and white cause with a softer range of hues.

These are ideal for a south-facing room that can feel very hot and uncomfortable, as the blue colour cools the feel of the room whilst the ability to place the shade in a wide variety of positions allows both privacy and visibility.

Plus the unique design of Duette® Shades keeps the room cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

If you want to break up the monotony of too many navy blue bedroom accessories and warm up the scheme in winter, a rich woven blanket in warm reds and oranges or a tan tone will layer the mood nicely.

7). Baby Steps

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 an accent chair in blue or a stack of books in shades of blue harvested from other rooms, 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.
