Certain color combinations work wonders in the kitchen, and blue and white is one of our all-time favorites. Clean, crisp white on its own is certainly appealing, but when a lush blue is added in, a space is transformed by this dynamic duo.
Take Jane Lynch's kitchen, which features a white foundation of wall paint, curtains, and countertops. However, the focal point is an aqua blue lamp with an accenting white shade, which ties the piece to the rest of the room.
The kitchen makes a strong case for decorating with blue and white, with the pop of blue working wonders in the otherwise monochrome space, and designers agree that it's a trendy yet timeless strategy.
