Looking for blue and white decor? See my updated post here.
The quest for blue and white pieces is somewhat still a muddy mystery because the vintage ones aren’t quite as easy to find anymore and some of the newer ones can look too bright, too new. I always keep an eye out at thrift stores, hoping for an overlooked gem, but I’m not opposed to buying newer pieces to create a good mix. (For example, the umbrella stand in our entry was thrifted–and a steal–while I ended up buying a set of ginger jars from here that I move around the house.) But as with most anything, Amazon can also be a good source for blue and white pieces to add to your collection. I scoured the site for all things blue and white home and am sharing my best finds. . .
The colors in my house are orange/yellow/red… are there things in this scheme around?? I’ve never been able to find any
Kathryn,
Try searching “red and white toile” and you might find some similar things more suitable to your decor. I know I’ve seen china and pillows and such to fit the bill. And many of the items Emily lists may be available in other colorways. Like I know the lamp in the second picture is by Safavieh and comes in red and white also (although if it is like the blue and white, the white is pretty much a tan color–I ordered the blue and white and was so disappointed I had to send them back :(
Good luck!
Thank you for posting all these great finds! I’m really attracted to the pillow in the top row in the center. When I click on it, I get a page not found error. Do you know if it’s been sold out?
Thank you!
Shoot–I think you’re right. Was there yesterday but it must’ve sold out after I created post. Sorry :(
Where did you get the olive branches?
So…. It has been pouring rain here all week so I didn’t want to go out in my yard to clip branches before I took pictures for this post. Instead, I went up to our attic and tore apart a faux olive tree that had been sitting up there unused for a while :)
Years ago, not too long after I found your blog, before the resurgence of blue and white, I was walking through my dining room and thought to myself, “I should get rid of all this blue and white. It’s out of style and old-lady looking.” And then you wrote a post entitled something like “Why I’m loving blue and white all over again.” Do you remember that one? I’ve tried to go back and find it in your archives but can’t seem to locate it. Anyway, thanks to that post I kept all mine, added to my collection, and have been in love with it ever since. In a way you saved my decorating life. Ha! If you remember the link and can share it, I would love to read it again.
Love that! :)
LOVE this post!! Thank you for curating!
These are great finds! Thank you!
I had no idea Amazon sold fabric. Thanks for the tip!
I’ve read that every room needs a bit of black somewhere – I’ve got that – but what I didn’t realize is that what’s lacking in my decor is a bit of blue and white. What great inspiration you’ve just provided – thank you!
The blue and white décor really adds that touch of color. I like it!
