Get the Look for Less: Blue Country

Decorating isn't an exact science nor does it have to be literal. Ideas come from all walks of life. This image from The Way We Live in the City could possibly be an attic or storage room but it hit me with inspiration from all angles. I instantly thought of a linen closet with floral papered shelves and blue painted walls or a bathroom with a floral shower curtain, lilac painted walls and blue and white striped towels. All I knew was that I loved how relaxed I felt gazing at the picture.

For this post, I went with a bedroom (master or guest) because of the sumptuous pile of linens. I love how all the different shades of blue and a hint of lilac purple work so well together. Aqua, sky blue and turquoise – who knew? Oh, and that roll of wallpaper tucked in the corner of the picture hit me like shazzam! Mixing in one or two elements of intensity like the turquoise cachepot or aqua and pink floral wallpaper adds a nice surprise to the softness of everything else.
