As Gail Abbott shows in this beautiful book, the crisp, fresh combination of blue and white is a classic design partnership with numerous variations. From the deepest indigo blue to the palest sky blue, there is a shade to suit every room and every mood. This book divides blues into chapters according to their character: Classic Blues introduces you to color schemes and interiors that have stood the test of time, while Country Blues shows how these colors work beautifully in informal settings. Jewel Blues brings an intense depth of color, while Coastal Blues reflects the softer shades of the sea, from aquamarine to gray-blue, and Outdoor Blues takes inspiration from nature. The final chapter, Collections, reveals how to display your blue-and- white treasures. � The crisp, fresh combination of blue and white is a classic design partnership that never goes out of fashion. � Specially photographed by Mark Scott in stunning houses around the world, this book features classic and informal interiors, and traditional and contemporary homes. � A special chapter shows how to display your collections of blue-and-white ephemera, including china and ceramics, glassware, fabrics, and art.
