Color Combo: Powder Blue and Black

click thumbnails for larger pics

Powder blue and black is a favorite color combination, especially for more traditional interiors. While it is a slightly softer version of the classic black and white combo, it still packs a graphic punch and tends to always look clean and fresh.

I LOVE this post!!!!! I am re-decorating my bedroom in the black white and blue colors. I was wondering where I can find the "curvy patterned drapes"?!?!? I clicked on the link for Ideal Home but couldn't find those drapes using their links for the bedroom. Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me the info!!

I love this color scheme. It is what I have selected for my home office/atelier. It is soothing, but the touches of black give everything an edge...
