Although the color combination is about as classic as they come, crisp blues and whites look as stunning in modern spaces as in their traditional counterparts. The combo lends a refreshing edge to both spare and maximalist rooms.
Although many often associate blue and white with coastal homes, the combination is certainly sophisticated and versatile enough to grace a variety of styles and environments especially when a variety of patterns are used in layers.

Where is that rug from in the third picture? I LOVE it!
To me, Blue and White is at it's best when it's balanced with neutral/caramel tones: Wood, Rattan, Leather...
...such as in pix 3 and 9
eesh. it's all a little to precious for me.
The only thing better than blue and yellow is blue and white. I love.

Does anyone know what shade of blue that is in picture #9? Or if anyone knows something similar? Thanks!
