Blue and White Kitchen Decor Inspiration {40 Ideas}

I have a little experience with blue and white decor at home, but you have to venture back into our home history. In our first home in Elmhurst, Illinois, we gutted a tiny 1920’s kitchen and created a navy blue and white kitchen we found charming and beyond cozy. 

Many years later we bought a second home and chose a tranquil blue grey for the painted cabinets along with plenty of creamy white.

Even when you decide on a blue kitchen, there are so many possibilities with the range of color options!

A sound track to accompany the blue kitchen photo gallery? Why not?

Here’s one of my favorite Roy Orbison songs mentioning the color of the day and easing my mind back to a simpler time…if you don’t have time to listen to her whole performance, definitely don’t miss the gorgeous vocal moment at 4:00!

But I also love this bluesy blue song which I listened to on repeat in my angsty teen years…

Beautiful Blue and White Kitchens to Love!

These blue and white kitchens provide miles of inspiration beyond the beautiful color palette. You’ll find ideas for kitchen islands, kitchen pendants, beamed ceilings, tile flooring, kitchen sinks, and much more.

If you like a very light, airy, slightly modern look, here’s a kitchen with a beautiful blue island:

If vintage style hardware appeals, this may inspire:

Warm copper accents are glorious with cool blue!

Even though I tire of patterns quickly, I am not sure this gorgeous floor tile would ever get old for me. It’s so cheerful.

Will we ever forget Sally Wheat’s tranquil kitchen from what seems like a lifetime ago (in internet time)?

This kitchen inspired so many of you to remove your cabinet doors!

Glass front kitchen cabinets are another way to lighten things up.

I have always admired the more European inspired “wall of cabinets” with floor to ceiling storage.

Blue Kitchen Backsplash Inspiration

What a statement this pretty blue backsplash behind the range makes!

If a dusty turquoise is more your jam…

And aren’t warm gold tones wondrous with blue?

This is one of my all-time favorite kitchens of all time!

And of course, it is in Provence!

Here’s a coastal kitchen where the blue accents feel like a neutral accent:

It doesn’t get much more elegant and opulent than this:

A blue ceiling is less common in the kitchen than a Southern porch…

More folks are opting to use blue in two-tone kitchens like this:

I’m noticing two different metals used for kitchen hardware as well.

This scalloped detail has me swooning:

…and do you love how blue was used inside the cupboards as well?

Blue Cement Tiles

Checkered everything is all the rage in design right now!

But it truly is a classic look than just happens to be trending. Not unlike subway tile:

Sometimes all you need is the statement blue range:

Why not find the right shade of blue for your cabinets from nature?

Classic architectural details like the fluted ornamentation (above) are popular with younger buyers.

Memorable F&B Light Blue Kitchen

So many readers have emailed me to ask about where they might find blue grey plates like the ones here:

But the designer says she has never seen the vintage examples anywhere else.

It’s important to try a sample of paint first. This F&B Light Blue is actually very blue-green, and with strong natural sunlight may strike you as green.

And if you’re after a chalky light blue, look at the section of grey swatches – otherwise you may end up with the dreaded “baby’s room cloying factor.”

Two-tone Blue Kitchen

I haven’t seen too many two-tone kitchens where navy is used with a light wood rather than a bright white.

deVOL uses color so intelligently, and blue is no exception.

Here’s an example of blue cabinets with a white waterfall countertop:

Blue Grey Kitchens

I’m so fond of how this blue and white works with linen tones in the window shade and woven stools.

Do you love the shade of blue on the wall above the subway tile backsplash?

According to color psychology, “Blue is a color that suggests peace. It’s the color of the calm sea and the clear sky, both of which are linked to inner serenity, calm and clarity. Blue was also shown to slow heart rate and breathing, so it can be a good color to aid in meditation or relaxation. Blue is associated with intelligence. It has been proven that different shades of blue can improve concentration, stimulate thinking and provide mental clarity. It also improves productivity. This is a good color for study and work, as it offers relaxation and stimulation at the same time.”

How is blue different from red? “

Blue is a color that is linked with confidence. Unlike red, which shows aggressive dominance, blue is related to a calm authority.

Blue inspires trust, it is non-threatening and shows persistence.”

Ever considered the relationship of the color blue and emotion? “

Another characteristic of blue is that it is not a very emotional color. It can be described as aloof or snobbish.

Just as it is associated with intelligence, it can be associated with being cold and rational to a point of showing little emotion.”

Here’s a banquette covered in blue and white stripes:

And wouldn’t this also be a cozy nook in which to gather?

I also learned from color psychology research how blue is an unappetizing color which is curious since so many folks love blue in the kitchen! Is blue kitchen decor for people who are watching their portions or maybe attractive to folks who don’t do a lot of cooking? Food for thought.
