Classic, Timeless, and Traditional Blue Bedrooms

Inspiring Blue Bedrooms With Romantic Style

We have to start with the Cathy Kincaid designed bedroom(above) in her own blue-filled home.

The Well Adorned Home by Cathy Kincaid (Rizzoli, 2019) book cover.

If you have not yet seen Cathy’s house tour, oh good gracious, you must see it. You’ll be spoiled for good taste and timeless elegance and may never be the same:

There’s something utterly charming about mixing patterns and prints with blue!

Sometimes the overall effect is quite traditional, but it can also have a modern twist:

Do you love your blues more on the softer aqua side? Remember the blue grasscloth, gingham, and classic style in this Tristan Harstan bedroom (from the Southeastern Designer Showhouse 2017)?

Canopy Beds & Fabric Panels

There’s something utterly romantic, classic, traditional, and timeless about canopy beds! And curtains on a bed…what a dream. Have you ever had a bed dressed with fabric panels like this?

Blue bedrooms are perfect for coastal design fans! Are you a coastal grandmother?

Just a Touch of Blue

If you’re more of a neutral color palette person, bear in mind even a mere touch of aqua can feel just right:

You can also skip blue walls and opt for silvery blue-grey trim like Desiree Ashworth did in her former Utah cottage:

Wallpaper & Classic Resources for a Bedroom

There are so many lovely wallpaper patterns to fall in love with, and what charm they bring to rooms lacking architectural interest, character or a view of a lighthouse!

But which blue?

This newish paint color Headspace (above) from Clare caught my eye, and I am a huge fan! Wouldn’t it be amazing on a ceiling?
