Isn’t this heavenly blue pattern a dream on the walls of a dining space in the UK?
Psst. The pretty blue and white tablecloth is from Daylesford HERE. I previously reviewed Carole Bamford’s stunning book – time to order a copy?
This book treats us to elegant table settings, homegrown flower arrangements, seasonal recipes and inspiring interiors. (Can you even imagine pairing these lively greens with a bit or a slew of blue?)
The Daylesford Farmshop opened more than two decades ago on Bamford’s Cotswolds estate. It became arguably the best organic country shop of its kind, with a garden center, exquisite housewares, beauty and fashion products sold around the world.
This book spotlights never-before-seen areas of the estate, restored cottages, and delightful gardens. Decorating and entertaining ideas feature seasonal flowers and tabletop ideas with a rare view into Bamford’s lovely way of life.

Decorating With Blue Patterns
Mixing prints demands courage!
Wallpapered bathrooms (especially powder baths) have been around forever and are also on trend. It can seem like a grave commitment, but think of the daily returns from an uplifted mood.

Easing into Blue?
Not sure about living with bold blue patterns on the wall? You could start with a smaller fabric/art piece from an artist/designer you admire. For example, a custom pillow with Rebecca Atwood fabric or a framed panel of wallpaper.
A few favorite classic blue and white wallpaper patterns are RIGHT HERE.
Isn’t it surprising how striking wall coverings can be combined with standard fixtures?
While it is more common to see blue as an accent with white, blue can certainly play the starring role:
