To give your room a coastal vibe with Oriental blue and white porcelain, finding the right balance is key. You want that easy, breezy coastal style to mix nicely with the detailed and elegant chinoiserie elements. Here’s how to set it up:
Start with a Neutral Coastal Base
- Wall Color: Go for light shades like soft white, creamy beige, or pale misty blue.
- Floors: Pick natural wood (whitewashed or light oak works great) or sisal rugs to keep that beachy feel.
Introduce Blue and White Porcelain as Accents
- Ginger Jars, Vases, and Plates: Use these as standout pieces on mantels, shelves, or side tables.
- Grouping: Arrange the porcelain in odd numbers (like three vases in different heights) for a more dynamic look.
- Contrast: Set your porcelain against natural textures, like a rattan console or rustic wood shelf, to blend those coastal and classic styles perfectly.
Use Accent Colors Thoughtfully
While blue and white should be the main colors, add in some subtle touches of sea glass, green, navy, or sandy tones through throw pillows, artwork, or flowers.
Style with Greenery and Florals
- Florals Use white hydrangeas, orchids, or peonies in those blue and white porcelain vases.
- Plants: Toss in some breezy greens like ferns or palms to keep things fresh and relaxed.
