Blue sky and sea, green grass and leaves. Maybe I’m obsessing over blue and green because I’m so ready for Spring.
What’s more prominent in nature than blue and green?
I really need to go to the beach, people.
I particularly am drawn to vivid blues paired with avocado greens, but I guess that’s becoming obvious!
Is this so different than what we saw about 50 years ago? Check out this room in a 1964’s McCall’s Magazine.

What’s old is new again, right? That’s just fine with me.
Love the look of these blue and green bedrooms:
It doesn’t have to be ALL blue and green – why not add another fun color, like a shot of hot pink?
What comes around, goes around. I know I’m not the only one obsessed with this color combination. How do you make blue and green work in your home?
I adore these colors together too
As much as I have always wanted to, I have never been able to get any room in my house to look anything anywhere near as put together as any of those…. *sigh*
Very soothing colors. I felt calmer just looking at the pictures. Imagine how I would feel if my rooms felt that calm. I agree with Jamie, my home does not look that put together. I didn’t see a single Fisher Price or Little Tykes toys peaking from under the sofas! *double sigh*
great minds think alike. i was just considering this color palette for a post this week too! love that you included some vintage images for reference! how fun! (as always)
Agree…there is something so sweet and calming about green and blue together!
definitely a nature thing!
Great post! Thank you for your inspiring blog.
That chartreuse couch in the first photo needs to be in my life.
You make me laugh ‘cos I was obsessed with sunny yellows and pale grassy greens at the start of our summer here in Australia! Now it’s turning colder and I am getting into bright reds and oranges with intensity of colour..isn’t it funny how the seasons really impact us colourwise.
Love the bedding! Makes the room feel so serene and peacful!
I got my king sized bed. Looks like I have to HomeGoods to get the bedding!
sorry that comment was actually for the bedroom post!
Earthy blues, greens & browns are my favorite! Maybe you can help me with my living room dilemma… I have a beige sectional, with muted blue & avocado green pillows, we have brown curtains (for now) & all our furniture is espresso colored wood. What color should I do the walls? Just an accent wall of green? Or a nice vibrant medium peacock blue? Im so torn!!
i’d do a muted grayish blue on the ceiling – it would lift your ceiling and give you a subtle infusion of color at the same time!
I love all of these pictures!
I’ve always been a big fan of blue and green paired together! Back then,any time I wanted to go with that in decoration, it seemed not appropriate. Thanks to you Kristie, now I can go with those two colors confidently! 🙂
