Happy Monday to you! Hope everyone had a great weekend and a happy Fathers day was spent with all the dads in your life. ?I must confess….I am a blueaholic. (OK yes, I know that is not really a word but a word I coined for all those obsessed with blue like me) I so ?love the color in everything from decor to clothing to my car color to just about anything for that matter. Blues rock! I love them from the palest shyest blues to the darkest boldest navy’s. There are few blues that I don’t embrace or see the beauty in. One palette that I have always loved and been drawn to is a soft baby blue, even with?a hint of gray, its such a soothing, serene, calming and elegant color.?
I am planning on my master bedroom being done in creams and pale pale blues. I cannot wait to start pulling it together, right now I am working on the carpeting and will go from there. I am not rushing, as I want it to be right therefore I will do my darnest from making hasty decisions. So in my quest for a beautiful pale blue master bedroom I have naturally acquired quite a lovely little collection of pictures for inspiration as you might imagine! Thought I might share them with you for all you blue lovers out there and for those of you aren’t maybe I will make a convert out of you yet!! Here we go….onto a dreamy pale blue cloud!

And just a little recap for your viewing pleasure….
Hello Tina: Although blue is so often considered to be a ‘cold’ colour, your images show that with the correct complementary tones it does not have to be.
Whenever we have decorated with blue we tend to favour a chalky,French grey tint and do so agree with you that blue can combine beautifully in so many ways to give an elegant finish.
Yumminess! I’m a great fan of pale blues. My living room is done in soft tan and blue, and our bedroom is a soft blue with a darker tan, so I would be hard pressed to pick a favourite here!
I am always enchanted by your posts! My colour palette is fired earth with a splash of red. BUT I have just posted my post for today and you may even have the credit for converting me after seeing this. I too am exploring blue and pale coral or cream for my boudoir. There is a picture with column is palest blue and cream that ties in with some of your gorgeous collection above!Oh and I see you used that lovely linen room again the one I wouldn’t mind living in…
I’m such a blue person, too, and love all these pale blue pretties! You must invest in HB new Blue Book – it’s fabulous. I never would have thought of pale blue in the kitchen and will definitely be printing that image for future inspiration. Have a great day, Tina! xxoo
Your blog is so lovely! I really do like the beuatiful photos! And a stunning mosaic. The coastal dining room and the french bedroom are my favourites. Have a nice week.
Blue is our favorite accent color. The rooms by Phoebe Howard and Shannon Bowers are our favorites. Blue just give a room such softness. Beautiful post!
Absolutely love this! Pale blue in adult spaces is one of my favorites. So soothing and timeless. Cannot wait to see what you choose for your bedroom, it is sure to be gorgeous!
Hi Tina, I also love touches of blue in a room and I already have several of these photos saved in my inspiration file. I could live happily in any of these rooms. Have a great week. xo, Sherry
Tina, Oh yes I have used this color in my master bedroom forever. In fact my master has never not had some form of blue in it. Right now it is exactly this color scheme. Pale blue and cream and I can not see me ever changing it. I had to make up my own formula for the blue because there was not a blue that was pale enough without looking like a baby boys room at the time so I worked with my tinter to get the palest loveliest blue. In fact when the painters firs started painting they thought it was too light and when they were done they said they could not believe how pretty it was. It is a color that my blood pressure lowers when I walk into the room. I love it and I know you will love yours too!!! Kathysue
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of these images tina!! i am recovering blueaholic myself:) our old master BR was that fabulous blue/gray color and i never grew tired of it. check out my post from today… i’m scheduling some guest posts and would LOVE it if you would consider the “Cozy Spaces” spot or maybe the “Work Spaces” day? would love to have enchanted home in the guest post line up:) email me and let me know!
Oh so gorgeous! I love pale blue, especially for my bedroom. One of my favorite colors I’ve used was a Benjamin Moore paint called Ocean Air. It was perfect with the light in my last house. These are great photos; I’ll be adding many to my Pinterest page!
There is a reason this color seems to resonate with men and women, poor and rich, no matter what ethnicity you are. A truly likable color to all human beings. Some fine example of why that is. Lovely.
Lovely pictures..I really love that dressing room-with the draperies. Isn’t it funny that blue is one of the colors that kind of comes and gos…and people always seem to come back to it because of the serenity it brings to a room? xo Diana
Tina, Tina, Tina. You have chosen my favorites today. I am ready to go get some baby blue dye and wash everything in my house in it, or maybe accidentally wash my new jeans in with the sheets. Oops. My kitchen walls are baby blue and this color goes with everything. Just add white to change the richness. Have a great day. Teresa xoxo
Tina, As I mentioned before I have a bluish/greyish bedroom and I love it. This is one of my fav posts of yours. I almost consider certain blues to be neutrals since they tend to look fantastic with almost anything. And Phoebe does blue as well as anyone. Have a great week! Amy
You did a great job finding images of blue in all these different design styles. I love the screen covered like the wallpaper for use as a headboard. I would like to do that.
Oh, your bedroom is going to be an oasis of blue! I never thought of myself as a blue person…but my bedroom ceiling, bookcase and lamps are all a pale blue. There is something so restful and peaceful about that color…and that is what you want in a bedroom, right?!
I’ve always thought that baby blues are blue-ti-ful! I have the best curtains a girl can ask for and they are in that light blue color! Very nice post!
Any BLUE post will always rate in my top 5 and this is no exception. So, so, so lovely! About 90% of your gorgeous photos are in my bedroom inspiration folder and I’m now adding the other 10%. Thanks for this uplifting and glorious selection of blues, I am in blue heaven. Can’t wait to see what you pick for your bedroom.
I’m with you on a pale blue bedroom! It is so perfect! It is so soothing and classic. Have fun can’t wait to see what you choose. xo, Gail casualloveselegance
It took a few tries but I love the blue on the walls of my master bedroom and the cream and light blue embroidered bed linens. I have been like you in taking my time with all the details. Still need drapes and went through your post twice for inspiration. I was thinking of doing a solid cream linen with a trim but so many of the photos have a pattern and it works so well. So, I am open to new possibilities …thank you for that!
I love this post! I can’t believe I forgot to comment yesterday! I was busy with the little rascal. I’m probably going to save every one of the images (that I don’t already have) for my inspiration files. Obviously I love a pale blue. I think finding the perfect blue is as much of an art form as finding the perfect white. I love to mix blues and creams especially in a bedroom! I looove that blue gray chinoiserie bedroom. Soo fabulous!
Love blue too! While growing up for some reason, my older sister received everything pink, and I, blue! I wasn’t disappointed! So many shades! Some say the color that represents heaven is yellow! I say, it’s heavenly blue!

Gorgeous post today Tina. I think we are on the same page today. Mine was inspired by the heat, and the cool feeling you get from a breezy blue..:-)
I can’t wait to see your master.. I am sure it will be perfection! Best, vie
Such beautiful examples – I absolutely loved the cool, yet so comforting, first picture! And the blue kitchen was really beautiful too!
What a beautiful color scheme, it is so very soothing and tranquil. The Lennox and Catherine Cleare are absolute faves, very pretty and elegant.
Have a splendid week!

BEAUTIFUL! I love your recaps so much! I’m also loving those floor length plantation shutters!

Love a good case of summertime blues! I have many of these images saved too, but love the way you put them together!
There is a reason this color seems to resonate with men and women, poor and rich, no matter what ethnicity you are. A truly likable color to all human beings. Some fine example of why that is. Lovely.
There is something so calming and soothing about the blue rooms. We used a pale blue gray for the upstairs office/lounge in our house…we love it!
Tina~
You have amazing taste – love all of your blue examples. xx

The Country French bedroom with the big check is one of my all time favorites. Love the bed nd the warmth of the plaster walls. Just divine.
Phoebe Howard nails the look in her oh so pretty way. I just adored so many of these baby blue rooms.
Tina,

I almost consider certain blues to be neutrals since they tend to look fantastic with almost anything.
And Phoebe does blue as well as anyone.
Have a great week!

I’m in love1 When I was at the beach this weekend, so many of the home stores had beautiful natutical blue pieces in all shades that were to die for!
You did a great job finding images of blue in all these different design styles. I love the screen covered like the wallpaper for use as a headboard. I would like to do that.

I’m a huge lover of blue as well! I like it most in a bedroom!
LOVE. Just painted my kitchen an greyish ice/baby blue.
So tempting to go buy new paint! So soft and serene.

I’m such a fan of blue, especially for a bedroom. Nothing is more perfect than a Phoebe Howard blue bedroom…gorgeous!!
Tina,
Love cream and a soft blue… so much so, that is the palate of our bedroom. It is so soothing~
I’m with you on a pale blue bedroom! It is so perfect! It is so soothing and classic.
Have fun can’t wait to see what you choose.
