Blue & White~Decorating Ideas

For a classic color scheme that never goes out of style, you can't go wrong with blue and white. It has a serene and inviting feeling that can be used in any room of your house. Blue and white decor is actually called CHINOISERIE. Pronunciation: chi-noi-se-ri. Chinoiserie is the imitation or evocation of Chinese motifs and techniques in Western art, furniture, and architecture, especially in the 18th century. Here are some of our favorite ideas: 1.
