How to Decorate a Kitchen With Cream and Baby-Blue Colors

Cream and baby blue offers a fresh kitchen color scheme, yet connects with certain traditional china patterns and pottery. Pairing the pastel baby blue with the neutral color, cream, creates a warm decorating theme that maximizes natural light and coordinates well with fabrics and dish displays. Cream goes well with all colors without clashing. Decorate a kitchen with cream and baby-blue colors for an inviting effect. Your choice of accessories can personalize this color scheme to suit your style.

Instructions

    • 1

      Add curtains that play up the light color scheme, such as cafe curtains. Cafe curtains cover the lower half of the window for privacy, and leave the top open to maximize natural light in the kitchen. Alternatively, hang translucent cream or baby-blue curtains if you need privacy or want to block an unappealing view, while still allowing in light.

      A plant in a baby-blue pot creates a living accent.

      Create a display of baby-blue dishes or delftware on open shelves or in a cream hutch to give the kitchen a functional and decorative focal point. Use plate stands to show off the plates, and display matching items such as a delftware bowl of fruit and a teapot on the counter.

      Decorate the chairs, counter stools or banquette with baby-blue and cream print cushions, if you have an eat-in kitchen. Add coordinating kitchen towels and pot holders. For example, hang cream and baby-blue solid towels together or a set of print towels, such as striped or checked baby-blue and cream towels.
