Adding deeper colors like russet or old gold warms up blue and white. Also, adding warmer textures like wool in navy helps.

I have nothing but blue and white in our family room and yes, does feel quite 'summery' all year-round. (living in colder CDN climate)

Not yet done, but am going to add woven blinds to the windows to add some texture and warmth. In the winter months, I also add some chunky wool throw pillows (ie. from Pottery Barn) and a faux-fur throw. It does help give a little more warmth just by changing some of those accessories.

lisa_mocha - when you're done I would love to see pics. Your home is so pretty!

Take a really good look at my3dogs decorating style. She uses lots of blue and white, but also brass, copper, fall colors (reds, oranges, green, etc.). Plus her vintage and antique woods always look warm (lots of pine, etc). Her home ALWAYS looks warm.

She is one of my decorating "heros"!

Russet for sure. I have similar colors in a persian, and I never thought the color combo would look so nice and warm.

I agree it's a perfect back drop for some wonderful warm golds, coppers and reds found in changing leaves this time of year.

Here's the google link to white and white decorating-photos-

You can see if there are any pictures that have other colors incorporated with blue and white decor that might interest you-

I second Tuesday's advice - My3Dogs is my hero too! LOL

I display blue and white transferware in our kitchen. The walls are a soft gold (more a candle glow) and there's deep red, blue, gold accents in the room, along with alot of wood and texture.

Lime green or a bright golden yellow! You can't go wrong w/either. ;o)

Bits of yellow everywhere.

I'm in the process of adding some fun, deep coral/watermelon touches for fall in my FR....
such a cheery, warm color with blue!

You Loribee I have been looking at some russets and have been kicking around the idea of navy blue velvet curtains in the future.

Some of the pillow covers that I recently acquired have blues and russets in them.

Loribee - you know I want pics!

Off to paint some more!

Navy blue velvet sounds decadent!! Anxious to see your all your new pix, too.
Heading to a wedding this weekend but will post as soon as I'm done. Thanks!
