Blue and White

 There is nothing more classic than a blue and white color story. The thing is, how to update it? So it doesn't look tired or old ladyish. I say mix in another color just to spice it up, like turquoise and aqua. Mix turquoise accent pieces with blue and white porcelain objects. Then bring in pillows or a chair in a fabric pattern that has the blue, white and turquoise or aqua in it. All of this works quite well with large pieces or areas such as sofa and walls in neutrals, which could be either beiges, taupes, browns or greys.
