Celebrate the Season with Hanukkah's Colours
The Jewish festival of lights, Hanukkah, will be celebrated next to Christmas this year: from Dec. 20 to Dec. 28. It’s easy to be influenced by the vivid red, greens and golds we see that this season. But remember that blue, white, and silver are a gorgeous combination not only for your holiday decorating, but all year around. Some say blue signifies water; white is the skies and creation all around us silver adds a festive glow. Let us look at some royal rooms which come to life with this particular mix.

Some blue-and-white rooms are mostly white with a touch of blue. Other people speak volumes by being mainly blue with a touch of white. The deep azure of those walls is extended through the tall blue curtains, creating a majestic jewel box of a room. A simple white couch shines from the rich background.

Hanukkah is the festival of lights, during which candles are lit for each of the eight consecutive nights. A room with light blue, white and yellow accents reflects the season with an inviting and invigorating glow.

Crisp linen-white upholstery with navy piping, classic white-and-blue stripes and gingham patterns choose a seaside feel.

In a white room, even only 1 accent wall of deep azure does the trick. The chrome (silver-tinted) sawhorse legs bring surprise and course to a just designed office.

Here is another example of using a midnight dark blue without committing to each of four walls — or even one full accent wall. Painting the wall region above white wainscoting a midnight blue enables for the same play as a black mix, but one degree lower compared and possible abrasiveness. The yellow-and-white kilim carpet provides warmth and brightness.
Imagine Living
I love this stylized entryway. Royal blue as far as the eye can see feels rich and can be an unusual (read memorable) alternative.
The Baroque white console table and styled mirror which provide loads of flavor and character to the area, which feels grander than it is due to the colour and furnishing choices.
Scheer & Co..
Thick horizontal stripes supply a refreshing and daring approach to incorporate the colour scheme into a little entry.

Thinner vertical blue-and-white stripes in a little powder room are alike jazzy, yet feel reserved and tidy with the white dressing table. There’s a lot happening in this little room, however, the simple and classic colour scheme keeps things from feeling occupied.

Little rooms such as entries or powder rooms are where you need to dream big and take risks. This is only the ideal spot for this provocative lattice-design silver-and-blue wallpaper.

You don’t have to commit to painted walls or backgrounds to try out this colour combo. As we have seen, furniture pairings are only enough to get the work done. This dark blue couch paired with a silver ottoman appears modern, yet timeless.
Niche Interiors
Lovers of mid-century modern design can rejoice in this colour combination that feels natural one of sculptural Danish timber furniture. The stylized white ceramics are a divine pairing together with the deep blue fabric of the couch. And the abstract geometry in the blue and white carpet brings all together.

Vintage lovers can appreciate this pale-blue wall, a collection of utilitarian white ceramics, along with a silver-leafed mirror with just the ideal patina. The room has a country-casual charm however manages to illustrate the appeal of this color palette.
Restyled Home
We maintain referencing the Jewish legacy of those colors, but what I find amazing is that blue, silver and white seems as natural and fresh as a Christmas palette, too. This mantel shows the perfect interfaith balancing act.
