Just when you thought it was all about pantone's hibiscus, pale dusty blue rooms seem to keep popping up. While at first the doses of blue seemed puzzling, after some thought they seem right in line with the moment.
I think of these rooms as the grandchildren of the chinoiserie mural revival,they are a sophisticated and up-to-date interpretation of chintz AND pink. The dusty blue ground provides the perfect foil for the pale corals and terracottas, a color that is echoed in the pale wood tones.
Images of this Elsie de Wolfe designed bedroom have been making the rounds recently.
Suzanne Tucker paired the palette with punches of citron in the bedroom she did for the Elle Decor showhouse.

If you're feeling inspired by the look, Shannon from the Designer's Attic has a few China Seas fabrics that are still available.
This is my favorite of the two.
This larger floral is also available.
