I love that at almost any - if not all - times of the year you can punch out one of my favourite decorating palette combos of 'Blue & White', and by adding another accent & highlight colour it can as easily go from Easter to Christmas holidays. Here I found some gorgeous rooms that celebrate Christmas with coastal inspiration using a Blue & White palette, creating a welcoming, fresh & stylish environment. 
Following my post 'Palatial Blue White Poolside Entertaining'.... I just had to share this with you -I love the mix of Coastal & Asian influences through the teak bamboo chairs and Chinese style urn pedestals combined with the bold use of Coral Red in a coral pattern in the upholstery, with Blue White of the decor & lighting pieces against an all white backdrop.
What else can I say - I love the pop of Ruby Tomato Red in these living & work spaces... How wonderfully fresh , modern - and slightly folkloric in pattern, shape and placement the ruby tomato red with white plays on the settee. I especially love how the post modernist style & mid-century inspired colouration of art work, on the wall and placed on the desk table, compliments the lighting design - both in ,the top image, with the delicate shape of the chandelier, and the bottom image , with the floral inspired lighting sconce design - in each neither detracts from the overall space - and in each there is a delicate curiosity. 
Today I love... the eastern influence and wallpaper used in these rooms, that belong to a professional couple from Atlanta Georgia U.S. who updated their townhouse with a fluidity of style & colour throughout. Here, they have used a distinctive wallpaper that also acts as a wall scape - bringing the outside in with the beautiful, delicate branches of a Japanese plum or cherry tree, with linked accent colours of plum red and starfruit yellow blossoms dotted through the tree branches. Small wren-like birds are curiously perched on less obvious branches - to appear like they are catching a little glimpse into the room. The blossom accent colours are harmonious tied back to the soft furnishings - such as in the cushions on the day bed, a nomadic style rug, an upholstered French ticking style stripe on a trophy chair, and through ceramic lamp bases & floral arrangements. The wallpaper ground colour - a warm based clay / chalk is a perfect base for these warmer higher value accents - bringing a cosy, contemporary elegance to a light filled space.
