How to Make Blue Work in the Kitchen
I recently redesigned my kitchen with an all blue theme. Shocked? You shouldn’t be!
Blue is a gorgeous color that can evoke peace, calmness or even energy. The blue kitchen tone I went with is a celadon color somewhere between a mint green and soft blue.
The primary focal point is our blue stone range, but I accented it with other blue accessories. The challenge of how to complete my already blue kitchen with blue furniture and decor started.
If you’re creating a blue kitchen, a lot of people are attracted to navy blue but are gun-shy about blue kitchen accessories. The current trend is an all white kitchen.
If you want to add blue, you can easily find some navy blue bar stools, blue plastic cups, or blue kitchen accessories.
I think a blue oven and navy blue counter height stools are my favorite additions to bring home the color with a strong focal point. But here are some great navy blue kitchen decor ideas to add in the blue color to your kitchen if you want to start slowly.
Setting Your Blue-Themed Table
BLUE MELAMINE DINNER PLATES
$108
I love the simple blue and white design on these plates! These give a perfect blue accent without overdoing it on the color. Even better, melamine is kid-safe and dishwasher-safe!
Navy Blue Mug Set
$49.99
Such a cute mug set (and for a great price!) I love the mixed match patterns. It helps make the kitchen feel pulled together yet casual all at the same time!
Blue Plastic Cups & Glass Cups
$19.95
The price on these cups is incredible and they look more expensive than they are! If you have kiddos maybe consider replacing glass with blue plastic cups for a great look!
Blue Rattan Placemat
$98 for Set 4
I just love using wicker placemats. They look so easy and playful, but polished. I have these same placemats without the blue edge – but now I want the blue edge ones! They look easy to style with a pop of color!
Blue Silverware
$42.02
I love the idea of setting a fully themed blue table, all the way down to using blue silverware. It’s not your average setting, but when done right it looks amazing!

Light Blue Coffee Mugs

Ohhhh this color is perfection! It’s almost a celadon. So coastal, so dreamy, so darned pretty. These are breathtakingly beautiful & you can’t beat that pricepoint!

Blue Utensil Crock

We all need a place to easily store and grab cooking utensils, so why not add some beautiful color and design? This is so coastal and light and it’s just such an easy and happy piece! No brainer!
Blue Upholstered Counter Stools
$1598
These are absolutely stunning upholstered counter stools. And a huge bonus is that they swivel! I love swivel because it makes getting in/out of them easy, same for carrying on conversations! These look so comfortable & stylish.
Blue Dish Towel Set
$19.99 for Set/4
I badly need to refresh my dish towels. After a few years they just look so ratty! These are a nice shade of blue and look nice enough to even sit out or be displayed hanging from a dishwasher handle!
Voluspa Candle
I love, love, love Voluspa candles. Not only are the fragrances almost all beautiful, but the vases they come in are equally as stunning (keep them as flower vases!) This is a top ranked fragrance in a draw dropping color.
Silicone Blue Oven Mitts
$18.14
I typically prefer to use silicon oven mitts because of how they store flat in a drawer. Love the light blue hue on these blue oven mitts. It’s is a great everyday look with extra pop!
Navy Blue Serving Tray
$49.99
Everyone needs a good tray – for serving breakfast, carrying food items into another room, or just as a display for pretty flowers and a candle! This fits the navy lover bill – plus the geometric design adds a little something extra to a classic look!
Blue Olive Oil Dispenser
$21.99
Don’t use the grocery store olive oil canister! No! Use this beautiful blue olive oil dispenser. Holy cow that design is so lovely and the color lovlier. I use olive oil so much that I find having a spout that much easier to use. If it’s going to sit out on your calendar, it may as well be pretty to look at!
Orchid Potted Plant
$201.52
When it comes to finding navy blue kitchen decor ideas, don’t forget to look at what you already have. This faux orchid one of my favorite decor pieces in my home! I keep mine in our family room but this would look gorgeous displayed on a kitchen counter!

Blue Cookbook
$28.32
I had the privilege to attend a cooking class by this chef nearly 20 years ago so I’ve followed her career. This cookbook came out some time ago so I scooped it up. Not only is it a great cookbook, but color wise, the cover is just so pretty. But I prefer to display it with the cover off because the shade of blue of the hardbound pages are even prettier!
Blue Oven Range
$13,995
This is the oven range I own, in the color Roquefort. It’s not blue and it’s not green. It’s somewhere in between and to me, it’s the most beautiful thing on the planet. If you’re looking for jewelry for your kitchen look absolutely no further!
Blue Rattan Serving Tray
$258
This elevated high design rattan tray takes serving food to the next level! This is a truly gorgeous tray with intricate design and detail. This would look gorgeous with breakfast, but if you’re entertaining, you could place wine glasses, a bottle of white wine, and a bouquet of flowers for a truly gorgeous display!
Blue Kitchen Rugs
$42.99
Rarely do I find kitchen mats that I find cute, but this one I do! The gray color is nice, too! It looks plush and soft, and the design is simple enough to blend in to many decors, yet with just enough going on to make it a nice focal point! This would look really pretty in an all white kitchen!
Blue Serving Utencils
$22.99
If you store your serving utencils on the counter like I do, then why not make them cute?! I love the detail of the wood handles with the navy blue silicone accent. A truly beautiful and useful set!
I absolutely love these navy blue and white kitchen decor ideas! The combination of colors is so elegant and refreshing. I particularly liked the idea of navy blue open shelves paired with white dishes – it adds a nice pop without feeling overwhelming. Can’t wait to try some of these tips in my own kitchen!
Thank you!
