You may just love these interiors with Limoges Blue and aqua, and as a bonus, find paint colors to sample! Do tranquil breezy watery blue and green-blue tones calm your heart? Same!

Limoges Blue, Aqua & Soft Blue Accents
If you are drawn to Limoges blue and aqua green-blues that whisper (ahhhhh, robin’s egg blue too!), this is for you. How can you incorporate more of these lovely colors into your interior schemes?

Decorating Accents With Hushed Limoges Blue & Beyond
Colors of sky and sea work beautifully across design genres. In French country homes, coastal cottages, classic traditional rooms, and almost everything in between soft seaside color uplifts.
![Ai designed French country kitchen with blue backsplash tile and rustic elegant wood work table island - Farmhouse Living. #aikitchen #frenchcountrykitchen](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/ai-blue-french-country-kitchen-farmhouseliving.jpg)
Subtle, romantic, and feminine blues and greens are reminiscent of childhood, sea glass and even faded denim. (Doesn’t the backsplash tile in the ai kitchen above strike you as aded denim-y?).

These blues invoke memories of coastal landscapes, nature, and seaside summer vacations.

I love love love a touch of soft faded blue in neutral rooms. Imagine a pillow or throw in this bedroom:
![Timeless cozy opulence design elements for a bedroom to sooth - Hello Lovely. #cozyopulence #timelessbedrooms #moodboard #shopthelook](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/hello-lovely-timeless-cozy-opulence-bedroom-banner.jpg)
Limoges Blue and Hushed Blue-Gray Paint Colors
A few ideas for walls if you’re still dreaming about the Limoges blue Suzanne Kasler seems to always return (bedroom at top of post).
So important to sample at least three colors that are quite similar.
And three may not even be enough. Sometimes you’ll zero in very close to the perfect tone you have in your mind’s eye and for your particular lighting. When you’re very close but still miss the mark, you can always adjust the saturation if it’s a bit too dark or light.
And certainly don’t forget about the range of light greys which may turn up the loveliest pale blue.
Soft Light Blues & Aquas
This Swedish antique in a Round Top, Texas farmhouse by Eleanor Cummings comes to mind when I consider the prettiest, weathered, faded blue-green.
![Modern French farmhouse living room by Eleanor Cummings with Swedish antiques and white painted beams - Milieu. #livingroom #modernfrench #frenchfarmhouse #europeancountry #texasfarmhouse](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/001-eleanor-cummings-modern-french-farmhouse-living-room-round-top-milieu.jpg)
Don’t you love the layers of paint and warmth peeking through this antique? If a muddy, very Swedish sort of blue is your favorite, maybe there’s a piece of furniture hiding somewhere in your house or on FB Marketplace that needs your love and a little blue.
Isn’t the above an interesting combination for a European country wardrobe painted duck egg blue with the surprise of a William Morris wallpaper inside?

Soft Blue Door Paint Color Ideas
Soft blue entrances can be lovely, but which blue paint for a front door paint color? Sometimes you have to look at the grey swatches!

Soft Blue Kitchen Accents
Most of us tend to play it safe with neutrals when it comes to more permanent design elements such as a backsplash:
![Turquoise blue subay tile behind range in gorgeous kitchen with rustic range hood.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/011-blue-kitchen-light-blue-subway-tile-backsplash.jpg)
In Shauna Varvel’s Provence kitchen, the blue kitchen inspiration was inspired by a kitchen at her favorite hotel.
![French farmhouse kitchen in Provence with light blue cabinets and copper pots from E. Dehllerin - @provencepoirers. #frenchkitchen #frenchfarmhouse #frenchchateau #copperpots #frenchfarmhousekitchen #lightblue #provencekitchen #provencepoirers](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/french-country-farmhouse-kitchen-copper-pots-light-blue-cabinets-E-Dehllerin-Paris-provencepoirers.jpeg)
The color is Farrow & Ball Light Blue. With all the copper, it’s positively magic. Gold tones also create a lovely marriage with light blue-greens:
![Southeastern Designer Showhouse 2017 kitchen with Farrow & Ball Light Blue on cabinets and SW Alabaster on walls. #luxuriouskitchen #kitchendesign #designerkitchen #traditionalstyle #bluekitchen #farrowandballlightblue](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/traditional-blue-kitchen-light-blue-farrow-ball-painted-cabinets-color-southeastern-designer-showhouse-2017-013.jpg)
![Silvery Blue Kitchen Get the Look on Hello Lovely Studio. #bluekitchens #getthelook #kitchendesign](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/001-silvery-blue-kitchen-get-the-look-hello-lovely-studio-banner.jpg)
I strongly considered Light Blue for our kitchen reno at the Georgian but went with a more silvery blue effect. When the sun is shining bright, the color appears pale blue!
![Hello Lovely's kitchen with modern French style - come shop the look! #modernfrench #frenchkitchen #hellolovelystudio](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/001-hello-lovely-kitchen-banner-hellolovelystudio-modern-french.jpg)
You can see the strong green undertones in F&B Light Blue (below) compared to Pavilion Gray.
![Elegant light blue and white dining area in Southeastern Designer Showhouse - Lauren deLoach design - Atlanta Homes.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/00001-farrow-ball-light-blue-breakfast-dining-room-in-southeastern-designer-showhouse.jpg)
The same color looks more blue in this image below where the Provence sunlight is heaveny:

Soft greens and blues are so lovely in sunny kitchens with liberal doses of white. How can I not think of Desiree’s kitchen in Utah?
![Rustic European country interior by Desiree Ashworth Design (Beljar Home). #beljarhome #desireeashworthdesign](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/desiree-ashworth-design-beljar-home-005.jpg)
Or her remarkable kitchen a few homes ago:

And I’ve always loved what Brit Jones did with this laundry space off a kitchen:
![Silvermist paint color on cabinets in a lovely French country laundry room mud room by Brit Jones Design. #laundryroom #frenchcountry #brickflooring #herringbone #bluegrey #silvermist #paintcolors](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/brit-jones-interiors-laundry-room-cabinets-sw-silvermist-paint-color.jpg)
Of course, it’s not all about paint or wallpaper…pretty blue, aqua, and blue-grey linens are another way to accent with color:

Provence Inspired Cottage
Located in Utah, this quality crafted French inspired home created for a family is filled with collected antique treasures, rustic elegance, and the Provence-inspired and beachy colors the designer Desiree favors: soft blue-greys and aqua-greens.
![Exquisite French country with Gustavian influence cottage exterior in Utah - Decor de Provence. #frenchcottage #frenchnordic #frenchcountry #houseexteriors](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/hello-lovely-desiree-ashworth-home-6.jpg)
The trim in the Gustavian-French cottage is stained a custom shade many have admired. If ever she packages the formula, it may spark a revolution!

Let’s take a closer look at design details and finishes in the kitchen and dining area inspired by European farmhouses, yet interpreted in a pleasingly personal way.

French Country Decor Accents With Green & Blue
I independently selected products in this post—if you buy from one of my links, I may earn a commission.
1. French Lavender
I learned lavender can mean devotion, luck, success, happiness or distrust (as far as floral language goes) and also these fun facts about lavender here:
*The name Lavender hails from the Latin word meaning to wash.
*Lavender comes from the same family as mint.
*2500+ years ago, it was used in ancient Egypt during the mummification process.
*In Elizabethan times, baths weren’t common practice, so lavender perfumed clothes and bed linen.
*Lavender’s scent deters mice, flies, mosquitoes and other pests.
*Lavender oil can be used to: soothe aching muscles and joints, reduce anxiety and stress, and induce sleep.
*Nectar from lavender plants is used to make high quality honey.
*Lavender propagation is done by cutting or root divisions.
*While most plants are blue or purple, there are also pink and yellow varieties.

2. Dining Chairs
3. Zinc Finishes that Harmonize With Blue-Green
![Green subway tile backsplash in kitchen of Country French Old World style in a newly built custom cottage home in Utah - Decor de Provence. #countryfrench #interiordesign #oldworldstyle #europeancountry](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/decor-de-provence-desiree-ashworth-french-country-kitchen-004.jpg)

4. Soft Green Backsplash Tile
![Kitchen in Country French Old World style in a newly built custom cottage home in Utah - Decor de Provence. #countryfrench #interiordesign #oldworldstyle #europeancountry](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/decor-de-provence-desiree-ashworth-french-country-kitchen-005.jpg)
5. Green Glass Bottles
![Rustic dining in Country French Old World style in a newly built custom cottage home in Utah - Decor de Provence. #countryfrench #interiordesign #oldworldstyle #europeancountry](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/0001-decor-de-provence-desiree-ashworth-french-country-breakfast-dining-.jpg)
![A wonderful inspirational quote about endurance from Frida Kahlo on Hello Lovely Studio. #quotes #inspirational #fridakahlo #endurance #encouragement #hope](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/hello-lovely-studio-green-quote-frida-kahlo-endurance.jpg)

6. Painted Hanging Lantern
Even if you can’t find the “just right” vintage lantern for your space, you can improvise with a new one by tweaking the color and possibly giving it a vintage-look distressed finish.
For example, though this is an authentic finish, you could emulate it:
![Blue greys and greens in a Country French Old World style in a newly built custom cottage home in Utah - Decor de Provence. #countryfrench #interiordesign #oldworldstyle #europeancountry](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/decor-de-provence-desiree-ashworth-french-country-breakfast-dining-4.jpg)

7. Charming Green or Blue Collections
So often we tuck our treasures away and only occasionally enjoy them. However, open shelves of pretty collected dishes and glassware are proof they can play starring roles.
![Open shelving and soft green subway tile backsplash in kitchen of Country French Old World style in a newly built custom cottage home in Utah - Decor de Provence. #countryfrench #interiordesign #oldworldstyle #europeancountry](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/decor-de-provence-desiree-ashworth-french-country-kitchen-007.jpg)
I hear a few whispers of: BUT THE DUST, MICHELE! and Mrs. Clean hears you…she truly does.
![Custom blue grey stain on doors and trim of Country French Old World style in a newly built custom cottage home in Utah - Decor de Provence. #countryfrench #interiordesign #oldworldstyle #europeancountry](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/decor-de-provence-desiree-ashworth-french-country-kitchen-008-1.jpg)
8. Think Beyond White Trim
I love how Desiree stained the trim and doors blue-green-grey. She also chose this option for her prior home. It adds a Nordic French feel, both more interesting and at home with the creamy walls. (The custom shade seems similar to Farrow & Ball’s Pavilion Gray which I just dipped my paintbrush into yesterday!)
![Country French Old World style in a newly built custom cottage home in Utah - Decor de Provence. #countryfrench #interiordesign #oldworldstyle #europeancountry](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/decor-de-provence-desiree-ashworth-french-country-breakfast-dining-6.jpg)
![SWEDISH PAINT COLORS - Farrow & Ball Pavilion Gray 242. "When I was in Sweden, the restaurants and homes always had a lot of candles burning.

And then you have that dramatic backdrop of the deep blue sea and the huge blue sky." —Sara Story](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/89/d9/bb/89d9bb75534e12ca7abb45c68e9f2300.jpg)
