Use Green Too!

Color combinations for the home that look great together are far different than coordinating colors people wear. Contrasting colors often look great together when decorating the home. A dining room table in yellow, blue and green is absolutely lovely. They are color combinations typically found in nature, and they make a fantastic trio. Consider these ideas for decorating a dining room table in yellow and blue, and finish with green accents.

Sky-Blue Flowers with Fresh Green Foliage in a Sunny Yellow Vase

When looking for ideas for decorating a dining room table in yellow and blue, begin with the centerpiece. Start with a sunny yellow vase. Fill it with sky-blue artificial or real forget-me-not flowers in beautiful sky-blue. They have bright yellow centers, and the shade of blue is breathtaking. Decorating with a centerpiece such as this is a great way to get started. Use it as inspiration for setting the dining room table.

Opt for Blue, White and Vine-Green Placemats

Choose washable or wipe-clean fabric placemats to protect the dining room table. Opt for a white background with sapphire blooms and green vines. Search Yahoo! Shopping to obtain the perfect design. When decorating the dining room table, a combination of yellow, blue and green are easy to find. They will make a lovely background for dishes and napkins.

Select Blue Plates with Yellow Flowers

Consider decorating the dining room table with azure and ocher glazed ceramic or stoneware plates. Opt for light blue plates embellished with yellow wildflowers complete with green leaves. They will coordinate well with the aforementioned floral centerpiece on the dining room table. The sunny yellow vase will draw the eyes directly to the beautiful yellow flowers on the plates.

Secure Cerulean Cloth Napkins with Green Foliage


Cloth napkins are a green alternative to disposable varieties. With proper care they will last for years. They are also a great addition to a dining room table. When decorating in blue, yellow and green, opt for beautiful woven napkins in cerulean. Indiscriminately roll up the napkins and secure them with artificial green foliage instead of standard napkin rings. The table will look gorgeous, and you might decide keep it set, even when not planning a meal.
