Gwyneth Paltrow is full of good ideas, but opting for blue and white dishware might be one of her best. In a series of 'Boyfriend Breakfast' videos posted on her Instagram, the actress and Goop founder takes us through her weekend breakfast routine and, by extension, her collection of blue and white painted plates and bowls. The color scheme is more than a passing trend.
Whether it's a white boat coasting across the Mediterranean or a gull cutting swiftly across a blue sky, the mix of blue and white has an instant connection to summer, and they will always be one of our all-time favorite color combinations. The colors contrast one another, but both feel cool, bringing about a calm, grounding feel to any tablescape.
