Blueberry collectibles are a great way to take your favorite collection and create a great look for you to enjoy. What comes to mind when you think of this fruit? Is it a fun and bright kitchen, a sun room or something else? I love using a few favorite collectibles and making them come to life. The beauty of doing this type of decorating is it can be done in a home, condo, apartment, beach house, camp setting or even an office area. The collection below came from a very special state that produces some of the best tasting blueberries, Maine! As a child I grew up going on our summer vacation to the Maine coast. My parents up until my mom passed away in the year 2000 would continue to vacation in Maine. My mom had started buying these collectibles for me that you see below.













Take a closer look at a couple of the pieces, and see how the blueberries are subtle, yet present an eloquent look. Taking any of your collectibles and creating a room may sound a little challenging, but a great way to plan for this decor is to look at your colors in each collectable. The base color in these collectables have a gray tone, as well as the blueberries being in a dark yet rich tone of blue. Here are a couple of ideas on using a few colors.

This first photo shows you a rich blue tone that blends well with the collection. The room can be painted in this blue tone, with the bottom color in this picture used for the trim or woodwork. The circles represent different tones that may be in your wood that would blend well with the entire color scheme. You could bring in a secondary color if you want using this color scheme, but be careful it doesn't overpower your focal point of your collection.



The second photo brings a softer look to the room. The lighter shade will brighten up the room. This is where if you paint the walls with a lighter tone, you can use a deep color to accent the walls with your trim or woodwork. I have mentioned this before in another page, but one key to interior decorating is to know what colors are in your base paint you paint your walls with. Most colors have different color pigmentation added to the main base color. This is the variety of colors you see in paint samples. Knowing what colors are added to the base, can help you plan a well balanced room. Notice in the first picture how I have used a deeper blue color for a secondary color to bring out the color of the blueberries. The second photo shows you a little different blue tone that I used that actually blends well with the trim or woodwork color.



Now with a collection like this, you may be wondering what room would you put something like these collectable in? With a taste of eloquence, a dining room or a formal kitchen would be a great idea. You can branch off of this blueberry collection and give the room a country flare with a baskets, an arrangement of artificial fruit, and even a couple of live blueberry container plants. Consider some stripes or plaids. In the camp page, the blueberry theme could work well with the camp theme also.





Another idea for you using the blueberry theme is to think of the coast. In the summer months for instance, Maine is a hopping tourist place. In my other Web site, landscape-solutions-for-you, there are a couple of pages that may give you some ideas how to incorporate some photos with this particular theme. Maine and its glorious sunrises, and Scenic natural landscapes along the coast of Maine, will show you some of the beauty that can be accented with the collection being the focal point of the room.

This theme page gives you a little different look using the blueberries in a rich and eloquent way. Do you have any decorating tips for others with a fruit theme.
