A very "on-trend" color right now is cobalt blue, it's been all over the Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 fashion runways so you know it's only a matter of time before it starts popping up in interiors everywhere.
You can use cobalt to make a big statement, like designer Miles Redd did in this entryway. How fabulous are those lacquered blue walls?! It's definitely not for the faint of heart!
If you want to make an impact with cobalt, but aren't quite ready to paint your walls in such a brilliant hue, you can do what the designer did above.
The blue dining chairs pick up the cobalt blue of the kitchen island for a strong, but not an over-the-top, effect.
You can also bring this blue into your design scheme by layering it in with other shades of blue home decor.
For example, in this bedroom different shades of blue, including cobalt, are brought in via the patterned toss pillow, headboard, table lamp, wallpaper and linens.
Here is another example of layering in cobalt alongside other blues. Cobalt can stand on its own, but it looks equally as beautiful alongside other shades in the blue family.
Are the above examples still too much of a commitment to this vivid blue shade? Add a punch of color with a single piece of furniture as seen in the picture above.
Need some more ideas on how to bring cobalt into your interiors? Look no further:
1. If you're ready to go for a big impact, try a cobalt blue sofa.
2. If the sofa is too bold a maneuver for you, add a cashmere throw in the hue.
3. Table lamps are a great way to bring color into a room, like this cobalt gourd lamp.
4. Don't forget that there are many levels in a room -- this chandelier with cobalt blue shades will bring a pop of color to the upper part of a room.
5. This cylinder table lamp with a lattice pattern is great for subtly bringing in this blue into your design.
6. The Selby Bright Blue Hall Chest with gold accents would be perfect in a hallway as a console table or in a small dining room as a sideboard.
Blue is incredibly versatile and can add depth and richness to a design scheme. Cobalt blue, in particular, creates a cozy and inviting feeling, while being elegant at the same time.
