"It's Akin to a Shot of Caffeine" — 4 Ways You Should Be Decorating With Cobalt Blue to Wake Your Home Up

A kitchen with a large pale pink kitchen island, teal cabinets and cobalt blue extractor hood, kitchen tap and kitchen island door pulls.

You haven’t ‘done’ blue until you’ve experimented with cobalt. The bluest of the blues, cobalt is so rich it’s practically dripping in pigment. But is such a bold, impactful shade really workable in the home? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes, and I implore you to at least give it a go.

Cobalt is a power color, a hue that’s alive with intensity that says ‘here, I am, I am not afraid.’ Being surrounded by cobalt in a room feels like being wrapped in a Van Gogh sky or submerged into the world of Yves Klein’s luminous monochromes. It practically buzzes with electricity, so full is it with energy and potency.
