via There's no color combination that's more beautiful in its simplicity than cobalt blue and white.  It's traditional, yes, but it has the pop of color to catch your eye.  There's something cool, calm and classic about the color combination. One of my favorite uses of bright cobalt blue was in a Hinsdale client's amazingly bold office featuring a lacquered cobalt blue wall. The blue built-in shelving and french doors gave the room a luxurious feel, making it one of the most stunning rooms in my clients home. And because there's no such thing as "too much color", I added pops of coral, teal, red, and a vibrant array of vintage books for even more flair. But what really brought the room together was the balance between the cobalt wall and the white rug to ground the room -  keeping the colors harmonious rather than overbearing. The result was a comfortable den bursting with energy,  yet relaxing enough to read the Sunday paper in peace while sipping on a few cups of coffee in the process. Since the Hinsdale project I've had 2 other projects that use a ton of cobalt and white, but unfortunately I can't show you YET!  Both are going to be in House Beautiful in the coming months so they're top secret until then.  For now, take a look at even more cobalt and white inspiration below, and find other examples on my Pinterest inspiration board!     via 1// 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6
