Make a Statement with Cobalt Blue & Glacier Grey

The deep intensity of cobalt blue makes a real statement. Use it as the main colour for furniture and wall art paired with glacier grey; the end result is a stunning colour palette which oozes style.

Use accents of custard yellow to create an eclectic style which would suit modern and contemporary homes.

Use cobalt blue as a feature wall colour; it will sit beautifully next to glacier grey or blush – a hint of custard on the floor will help to ground the colour scheme, making it seem warmer.

We all know that free standing roll-top bath are bang on-trend; give it a cobalt blue outer and you'll be hitting all the right interior design notes.

Beautiful Colour Combinations – Coral & Black

Tired of the usual colour combinations? Why not try something different – coral and black make a winning colour combination which has stood the test of time within the world of interior design. These colours could represent masculinity and femininity, making them perfect for master bedrooms or living areas.

The gentle coral is easy to live with, while in stark contrast the black takes a more dominant role. Coral also exudes a natural warmth and is perfect for using with natural wood tones, especially ebony.
