	Decorating with Cobalt Blue Glazed Ceramics Walls washed with soft terra cotta showcase the rich cobalt blue in the Azure Ceramic Collection. Cobalt blue, burgundy, shades of orange and brilliant yellows are mainstays in pottery produced throughout Mediterranean regions. Cobalt blue is found in the Mediterranean kitchen and bath where cobalt blue ceramic tiles are common construction and decorating materials. When it comes to ceramics and other decorative arts, bold, dramatic cobalt blue is a favorite. You don't have to paint the walls blue to have a blue room. Infusing a room with cobalt blue can be as simple as a bringing in a new area rug, piling on colorful pillows and selecting cobalt blue accessories. Cobalt blue is dramatic in the Mediterranean kitchen. Shades of burnt orange, gold and copper are colors found in dark wood, granite countertops, copper cookware, copper tone planters and wrought iron pot racks. Blue is directly across the colorful wheel from these colors and it is this contrast that makes cobalt blue work so naturally in an old world Mediterranean decorating theme. Combining cobalt blue with gold or tan, gives your bold accent color a softer look. Imagine a room with walls painted in a rich chocolate brown and furnished with a neutral dark tan sofa. Add cobalt blue and chocolate sofa pillows, dark wood tables and two cobalt blue upholstered chairs to the equation and you have created a bold, sophisticated look. Change the wall color to a washed gold and everything still works. Punch up the color with our Italian Frutta beveled mirror and burnt orange accessories and the room continues to be bold and sophisticated. Move from this room to other rooms that are decorated in wall colors and upholstery in shades of yellow, cream and white and the transition works. The eye is intrigued by the first room, but easily makes the transition to other rooms that do not have the dramatic punch of cobalt blue. Bold, rich color can be used in grand style without sacrificing the warm, comfortable feeling found in Mediterranean decorating.

Creating Impact with Decorative Accessories
Retail showrooms are an ideal location to see how interior designers work with color. A showroom offers with a myriad of fixture and accessory colors chosen to compliment a wide range of decorating themes. Wall color is often neutral.

Neutral wall color allows a home decor showroom to create impact with each fixture and accessory display.

Pictured here is a section of our retail showroom that is dedicated to our cobalt blue ceramics. We purposefully do not spread these ceramic vessels throughout the showroom. Our intent is to showcase them and to give customers ideas how they can group them for greater visual appeal.

We have elevated some of the pieces and even highlighted the fat ribbed vase by placing it inside one our decorative floral wreaths. The contrasting heights and textures add interest to the display. Placing the blue ceramics in front of a mirror enhances the display by multiplying their images.
