How to Decorate Around Cobalt Blue Countertops

Paint the walls in your room a soft gray. This is less stark than white paint and sets the tone for a dramatic room.

Choose a piece of artwork that incorporates the cobalt blue color and provides additional colors to accessorize with. Consider “Homage a Klimt I” by Christian Jodin, which includes greens and tans, or “Ballerina” by Joan Miro," which is a sweet painting that includes a red heart and red and black accents. Look for artwork that reflects your personal style and taste, and that contains blue as a dominant color.

Hang the artwork on a wall near the blue counter tops to tie the space together.

Paint a wooden kitchen table and chairs set glossy black. Place cobalt blue seat cushions on chairs and top the table with the red fabric place mats, salt and pepper shakers and napkin holders.

Lay down an area rug that coordinates with your colors. Choose a rug in cobalt blue or patterned blue and your secondary color to cover the majority of your tiled floor.

Add towels to your space that reflect the major colors of the room. In this case, cobalt blue, gray, and green or red.

Complete the space by accessorizing with functional items that incorporate your color palette. Use a variety of materials including glass, metallics and textiles.

Add an element of fun. Spray paint something unusual a matching cobalt blue to hang on the wall. A faux deer head, violin or a bust of Beethoven will be a surprising and humorous way to embrace the color.
