A true-blue fact about design is that trends in interiors and fashion often coincide. The two worlds are similar in so many ways; both work with fabric, color, shape, tone and even practicality. So when Katie Holmes graced the red carpet at the 2011 Emmys wearing this sophisticated Calvin Klein frock in stunning Yves Klein Blue, it rekindled our love for this bold hue and inspired us to revisit it.

So, thanks to Mrs. Tom Cruise, we have pulled together some of our favorite nursery pieces in the lovely shade of cobalt. Girls, don’t be fooled—cobalt blue can be used in a girl’s nursery as well…just pair it with a lighter shade of peach or even lavender.

Cobalt blue is a bright and daring color. Not many can pull it off. But I really love this shade especially if paired with white. Reminds me of Santorini, Greece.

I loved Katie in that color too. And now I love that blue! Nice.

Gorgeous color. In fact I think this shade is better suited for a girl's room than a boys. It has too much drama to fit in a boys room ( except the changer, perhaps)!
