Using cerulean in your home
Cerulean needs breathing room around it. Use it for a bath vanity, entry door, laundry room, kids room wall, or pool house with warm white, black, pale oak, sand, or chrome. North light can cool it toward denim. South light brings out the clear blue. Keep finishes simple. Busy stone can make Cerulean look accidental instead of intentional.
