A major color statement I saw at Maison & Objet (and at retail in Belgium, Paris and Amsterdam) is what I call “luminous blue” or cobalt blue. I see it sneaking in everywhere, from home decor items including ceramic pitchers, vases, accent decor and synthetic crystal. I love seeing this saturated shade used as an accent in home decor as it is soothing, yet energetic. I find that luminous blue has a calming yet vibrant sensibility and works well as an accent color in any space. — Nancy Fire, Nancy Fire Designs

These high-gloss stools in luminous blue by Karlsson are the perfect accent piece for any room in your home as they are versatile, updated and mod.
One of my favorite vendor displays was by the Italian company Arcucci Ceramics because they had a beautiful assortment of print, pattern and color. I was especially drawn to their use of geometric stripes paired in a horizontal and vertical layering format.
This petite accent table by Mario Luca Giusti (synthetic crystal) represents a very trendy and style both in color and design.
