This color is noble, but bright and is more suitable for common areas (office, living room, kitchen, bathroom). It is important to remember that in large quantities this color can cause a depressed state, and therefore it is important to be able to competently combine it with other colors. For example, "Lapis Blue" will make a wonderful pair with another shade from the Pantone palette - Pale Dogwood. This unusual and bold combination of powdery warm "Pale Dogwood" with cold Lapis Blue will fit perfectly into the interior of a living room or bedroom. As for the bedroom, you shouldn’t overload itroom in this color, it is enough to have accents in the form of individual pieces of furniture or textiles. For example, white walls, dark wooden floor, neutral light furniture and a soft textured headboard in Lapis Blue. And if you are not afraid to experiment and love bright colors, then you can paint one wall “Lapis Blue” and complement it with blue elements in textiles or decor. For the living room Lapis Blue, in my opinion,is the most suitable. To make the room look stylish and original, it will be enough to add just a few details of this shade.

Shades of blue reduce appetite, soFor the kitchen and dining room, the best solution would be to use gray and white as the main colors, and Lapis Blue as an additional shade. For example, a completely neutral kitchen, light walls, a white kitchen set and a kitchen apron made of tiles in Lapis Blue. Another option for using "Lapis Blue" is in the fronts of the lower cabinets of the kitchen set. In this case, it is better to make the upper fronts light, because if you do the opposite, then upwards it will press on you and cause a depressed state.
