How to make blue work for your home
Making blue work for you and your home is simple.
Renowned for its versatility and popularity, you won’t be short on room inspiration when it comes to revamping your lounge.
There are however a couple of dos and don'ts to bear in mind to make sure you colour match perfectly.
Dos
Do layer up different textures and patterns
Go more neutral to achieve a Parisian Style with abstract wall art and sophisticated ornate style rugs
Do think about the position of your furniture, to ensure the room isn’t overcrowded
Do add in some metallic shades and textures to make the room feel more luxurious
Don’ts
Don’t go overboard on themes such as mixing anchor prints with stripes, this style is more suited to a bathroom or children’s bedrooms
Don’t be scared of painting your room dark shades
Don’t over style – not every solid surface in your home needs to be adorned with ornaments or arrangements, and not every item of furniture needs to be styled or every wall filled
What colours work well with navy blue?
Working your room around your navy blue colour scheme doesn’t have to be daunting.
In fact, having a piece of furniture or focal colour to base your scheme around really helps when it comes to style and décor choices.
Navy blue is a popular, dynamic trend, but how do we make it work in our homes and more importantly what accent colours can we use with it?
Let’s take a look…
Navy blue
Why not go all out with the navy blue?
For a full-on navy explosion match your furniture with contrasting navy blue walls, this is the ultimate drama!
But make sure you have enough natural light so your room isn’t overwhelmed.
Even in a small room navy can be the perfect backdrop to create a cosy interior, think about adding a mirror as this will add more light to your room and enhance the feeling of space.
A top tip if you have a smaller living room that you’re looking to decorate - consider painting the walls and ceilings the same blue shade as this will naturally draw the eye up and create the illusion of space.
Throw in a matching navy blue sofa and that colour continuity will travel from the bottom of the room to the top.
Pink
Pale pink and navy blue have been a classic pairing for many years and it’s easy to see why.
With the romantic nature of pink married with the boldness of navy blue, they complement each other so effortlessly.
Creating a softer more feminine style. Mix in a geometric rug and some faux fur cushions for the ultimate gorgeous space.
Bold colours
Whilst navy blue offers a gorgeous pop of colour to any room, it equally acts as a neutral thanks to its incredible versatility making it the perfect candidate for pairing with brighter colours.
Navy blends well with bold colours such as red and orange, ideally, these would be accent colours and can easily be achieved by adding cushions or throwing a rug down.
If you want to tone it down a little mix some white into your décor by having white walls and maybe a navy accent wall.
Another reason why navy blue sofas are so popular, they do work well in all homes, no matter your personal style and colour palette.
Metallics
Go glam with metal accents and you’ll be amazed at how wonderfully it works with your navy blue sofa.
From subtle yellow-gold through to contrasting silver, there’s plenty for you to play with.
You could even opt for a mix of metals for added interest.
It’s completely up to you how adventurous you want to be, be rest assured it’ll tie in effortlessly.
Navy is a bold choice that screams elegance and sophistication. When teamed with metallic accents it accentuates glamour.
The current appetite for gold and brass hardware, velvet and classic blue are all strong indicators for the Art Deco trend. Think feathers, chevrons and an eclectic mix of colours and patterns.
Metallics are easy to incorporate into your living room, look out for coffee tables or side tables with metal legs or interchangeable accessories such as mirrors with gold or silver accents as they’ll certainly do the job.
Look out for wallpapers with metallic embossing too for texture and depth.
Floral prints
Mustard and navy blue? Yes, yes, yes!
Mustard yellow is the perfect match with navy, offering a vivid balance of dark and light.
This pairing will add energy and warmth to your room. For a more on-trend, tropical look choose green or turquoise shades.
Botanical prints are massive and work really well with velvet.
Geometric patterns achieve a more modern look as well as tropical prints – think palm tree prints in varying sizes and colours.
Be bang-on-trend and shop our show-stopping Botanicals range, showcase both statement floral and botanicals prints, plus the scatter cushions feature hints of mustard yellow, which as we know go beautifully with navy blue.
Naturals
Mixing a plush navy blue sofa with natural materials, such as wood, rattan and woven fabrics are a match made in living room heaven.
If you’re not ready for the total navy overhaul then neutral shades work really well when teamed with blue.
This will create a more peaceful, calming colour scheme, add nature-inspired elements like dark wood and rattan.
As navy is a very classic colour, you can also pair it with white creating that classic coastal trend. For added interest, opt for a patterned rug.
By bringing the outside in, you’re able to create a place of sanctuary in your home.
