Navy blue has always been one of my favourite colours to decorate with – possibly because I’m a mama of 3 boys – but most likely because of it’s classic, timeless appeal. I generally use it as a grounding neutral in a room, either pairing it with bolder tones like mustard or fuchsia, or with a softer scheme of creams and beiges. Check out the following images for some navy-infused inspiration.

I love the way these bookshelves have been drenched in this deep navy, creating the perfect backdrop for the tufted sectional and brass wall sconces. Via Horchow.

Limiting colour to a single piece in your kitchen design is a great way to add a punch without committing to an entire room of saturated colour. Via The Turquoise Home.

How delicious is the fabric on this sofa? I’m a serious sucker for velvet upholstery, especially in this deep inky blue. Via Emily Henderson.
Handmade Beauty
Seriously, these dishes. The swirling blues, the gold edging…love! Via Suite One Studio.
Outdoor Appeal
I adore navy on a home’s exterior, particularly when paired with crisp white trim & accents. Classic and current. Via Cameron MacNeil.

These Mediterranean-style patterned tiles and brass-edged range hood are the jewellery to the Little Black Dress of navy cabinets. Via Alex Arnott.
Graphic Walls
This wallpaper though! Moody and edgy, the watercolour print takes this powder room from basic to brilliant. Via Genevieve Makinson.
