Navy Blue And Gray Decorating Ideas

Want to add a little sophistication to your home's decor without settling for a neutral color scheme? Try decorating with navy blue! The color adds drama and can stand up to bold colors. It also pairs beautifully with white, creating a nautical vibe. Here's several inspiration photos for adding cool navy blue to any room in your house.

Living Rooms

Perhaps the easiest room in the house to try decorating with navy blue is the living room. Choose textiles in the cool hue, like slip covers, pillows, curtains, throws, or rugs. Of course, you can't go wrong with timeless stripes in navy and white.

Bedrooms

Blue bedrooms are peaceful and restful, but we often choose soft blues for sleeping spaces. Why not add a bit of navy blue in the form of pillows, or go bold by painting bedroom walls with navy? The result is a cozy space perfect for curling up at night.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms look impressive when navy blue is added to the space. Painting a vanity or bathroom cabinets is an easy way to add the color.

Sun Rooms

Navy blue is a popular color for sun rooms. Of course, sun rooms are used primarily during summer when we're thinking of the beach and anything coastal. Use just a bit of navy blue for a cottage style, or use more for a sophisticated sun room.

Don't limit the use of navy blue to the interior of your home. It looks great on the outside of a house, too!
