I find myself consumed with navy blue lately. I recently got a new sofa for my downstairs living room that is a pale, smokey grayish-blue linen, and I am searching for navy blue fabrics to use as accent pillows. I am thinking a solid, inky dark navy blue in a very decadent fabric, such as mohair, and then cording the pillow with a caramel colored leather to draw on the rich blue and brown colors of the room. My navy blue fabric search is a bit more elusive than I was anticipating. There are many choices in black/noir and many blue fabrics, but the blues are overwhelmingly in the light to medium blue spectrum. I vow to keep you updated on my search! Meanwhile, please enjoy these luscious navy blue rooms.

How do you off set navy from being too nautical looking in a room?
ReplyDeleteGreat question! Punch it up with another color - like a shot of emerald green, coral or pink. If you like a neutral palette chocolate brown and caramel are very chic with navy. Add a layer of pattern like a bold floral, geometric or ethnic print.
