The right shade of blue can have a transformative effect on your home. Arresting, dramatic, intense, the navy blue amps up the mood and it injects youthful energy into a home.

The appeal of navy blue is that It’s just as versatile as grey, while providing a stunning backdrop to sit furniture and accessories against.

The bravest way to embrace the navy blue style is by painting your walls, which can bring richness and drama to your space, maybe adding a little pop of contrasting colour to balance the look. It’s the formula for magic.

But you can also try to invest in a navy sofa or introducing the colour with smaller layer accents like rugs, fabrics and linens.
