As you can see, navy blue compliments just about any color! I also love navy paired with gold and crisp white, taupe, or red.

Color Trend: Navy Blue
I was flipping through my new Elle Decor January / February issue and their latest Trend Alert is Navy Blue. Navy has never been a color that I've gravitated toward, both in fashion and design, but the more I see it, the more it grows on me. It does pair up quite well with just about any color and it's classic and timeless. It can dress up a space and add sophistication, or it can add energy and panache when complimented with a vibrant color. Either way you look at it, navy really can be fabulous! Maybe it's time I give it a chance in my wardrobe or next design project...How do you feel about navy? What color(s) would you pair it with?

Navy has dropped its uptight "interview suit" feel that it had 20 years ago and feels fresh as an alternative to black. I've gone a bit navy crazy myself lately....wardrobe and interior accents...
ReplyDeleteGreat images - I really love any and all shades of blue!

I love the photos of the navy bedrooms- it looks so chic and preppy but calming too.
ReplyDeleteI love navy in theory, but I have a hard time convincing myself to wear it! Lots of navy pieces in my wardrobe without a lot of use :) Maybe I'll have to give them all another look now!
My closet and my home are filled with navy! It may be my absolute fave color!
ReplyDeleteI love Navy! I recently did a post over at designer-lifestyle.blogspot.com about Navy and White interiors. I chose these colours because they reflect my favourite team the Toronto Maple Leafs! While I love navy and white, I also like the navy and coral, and navy and green options that you suggest. Great post! :) Now I want to go buy that navy blazer I've had my eye on.
ReplyDeleteI've done a blog post on navy and pink which I like, even though I'm not a huge pink kinda girl. I also like it with camel and leopard and the standard nautical red & white.
ReplyDeleteI love navy blue and pink!!!
ReplyDeleteIve dedicated a few too many posts to my new navy bathroom - which I paired with orange and turquoise. More gentlemanly than you'd think I was going with that combo.

I have never been a fan of navy blue (it clashes with my beloved black), but I recently painted the legs of a DIY ottoman navy blue, paired with cream and chartreuse quatrefoil upholstery, and I kinda love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm LOVING that yellow lamp in the third pic down! Also the animal print rug in the nursery, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNavy is my favorite color! I used it for my son's nursery and our bedroom :)
