While it may seem intimidating at first, navy blue is actually one of the best, most versatile colors you could choose for your home. Paired with the right partner, it has the power to elevate and enrich your space with its depth and sophistication while still proving bright and open. It's warm but not too much so, and it plays incredibly well with others — there are plenty of colors that go with navy blue.
"Navy blue is really a neutral, in its own way," says Ksenya Malina of New York interior design studio Time & Place Interiors. "It provides depth and tone while pairing flexibly with many other colors." You can use it for "core pieces of furniture like the sofa" or add to it kitchen cabinetry. And "if you have a dark room with little natural light, saturating it in a dark navy gives the space more depth." In other words, decorating with navy is much easier than you may think.
