Navy living room: how to decorate

Navy brings depth, weight and elegance without turning gloomy like black. It's the perfect dark colour for anyone who wants drama with warmth.

How navy works in the living room

In the living room, a navy sofa or feature wall gives instant elegance; off-white, brass and wood keep it light enough.

Keep in mind what's specific to this room: the room's largest colour surfaces and a clear seating group. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.

Colours that pair well with navy

Navy is lifted by off-white and brass, warmed by wood and rust, and sharpened by white. A modern, timeless combination.

Materials and details

Velvet, wool and brass make navy luxurious; wood balances the depth.

The most common mistake

Combining navy with only black and grey — the room turns heavy. Always add light and one warm tone.

See navy in the living room — before you paint

The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the living room and type "repaint the living room in navy". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
