16 Ways To Transform Your Space Into A Navy Blue Bedroom Oasis
Navy goes beautifully with a range of other colors, from warm and silver metallics alike to vibrant greens and yellows. Whatever your personal favorites are, it’s a safe bet that it can work with a shade of navy!
Silver, gold, white, light gray, yellow, olive green, tan, light blue, pink, jade green, blush, taupe, greige, turquoise, and red are some of the colors that look amazing with navy blue. Whew! That’s a long list. As you can see, navy blue is an incredibly versatile base color on which you can build a beautiful palette for your boudoir.
There are many bold ideas in this list, like a fully navy blue accent wall. This is a deep, dark look that can feel a little too bold for some. Not to worry! You can incorporate navy blue in small pieces here and there – from throw pillows to patterned wall stencils. If you’ve never decorated with dark colors before, then start small. Before you know it you’ll have the confidence for a big decor statement like a navy wall mural.
For those of you who decide to take the plunge and paint a navy blue accent wall, here’s a tip: use paint primer. Paint primer is a pro trick that makes dark colors go on more evenly for a rich, smooth finish. You paint on a layer of primer first, then you do one or two coats of the navy blue. Yes, it’s an extra step, but trust us – you’ll be glad you did it!

Even though there aren’t many patterns here, the textures like the quilted seams in the blanket and the cute pom pom trims create interesting contrasts.
