Elle Decor calls it the new neutral, and we can’t blame them; after all, navy blue is basically a color from the sea, and since land and sea form the basis for what we consider to be earth tones or neutral hues, the argument holds water. Â (See what we did there?)
Not as stark as black, but still a statement color all its own that goes with more complementary shades than one might think, navy blue is a clean, classic foundation color on which to design a space. We’re paying close attention today to living rooms and bedrooms, with a chair from Urban Outfitters that would be equally at home in either spot.
Paired with white, it’s always a crisp choice just teeming with class, and it’s still dark enough to hide the stains and spills that invariably come with motherhood. So ahoy, mateys… climb aboard!
