Navy Blue & White Interior Schemes
This past week I had the pleasure of constructing a navy blue and white mood board for my Instagram Grid and Reels post.
I ventured to explain how the use of these two hues can create totally contrasting schemes.
These first two images have a similarity inasmuch as both have added a rich mohogany brown to the otherwise blue and white scheme.
This adds a warmth and richness which is what I eluded to in my description of the mood board.
Cosy
Here a squishy leather sofa and textured scatter cushions against the dark blue walls create a lush, cosy feel. Autumn ready?
Contemporary
The white walls and light coloured furniture present a contemporary style that is enhanced by the use of the navy accessories and dark wood highlights. Scandi influence?
Kitchens
These two kitchens have a completely different look and feel despite the matching colour palette.
The one on the left is ultra modern with its high gloss work surface and navy blue scallop shaped tiles. By contrast the one on the right if far more rustic with its all navy blue cabinetry and brick style tiles.
All embracing
This monochromatic scheme is brought to life with the use of different textures and patterns. The continuity of paint colour across the book shelf, wall, window frame, and shutters makes it almost feel cocoon like. The patterned ceiling is an interesting feature.
Striking
The hallway below might be considered an odd mixture of styles. The artwork, however, pulls the whole scheme together which otherwise might look quite disjointed.
The addition of the red cabinet and zebra rug make a striking combination against the navy blue and white wallpaper and Japanese vases.
Ultimately, navy blue and white can look trés chic and ultra sophisticated. The clever use of patterns and textures is key to achieving a cohesive look.
