If you’re looking to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your home decor, consider incorporating deep blue hues inspired by the depths of the ocean. This rich and saturated colour has become increasingly popular in recent years and with good reason. Universally loved the intensely indulgent hue brings effortless luxury to any room of the home.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to incorporate deep blue decor into your home, from decoration be that exotic accent walls, for a bedroom to decorative elements for every room in the home.
Dive in and explore the beauty of navy blue.
Start with small accents.
If you’re hesitant to fully commit to the deep blue trend, start small by incorporating accents in this colour. We adore the swimming fish which evokes a Japanese flavour perfect for mealtimes or as a simple decorative ornament in the bathroom or on a side table.
Blue and white are always a winning combination of classical-style lamps or nautical navy striped. The stripped table lamp is a perfect example, smart yet joyful.
Navy and white stripes on chandeliers soften the look making it feel Oh la la Parisian.
Small touches of dark blue help ground a pale scheme. This could be as simple as adding a few throws pillows or a decorative vase in a deep blue shade. These small touches can add depth and interest to your existing decor without overwhelming the space. Plus, it’s an easy way to test out the trend before diving straight into the rich oceans of blue.
I’d say dive in, blue is the one colour you can rely on there are so many lovely hues of dark water-coloured blue to choose from.
Mix and match textures and patterns.
When incorporating deep blue decor into your home, don’t be afraid to mix and match textures and patterns. This can add visual interest and depth to your space. For example, stripes with florals will work if they have the same tonal colours.
Use blue as a statement wall colour.
If you’re hesitant to commit to deep blue decor fully, consider using it as a statement wall colour. You don’t need to miss out completely, bring in a little blue in a bedroom perhaps.
You can have a little nod to nautical blues but use nautical sparingly and keep to the seaside theme with an odd scatter cushion but do stay away from too much trickery trash or you’ll lose the elegance of the look. Remember less is more when you enter into themed decor.
Seaside can be stylish these coral cushions are a delight and act as a lovely accent against a deep blue water colour.
This can add a pop of colour and interest to a room without overwhelming the space. Choose a wall that is already a focal point, such as the wall behind your bed or the wall with a fireplace. Pair the deep blue with neutral furniture and decor to create a balanced and cohesive look.
Pair with complementary colours for a cohesive look.
When incorporating deep blue decor into your home, it’s important to consider complementary colours to create a cohesive look. Some great options include shades of white, cream, beige, and grey. These neutral colours will help balance out the boldness of the deep blue and create a calming and inviting atmosphere. You can also add pops of metallic accents, such as gold or silver, to add glamour and sophistication to the space.
