In fashion, color trends vary with the seasons but for interior design, we look for long-term classic colors that will stand the test of time and add lasting value to an investment. Navy Blue is currently one of those colors that is very fashionable in soft goods and fashion, but it’s also a long-term classic color whose peak in popularity will last for a long time.

Why is Navy Blue a long-term color trend for home interiors?
Navy blue is one color to specifically take note of as it continues to make its way into more and more home interiors. It continues to be a go-to color for nautical and coastal inspired decor, which is perhaps a nod to its longevity and why it persists in fashion and interior palettes year after year.

One of the reasons this color will stand the test of time is that it works so well with popular neutral color schemes of gray, white, taupe, or beige. It can work well with traditional-inspired interiors, as well as transitional and modern styles.
With the popularity of gray color schemes, Navy Blue adds a delightful burst of color while still honoring a neutral color palette. Design by Anna Graham Interiors, Odenton, Maryland featuring a sample of Dura Supreme’s “Gale Force”, part of their Curated Color Collection.

How to use Navy Blue in an interior design
Within all areas of the home, Navy Blue is beautiful as an accent or as the main color. Hardware and metal finishes in either a nickel or a brushed brass finish look stunning with Navy Blue cabinetry and furnishings. Accordingly, on-trend brushed brass finishes are consistent with a nautical appeal.

Within kitchen cabinetry, Navy Blue is most commonly used as an accent color within a small area of cabinetry (i.e. a hutch or an island), an accent wall color, or throughout the stoneware and decorative accents.
