Bedwoom wall colors that pair well with navy blue living room

5 years ago

Hi. Any recommendations for an accent wall in a well-lit bedroom with a den? Our living room walls are navy blue and accent colors are gold and white. We have a one (big) bedroom apartment, so we're trying to give some harmony to the apartment. We like bold colors and our idea is to have an accent wall in the bedroom that goes well with our navy blue living room. Maybe deep teal?

The adjacent den will have pattern wall paper, so we're not lookig for more pattern in the bedroom wall. Thanks!

Since you're looking for harmony through the whole apartment, can you pull a color for the bedroom's accent wall from the den's wallpaper or a color with a similar tone? What colors are in the wallpaper? Or since your accent colors in the navy living room are gold and white, maybe a bold gold for the accent wall? I don't think a teal would flow very well from the navy.

Dark woods and silver both look great with blues. Are you willing to go midtone to deep blue? Candice Olson did a deep blue, dark wood and silver accents dining room that was GORGEOUS! This one is a lighter, somewhat aqua blue -- I'm still looking for the other deeper one This is not the room I was looking for, but the walls were a similar color to the navy here. You can see it goes with the dark wood and red tones in it as well as the silver chandelier. The finished room was amazing and I remember sparkles from silver and crystal accents.

I think you can do this without breaking the bank.. If you want navy (and use caution about the red white and blue thing....) 1) paint the wall behind the tv. 2) Go to goodwill and pick up some junque. Buy a can of spray paint. Instant co-ordinated accessories. 3) This time of year throws are on clearance everywhere. Get one to add color to the sofa. 4) Likewise, go the fabric store and head straight for the clearance table for a yard or 2 of fabric. Pillow covers are insanely easy to sew, especially if you don't need them to have a closure for washing....for example you just want them to last a few years. 6) You could paint the little table. 7) I have re-upholstered an ottoman. Not too difficult if you take your time. Just use the fabric you take off as a pattern. OR you can make a slipcover (even easier) Check Craigslist for "art"...or make your own with a canvas and various width tape for some graphic design. All you have to do is pick a color...

Not a Pro. If you did not purchase the blue sofa yet, I would consider buying two blue chairs instead. If you purchased the blue sofa you can place it facing the gray sofa, like in the inspiration picture below, where two different sofas are used in the room. Inspiration:

I used on the walls : SW SMOKEY BLUE to off set the white laquer bedroom & chrome fixtures & lamps shades that are warm. I love these drapes and just love the warmth with the blue accent and crisp white. I would like to play with a couple of looks. If I add these I will also do WARM & COOL RUG but something has to balance with design. I alway love design and pattern so much I can mess myself up overdoing. Love some suggestions
