What Colour Blinds & Curtains Work Best With Navy Walls?

Colour pairings for rooms with Navy Blue walls

Navy Blue is an incredibly popular colour in the world of interior design these days, you’d be hard pressed to see a home that does not use Navy blue somewhere in its décor. The modern ubiquity of Navy Blue and interior design is a far cry from the colour’s origin back in the 1700’s when Navy Blue dyes were first made for dyeing the uniform of Royal navy Officers, which is where it gets its name from.

As a colour, Navy Blue is something of an enigma, projecting a timeless classic look, while also being completely at home in a modern décor scheme; it’s a bold, eye catching colour that somehow still works when used as a subtle accent – Navy Blue really is a do it all colour, that perfectly meshes with most décor schemes.

Onto the question at hand, we have had a few customers recently ask us what coloured blinds would work best in their rooms with Navy Blue walls, so we have made a shortlist of our favourite colour pairings for window blinds in a Navy Blue room.

Navy Blue Tones

Let’s start with the most straightforward colour pairing for blinds in a room with navy blue walls, navy blue! If you’re looking to create a sense of cohesion and uniformity with your blinds or curtains, then pairing a set of navy blue blinds with the navy blue walls will do just that.

If you’re not too into the straight up monochrome look, you can use navy blinds with a pattern to create a more dynamic and interesting look for your room.

A few good options for navy blue blinds to pair with your home’s navy blue walls would be: our Sara Miller Underwater Midnight Roller Blinds (pictured), our Cath Kidston Spitalfields Border Navy Roller Blinds, or our Navy Metal Venetian Blinds.

White & Neutral Colours

If you’re looking to create a nice sense of synergy between your blinds and your navy blue walls, then white (and off white tones) will be a great colour choice for your curtains or blinds. White and navy blue are two colours that perfectly complement each other to create a stunning look.

When adding accent colours into a navy blue room, white should be your first choice as the bright white tones will make the darker navy blue colours feel deeper and more intimate, making white blinds an easy choice.

A few good white shades to pair with navy blue walls would include: our Sara Miller Dragonfly White Roller Blinds (pictured), our Mayfield Frost Curtains, or our Salthouse White Day & Night Blinds.

Lighter Blue Hues

Another good colour pairing you can use in your navy blue room, is to use light blue blinds or curtains. Pairing navy blue walls with a light blue window shade will create a nice balance of contrasting and complimenting colours.

The lighter hues of a light blue window shade will add a touch of brightness to the room, while also deepening the darkness of the navy blue walls; at the same time the different blue tones will also create a sense of cohesion without being monochrome.

A few good light blue window shade options to pair with your home’s navy blue walls would include: our Sara Miller Wisteria Pale Blue Roller Blinds (pictured), our Tempe Sky Curtains, or our Mankato Powder Blue Roman Blinds.

Bold Pink Colours

Now, if you’re looking to create a bold contrast between your navy blue walls and your new window shades, then bold pink colours are an excellent choice to create a high level of colour contrast. The bold pink hues will command attention in your navy blue room and help draw the eye.

While pink and blue are commonly paired together in pastel or ‘baby’ shades, the look of a bold pink against a dark navy blue is one of the most powerful colour combinations you can use in your home.

A few good choices for pink window shades to use in a room with navy blue walls include: our Sara Miller Birds of Paradise Fuchsia Roller Blinds (pictured), our Toscana Pink XL Roller Blinds, or our Georgia Blush Roman Blinds.
