The navy is here and summer time is not far away!
Give your space the new summer look of classic navy and
white. An oldie but a goodie; always a favourite of mine, navy blue and white
can be used in any room for a cooling,
calming effect - clean and crisp, but
casual and very livable.

White plantation cane lounge, navy upholstery and white piping.
Recently we fell in love with this gorgeous white plantation
cane lounge, with navy upholstery. So Queensland! The bright white of the cane
offsets the darkening effect of the navy blue to create a dramatically stylish
statement.
Imagine lying back on your porch, pavilion, verandah, feet
up, relaxing in this classic piece of furniture, sipping a 5 o’clock sauvignon
blanc!!

You can adapt this palette to your home as it works well in
lounge, dining, bedrooms and bathrooms. Choose accessories in the room which do
not fight or overwhelm. Dark wood furniture looks striking against navy and
white. Nautical themed items can also be suitable.
Add visual interest and character with carefully chosen
mirrors, wall art, candles, clocks, cushions, lamps, throws and floor rugs. Let
your soft furnishings and cushions sing the blues with a range of textures and
patterns harmonizing, without being too matchy.

Accessories add character

Hang breezy white sheers at the windows and doors for that summery relaxing ambience. Be brave and paint a feature wall in a deep indigo colour - great for a study or office. Be sure to contrast this with lots of white.

Harmonising blues |
To make this scene really sing, you could add a very small
amount of contrasting colour such as daffodil yellow, lime green, bright orange
or hot pink. Perhaps navy and white, handsome as it is, can work its magic at
your home.
