navy blue & brown
When it comes to colors that are both classic and versatile, for me, it doesn’t get much better than navy blue. Deep, inky blues are not only great neutral backdrops, they add a touch of glamour and elegance to any space. I am obsessed with this color, finding every opportunity to infuse a little inky blue in my rooms for a crisp, modern feel. (I’ve even managed to accumulate quite a bit of this color in my closet, as well!) Navy blue is timeless and I can’t think of a better color companion than tans and browns. Here are some beautiful examples of the two:

Get the look by painting your walls a deep, moody blue and pair it with warm, natural textures and soft fabrics. Here are my picks:
Benjamin Moore paint in Soot
Woven Roman blinds
Knobby loop rug
Ming China bud vases
Scramble fabric in chocolate
Ticking stripe in navy blue
Handpicked daisies fabric in lake
Dhurrie pillow
Wood frames and burlap mats
