Living Room Color Combo: Navy and Teal Vibes Mood Board

So, why navy and teal?

I like to think of navy as a timeless tone that offers a calming mood. Pair that with teal's energizing and refreshing feel, and you have a perfectly balanced color combination. Together, they create a combo that works for all design styles and rooms, especially your living room.

Even if you love neutrals, like I do, these two tones will help you create a statement for your home. Try adding these pops of color in your living room in the following spots:

• A Statement Wall: If you're looking to create a focal point in your living room, paint one or more walls in navy tones and balance the rest of the elements by adding pops of color that complement it. For our Give Me All the Blues living room project, we added wallpaper in a navy. It really elevates the look and creates a statement! Plus, how cool is that chandelier that complements the look?

• Furniture: If you're feeling edgy, adding custom furniture in a navy or teal tone will create a focal point in your home. In one of our upcoming projects, a living room makeover, we're adding this custom furniture piece as a focal point and complementing it with neutral and warm tones to balance the look.

• Accesories: Navy and teal accessories are a good option to elevate your living room's look. You can also try adding a little sparkle and include pops of gold to contrast your blues. Gold adds a touch of luxury. In our Modern Coastal Abode, we added a gold frame to the TV that makes it look like an art piece! It creates a striking balance with the blue background of the built-ins. Pair that with some personalized decor pieces, and you have a room ready to entertain!

• Match with neutrals: Add neutral tones, like soft grays, creams, or whites, to your teal and navy palette. These soft tones will help keep the space from feeling crowded. You can also add small accents, such as a light-colored area rug or drapes, which can lighten the feeling and allow the navy and teal to be the stars of your room. In our Refined Casual Living Project, we included pops of navy and teal in the pillows, lamps, decor, and window treatment. It really elevates the room's look while creating balance.
