Duck-Egg-Blue Room Ideas
Duck-egg-blue rooms make calm and soothing spaces through their blueish-green shade. This makes it a great base for using in rooms where you want to kick-back and relax.
Pair this tone with darker shades on luxurious fabrics, such as velvet, for an opulent finish. Coupling it with red creates a modern colour clash. Coral, on the other hand, gives a youthful twist to this classic.

Indigo-Blue Room Ideas
Indigo is a darker shade that falls between blue and purple. Its richness is ideal for a touch of femininity. Alternatively, large prints balance this colour for wider appeal.
Mix indigo blue with off-white or neutral for a warm balance of shades. This can be in the pattern itself, on the walls, accessories or furnishings.

Navy-Blue Room Ideas
Navy blue is a dark shade named after British Royal Navy uniforms. It is smart and also imbued with authority.
The history of this colour makes it entirely suited to all-out nautical-themed rooms. It, however, also works in drawing rooms and formal spaces.
Soften the impact of navy by using it with lighter blue shades and plenty of white to brighten and balance. Try it with high ceilings and on occasional chairs for a regal finish.
