"A colour between green and violet, like the sea and sky on a clear day."

Duck Egg Blue Room Ideas

Duck egg blue rooms make calm and soothing spaces through their bluish-green shade. This makes it a a great base for using in rooms where you want to kick-back and relax.

Pair this tone with darker shades on luxurious fabrics, like velvet, for an opulent finish. Whilst coupling it with red creates a modern colour clash. Coral, on the other hand, gives a youthful twist to this classic.

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.

Navy Blue Room Ideas

Navy blue is a dark shade that got its name from the British Royal Navy uniforms. It's 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.
