DIVE INTO DEEP BLUE

Whether you want to create a moody look or find a dark backdrop to highlight an accent colour, you can’t go wrong with this on-trend inky hue

Dare to go dark?

Sultry, mysterious and inviting, navy blue is a fantastic way to create a timeless feel in your home. ‘Use these shades to add style and drama,’ advises Farrow & Ball’s head of creative, Charlotte Cosby. ‘Colours such as Hague Blue, Stiffkey Blue and Inchyra Blue are growing in popularity. The use of deeper shades is generally best suited to smaller rooms that are already starved of natural light, where instead of fighting the existing gloom with a white, you embrace it and make a virtue of its darkness.’
