You may recall earlier this winter I spoke about the design industry's current fixation on cobalt blue. I love the richness of the hue and how it can add a bold pop to a room- but I'm not sure I feel confident enough about it's longevity to purchase a sofa or larger upholstery piece in the shade. However, take it down a few notches to navy, and I'm sold. Combine it with the glamour of velvet, and you've got yourself a sofa made in furniture heaven...
I love seeing navy juxtaposed with corals and oranges:
Or balanced out with carmels and grays, for a boho feel...
Delicious... no? What do you think?
I want one too!! I've already planned my next living room around one ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it! The couches all look so regal and inviting. When paired with coral, it feels very stylish beach house!
ReplyDeleteYes! I've been hooked on the idea of a navy velvet sofa for awhile now. Think it's perfect for merging masculine and feminine style under one roof!
ReplyDeleteYes, delicious. Might be lookin at a navy velvet sofa in my near future.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely delicious. I just re-upholstered my sofa in navy blue. Happy humpday! http://aquahausblog.com/2013/12/06/presto-chango/
ReplyDeleteAlmost went navy with my sofa, but decided on chocolate brown velvet instead. I love this look. Navy is such a great anchor color and velvet is always scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteI'm so stuck on this too!! Emily Henderson's navy headboard? I have a little breakfast nook in my house and I'm thinking the benches should definitely get a navy treatment.
ReplyDeleteI have been feeling for a couple years now that I cannot live without a navy velvet sofa. I feel like it can go in any home, traditional, contemporary, boho, modern. One day I'll get there...
ReplyDeleteok, great minds think alike...me too....I'm undecided on a blue like this or a gray velvet....for the sofa in my living room....I want the room to be very monochromatic....Let's see....but the blue is definitely so luxe!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I have a blue x-bench in our office and I so want to bring it into the living room!

I always wanted a velvet sofa, but with our two cats it'll be messed up in no time. If you get navy, pair it up with orange-yellow-something!

I love this! No way I could have a velvet sofa with a 2 year old but we have a beautiful navy sofa...it's just such an eye catcher!

It's so funny, we recently got a gorgeous gray sofa from West Elm (which I LOVE), but isn't there something special about a deep blue color. Adds certain depth to a space.
ReplyDeleteOur first sofa was navy velvet and it lasted through two babies...and childhood.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't get a cobalt blue sofa, but a navy one, sure! Navy blue is my favorite color and I found the perfect microsuede fabric to reupholster my couch. Navy will always be a classic like black, white and neutrals.
ReplyDeleteI've had a navy sofa for 20 years and change the colors with it often. It is really versatile. You won't be disappointed. I also have had white sofas my whole life and that is something I'll never live without. So excited for your nuptials this year! Such fun planning- enjoy every second. Xo Nancy
ReplyDeleteI agree love the cobalt!
ReplyDeleteI love the navy velvet sofa! I made my headboard out of a navy velvet and love it! It does feel glamorous, but is also great for wear and tear. In such a dark color, you won't get the fabric messy.
ReplyDeleteThese are great tips. Sometimes we get in a rut placing the furniture one way and just by changing a few things around, you can transform a whole room. Nice examples! my home page
