In fact, small bursts of nautical flavour are best, such as using stripes on an accent wall, carpet, or even one or two cushions to update a minimalist room.

When you use navy as a background colour in a room, such on your kitchen backsplash or as an accent wall in a bedroom, you create a foundation on which to bring bright colours. Hot pink, for instance, is perfect in small amounts as it looks fresh and beautiful against navy blue. Citrus shades can revive a kitchen, making blue step away from the spotlight but create beautiful background noise. When these bright shades are set against white, they can seem too bright. Navy blue helps to tone them down a notch while accentuating their power.
