Blue Inspiration
If blue’s your hue - why not commit? Build up the layers; a blue sofa, a blue rug and blue accessories. Not necessarily the same shade, but a palette of deep, calming blues will be serene and sophisticated. Here’s a few ideas...
1. Our Vintage Leather - Shadow is the darkest of blues and will add drama to your lounge. We’ve given Holly a feminine touch by adding cushions in dark florals.

2. Dramatic colour with beautiful texture; our Family Friendly Plush Chenille is the perfect choice for a family home. We’ve overdosed on pattern by accessorising with Jungle Shade cushions and a modern rug.

3. Dark blue velvet is effortlessly elegant - even better our Family Friendly Soft Velvet uses Aquaclean Technology which means everyday stains can be removed with a damp cloth. We’ve accessorised Briony with a range of pared-back blues.

Balancing Blue
Dark blue acts as a great base to which you can add other colours. If all blue is a little too much, here’s our suggestions of some great partners to this decadent shade:
Rich yellow such as Golden Spice adds brightness to navy, whilst a neutral like Llama Tail will lighten up the darkest of blues. If you feel that masculine navy needs a feminine touch, why not add some blush pink - our Family Friendly Soft Velvet - Rose Quartz is the perfect partner.

In the Navy
A navy corner sofa makes a great statement piece in a large lounge. We’ve teamed our Imogen Sofa with a leather footstool for a pair that's classically cool. Adding accessories in metallic tones will lighten the look and add a touch of glamour.
