Navy and Copper Colour Partnership

This season is all about a NAVY and COPPER colour partnership that creates a stylish visual statement in any room of the home. The combination of strong and rich navy with shimmering metallic copper gives a contrasting yet complimentary finish that is sophisticated and glamorous. This look will work well in both modern and traditional homes and is sure to create a designer finish in your chosen room.

If your room is small then try and confine your chosen navy or midnight blue colour choice to a singular feature wall such as a chimney breast, alcove or large plain wall to create a focalised area of colour that does not overpower the interior space. For larger rooms then go crazy and paint all of the walls in your chosen hue or the lower area beneath a dado rail for an elegant look and finish. Navy also works well on traditional wall panels for a period style look or on wooden cladding for a more Scandinavian touch to your room. You can alternate your navy colour with a shimmering copper coloured paint or use copper as you accent tone on your accessories and soft furnishings.

Textiles are a great way of including this trend in your home and can be used to create statement colour and pattern without extensive redecoration. A set of heavy, navy velvet curtains will look striking hung on a copper detailed curtain pole with co-ordinating copper tie-backs for a simple and traditional look that will stand out against a plain painted wall. For a pop of pattern then select navy cushion covers with copper patterns such as geometric shapes, stripes and chevrons or copper tassels, beads and sequins for the ultimate glamorous finish. These can be displayed alongside a rich navy rug for a co-ordinating finish.

Copper accessories are a hot trend on the high street this 2016 and are a perfect way brining an opulent look into a navy painted interior space. Opt for classic items such as vases, candleholders and frames for a refined period style feel or select abstract and sculptural accessories for a modern take on this look. Copper crockery and cutlery are set to be a popular choice for autumn/winter and will look great against a navy tablecloth or navy painted dining table creating a space that is perfect for enjoying a sophisticated meal with friends and family.

Copper lighting is another trend that has hit the high street this season and they come in a wide range of styles to suit all homes. For a classically elegant look then select a large navy pendulum shade with a metallic copper interior that will create a focal point when hung in the centre of the room or above a dining table, sofa or bed. If you prefer a more unusual designer look; paint a traditional ceiling rose in deep navy or midnight blue and add a large chrome chandelier for a contemporary twist on period interior design. Copper storm lanterns will look fabulous along a mantelpiece, sideboard or dining table and will create a soft ambient light against the deep navy backdrop.

If you are bored of traditional oak or white and black furniture items then why not be bold with some navy and copper items that are sure to create a statement in your chosen room. Take a single item such as a dresser, sideboard or wardrobe and paint in a matt navy paint for a sleek and sophisticated finish. Next paint the exterior panels, drawer fronts or edges with a metallic copper paint or add copper handles in either modern or traditional styles to suit your tastes. Retro and period style items work particularly well in this chosen colour combination and make a real focal point against a neutral painted wall.
