Navy painted wall in living room?

Our living room is about 19ft long by 12ft wide, we do get a lot of light in as there are patio doors at one end that lead out on the the garden & a good sized window at the opposite end. At the moment the walls are painted white, with the exception of one wall that has a pale grey brick effect wallpaper on. I'm thinking of taking the paper down & painting the wall in a navy blue colour. Only it's a bare wall, there isn't anything against it, no pictures hung or mirror, only the electric fire. Would it look odd with nothing on or against such a strong colour? I'd like to do it & have seen some lovely pictures on Pinterest but just afraid of taking some good wallpaper down & screwing it up!

Our decorator recommended we get a bog standard dark grey to go under the stiffkey blue.
Just one coat of that, I think. Same for the woodwork.

I had the Breton blue in my old house - 1 wall white & 3 in the blue with exposed stonework & white ceiling with spots. It was an old cottage & looked amazing, even though it wasn't a particularly light room.
