Show me your navy/deep blue/teal rooms

[GemmeFatale]

I’m considering painting our living room a rich deep dark blue shade. Is this completely insane? Is it about to become hideously dated? And if you have this paint colour up at the moment would you share a picture please?

I am having serious stained glass window envy. ❤️

Another one here for Dulux Teal Tension - god, it is fab!
We have dark wood floors, and light grey sofas with white skirting boards and coving, and white furniture, plus a black woodburner with dark wood beam over. It really helps make all the other colours pop!
The colour itself is cosy, and with uplighting is just stunning.

You can go crazy with a colour like that as there are loads of neutrals that suit it and then brighter hues really complement it: greens, corals (!), mustard, dark red, lighter blues.

I can change the decor if I want to (and I do for Christmas, Easter, spring/summer). I get lots of compliments - I've had it for 4 years, and I don't grow tired of it!

p.s. : just to add: I'm painting my study in Dulux Proud Peacock next, it's a more greenish hue, but I think it will work well in the south-westerly small study that gets lots of light - I also have white furniture to go in there, and will probably add some details to the bookcases, wallpaper or paint.
I love these colours - and honestly, I don't think they go out of fashion that easily. Have a look at those wonderful Georgian houses. It's the same colours!

We have saphire salute in our dining room.

This is farrow and ball down pipe. Looks navy in this room but almost black in another room.

Bit of fun, that hall Is amazing.

Wins due to the paint harmonising with the cool windows

Thanks. It was by accident

@Annasgirl I love your pictures too. May I ask where you bought them from? Hope you don’t mind.

@Seemorebemore I'm super impressed by the colour arranged books!

@BitOfFun that wallpaper is seriously stunning! I'm gutted I'm not brave enough to go with something so dramatic.

And also having serious stained glass envy @supadupapupascupa

I'm looking to do my bedroom this year and feel like I'm getting braver for a dark blue/teal colour. Our carpet is a silvery blue colour so I think the navy would go better.

This is giving me lots of ideas - thanks all!

Any recommendation for a particular shade of teal for a north west facing room? Am loving dulux teal tension and valspar vintage teal.

I did our dining room in F&B Railings about 6 years ago - its actually very blue in real life. The room is in the basement and very dark with a low ceiling so it makes it really cosy. We have 2 walls of white painted bookcases and the ceiling is painted in a white egg shell which bounces light down. We have plain navy curtains and navy upholstery on the sofa, armchair and dining chairs and a dark wood dining table - it looks brilliant in candlelight.

@Feelingpoorlysick I love your dining room, what colour is your grey you’ve got with it please?
