Elegant and calming: dark blue is the new trend color for the home

Black is an immortal classic that never goes out of style. But fashion designers and interior designers agree: dark blue is the new black. The royal color creates a feeling of security and calm in the room and ensures an unobtrusive elegance.

It all started on the catwalk

First, dark blue became a trend color in fashion. While rich black was long the universal fashion all-rounder for all occasions, fashion icons began to replace the dark companion with deep blue tones. At Paris Fashion Week 2017, designer Maria Grazia Chiuri showed in her new Dior collection how elegant navy blue looks in all its facets. Deep blue tones were also very prominently represented during Berlin Fashion Week. At his “Luz de la Luna” show, star designer Guido Maria Kretschmer presented fashion and interior together on the catwalk for the first time in cooperation with the online retailer Otto. His latest designs shined in beautiful colors such as inky blue, petrol, gold and purple. The best thing about it: The prices of the designer pieces are really moderate and the collection is now available exclusively through the mail order company.

Effect of the trend color dark blue

Deep blue tones have a mysterious character and are magically attractive. Dark blue is associated with the boundless night sky and the depths of the sea. It stands for the unconscious, the dream of freedom and endless expanses. At the same time, the color also embodies sovereignty, loyalty and inner strength.

Dark blue has a calming effect and conveys a feeling of security. Due to their relaxing effect, dark blue tones are perfect for the bedroom, the bathroom and all rooms where you want to distance yourself from everyday life and leave stress behind.

Which colors go with it?

Night blue is less dramatic than black, but can be combined just as well with all colors. To create a harmonious color concept, you can use a main color, a contrasting color and secondary colors. The colors white and gray are often used as contrasting colors to dark blue. But anthracite and brown can also be used occasionally. What matters here is what effect you want to create in the room. For a real luxury ambience, go for a combination of burgundy red, emerald green and aubergine. With light wood and stone gray, however, you can create a fresh, modern look.

Use stylishly in the interior

As a wall color, night blue gives the room a magical depth and creates a feeling of security. Colored and patterned accessories also look particularly good against dark blue. In the living room, the deep blue tone should be used sparingly so that the room does not appear too dark. A blue velvet sofa, for example, can be a real eye-catcher. It combines two trendy elements: velvet and blue. The soft, shiny velvet also highlights the brilliant opulence of the new trend color.

Warm metal tones create a cozy atmosphere

Dark blue goes particularly well with warm metallic tones such as gold and brass as well as materials such as natural wood and glass. Shiny accessories such as vases, candle holders and lights can be used to create special accents in the room in no time. Dark blue in combination with silver, on the other hand, is reminiscent of a wonderful night under a full moon. You can easily experiment with decorations and home accessories!
