Naval by Sherwin Williams is the perfect navy blue paint color for any room in your home, the exterior of your house or even your kitchen cabinets.

If you’ve been following this blog for any length of time, you’ll already know that my favorite color is blue. And when it comes to blue colors, I think a good navy blue is pretty darn perfect in my book. My all-time favorite navy paint is Naval by Sherwin Williams. I’ve used it several times now and it never fails to disappoint.

I’ve rounded up several beautiful spaces that use this stunning navy paint so if you’re inclined to go to the dark side, hopefully these will persuade you!

This living room uses Naval on the top portion of the walls paired with crisp white board and batten. Other navy elements are pulled in through the rug and throw pillows to create a beautiful nautical look. So pretty!

The perfect navy for a bedroom accent wall - Naval by Sherwin Williams:

Naval Accent Wall via Jenna Kate at Home

My eldest son’s room has a Naval accent wall because it was the only place in our house that my husband would agree to navy. I originally wanted to paint our dining room navy but it was nixed. But hey, we got a pretty fun accent wall here instead! I think with the gray paint (Stonington Gray by BM) and the navy and white striped curtains, it looks pretty cool and masculine.

 

The perfect navy blue paint color for a front door

My love affair with Naval first began after seeing Ann from On Sutton Place’s front door. I instantly went out and purchased a quart of paint and painted my front door too…and then all the shutters on my house. I’ve found that when used on an exterior, the paint is a bit inkier – very true to the color above. And once again, I’m considering this same color for the front door on our new house. It’s just so classy don’t you think?

 

The best navy paint for walls

Navy and crisp white is such a classic look. There’s something so sophisticated and elegant about the contrast between these two colors, and Earnest Home Co. has really nailed it in her foyer. Sheer navy perfection!

Naval isn’t just a great paint color for walls and doors but for kitchen cabinets, too.  Paired with gold hardware, it’s a navy dream!

How about switching it up and painting your ceiling navy? While I don’t suggest doing this in every room of your room, it’s pretty special in a bedroom or even a bathroom. Don’t want to commit to a full ceiling of color? Partially painting the inserts on a tray ceiling brings the room to a whole new level.

Last but not least, Naval is the perfect color if you’re looking to spiff up a piece of furniture, just like Jen from City Farmhouse did with this dresser. It’s the perfect way to add that navy touch to a space without having to commit to a whole wall of color!

I’m off to figure out where else I can add some navy paint in my home. I’m kinda digging the idea of a navy ceiling, I just need to figure out where it would work!

    The walls in my bedroom are SW Neutral Ground with white trim. Would Navy look good as an accent wall with Neutral Ground?

    Looking for a True navy for my shutter on my house. Painting the house alabaster (creamy white) and looking for a deep dark blue. Have you seen this color on shutters?

    Thanks Jenna for your post. I am repainting a glass front bookcase and wanted to paint it navy. The top of the bookcase is unfinished with a dark wood, and one of your pics showed the wood floor, staircase, and navy walls. Perfect! My living room does not have a great deal of light, so the brighter hue of Naval will look a bit more darker, which is my preference is the room. Nearby shelving is bright white, and other walls are gray. I think it will look smashing. Thanks again!
