What color walls would look best with Navy blue carpet?

Question

My master bedroom has dark blue carpet. I have white furniture in the room. The carpet is a Navy blue color. I would like to paint the walls a color besides white. What color would look the best with my carpet and furniture? Thank You.

Answer 1

If you want to achieve a New England look you could paint your walls either a light blue and decorate with a pale or lemon yellow or do vice versa.

If you want neutral a light taupe and maroon accents work geat but are more manly.


Or paint your walls a light blue and with the Navy carpet and white furniture get the scandiavian look

Answer 2

I had a bedroom in an old 1910 Victorian just like your room. It had 10 ft ceilings, navy blue carpet (very hard to keep clean, by the way, but so what - it's beautiful)...I put navy blue with soft rose, vine, striped wallpaper to 8 ft, then crisp white molding strip, then the rest of the wall and ceiling were that soft rose color. Gorgeous! Especially at night, the ceiling just glowed in low light. Best room I ever did. I had mahogany furniture, but your white stuff would look even better with crisp white door frames&windows. Soft, sheer white curtains billowing at the window, a few muted quilts. The whole thing can be done with paint&stencils, too. Sounds like fun!

Answer 3

I agree with NeedtoKnow about a tan. I think Sherwin Williams Whole Wheat would look great with your navy blue carpet. With white high gloss trim - very crisp and sophisticated!

Answer 4

paint the ceiling and trim white and pick the wall will no windows or doors like trim to paint white besides the baseboards and make that the accent wall by painting that white as well... then on the other three walls paint that like a soft orange color and perfect .... paint the handles or knobs on the furniture that orange colors ... damn im good... lol have fun

Answer 5

I would go with a soft beige. You could play up the beige and white combination and then throw in a few very subtle navy accents. Don't ignore the navy. Work with it.

Answer 6

Any shades of beige or tan will make it look crisp and clean. But don't go too dark, it will make your room look much smaller that it actually is. Hope this helps!

Answer 7

depending on what color your bedspread and curtains are, you can go with mauve, pale yellow, , or how about wallpaper with pinks and blues, and orchards, even yellow. i love fower patterns. have fun

Answer 8

Pale shade of gray.

Answer 9

I would choose A PALE BLUE or pale gray.

Answer 10

light blue, any of the tan shades
