Blue is the new black?

Do you remember the post from a few weeks ago on the navy trend? Well it seems the design duo Arent & Pyke are enjoying it too! If you missed it, here it is!

Arent & Pyke are really into inky-blue and shades of navy. We’ve showcased this colour extensively in this house in Sydney’s Balmain, which we are proud to say was shortlisted for the 2012 IDEA Awards for Residential Decoration.

There is an inherent ‘freshness’ to the colour navy, so we use it to add depth and richness to an interior, without the heaviness and finality that black or other deeper colours can bring. Natural materials such as timber, leather, marble and linen are complemented by navy in all of its tones.

In the Balmain house navy is accentuated by the neutral tones of taupe, white, beige and tan. It’s used to provide a subtle block of colour that draws together the tones of the owners’ significant Australian art collection, and ties it with the sea and the sky that lie just beyond the windows. It also grounds a mix of new and vintage design – mid-century furniture, ceramics, rugs and textiles curated to complement one another and create a mood that is evoked by the art. Blue, my friends, is back!’
