The Allure of Navy

Navy is that color you can count on. It’s moody without feeling heavy, classic without being boring. Here in New England, it feels right at home—whether you’re working with historic bones or sleek modern lines. From our design projects in Brookline, Hingham or Concord, navy brings warmth, depth, and just the right amount of drama. It’s a natural fit for spaces full of mid-century finds, vintage treasures, and tailored furnishings.

A Tailored Space

This media room is all about making a statement. Deep navy walls and a coffered ceiling set the tone—original and classic, but approachable. A custom charcoal sectional from Ligne Roset anchors the space, while roman shades in the same hue keep it polished.

The details bring it to life: swivel chairs in rich a cognac velvet, a trio of refurbished tables, and a graphic rug that adds just enough edge. It’s cozy, sophisticated, and ready for everything from movie nights to marathon board games. Explore more of this Brookline gem from its feature in The Boston Globe

Cinematic Vibes

Navy wainscot and ceiling-high wallpaper turn this space into a design statement. Discreet sconces add soft, cinematic lighting—perfect for movie nights or just scrolling in peace.

Built-in shelving displays sentimental toys while floor-to-ceiling drapery keeps things private. A massive sectional, Walter G pillows, and a playful ottoman create a space that feels like a warm embrace. The giant fish print adds the perfect touch.

Mid-Century Blues

Benjamin Moore’s Hale Navy highlights the original millwork in this Concord estate, giving it a timeless presence. Lee Jofa wallpaper carries the hue to the ceiling, creating a rich, monochromatic backdrop.

Soft neutrals offset the navy, with a tufted sofa and mid-century inspired lounge chairs adding relaxed character. Walnut tables and sculptural details bring warmth, while tailored navy Roman shades and drapery frame the French doors with understated polish. Explore more of this Concord home here.
