23 Navy Blue Headboard Bedroom Ideas That Are Great if You Love the Regal Color
If you want to add a navy blue headboard to your bedroom but aren’t quite sure how to style it, then you should definitely take a look at the 23 ideas that we have compiled below. There are so many different ways to decorate with this piece of furniture, and it is a versatile and welcoming color that will work well with many different decor styles.
Whether you wish to create a space that is primarily neutral with a few touches of color or want to go all out and create a room that will make a statement, you will definitely be able to draw plenty of inspiration from the rooms below.
1. Go the Traditional Route
Navy blue is often a color that is included in classic and traditional decor styles, so if that is the look you are aiming for, you cannot go wrong. It looks right at home in this sophisticated and elegant space and works perfectly with the red, pink, white, and gold that are present throughout the room.
2. Add Whimsical Artwork
Navy also works wonderfully in rooms that are a bit more playful, so feel free to have a little bit of fun with your decor. The headboard used in this space is a very rich shade of navy and is also nice and tall, making it a great statement piece.
One way to add color to your walls is by hanging vibrant artwork like the pieces that you see here. This gallery wall features an eclectic mix of vibrant paintings, any of which could also be styled elsewhere in the home for a layered look. The blues and greens used in the prints help to bring the wall to life but would also look nice on their own in a different area of the room.
3. Think Through All Textiles
Blue and white is a classic color combination and is featured throughout this room in the form of pillows, a vibrant rug, and drapery. By using the color duo throughout the space, the designer has been able to create a cohesive look that is both inviting and bold.
4. Add a Bit of Parisian Flair
This bedroom may even transport you to Paris with its ornate mirror, chandelier, and architectural details. The brass furnishings and ram bust also bring a bit of glamour to the space, and the headboard itself is both charming and regal with its sweet rounded corners.
5. Introduce Vibrant Green
Rug looking a bit tired? Give it an upgrade by placing a stylish and eye-catching covering in its stead. This emerald green piece looks fantastic against the dark wood floors used throughout this bedroom and adds a bit of luster to the space.
6. Work Toward a Collected Look
Design a headboard that’s been passed down to you and seen better days? Weathered furniture can be charming when styled with intention, but if you feel that your piece could use some sprucing up, give it a new coat of paint to make it look good as new. Here, the blue headboard adds to the collected, vintage aesthetic of this bedroom.
7. Keep It Light and Airy
Navy blue may be a classically moody hue, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be used in bright spaces. This room features white walls and plenty of natural light, which keeps the color feeling cheerful and welcoming.
8. Try Teal Accents
Teal colored lamps add a lovely jewel toned accent to this bedroom and work well alongside the rich blues, greens, and golds that are featured throughout. By incorporating various tones of the same few colors, you’ll be able to add plenty of visual interest to your bedroom and make it appear more layered.
9. Don’t Be Afraid to Go Boho
Whether you consider yourself a maximalist at heart or just want to make a major statement in your bedroom, you should consider draping fabric across your ceiling and attaching it to your headboard. This will create a dreamy, boho style canopy that will make your bed the centerpiece of the room. Plus, the piece doubles as artwork, drawing the eye upwards as soon as you enter.
10. Use Geometric Prints
The drapery used in this bedroom is almost akin to a canopy in that it envelops the bed and creates a cozy atmosphere within the space. The geometric print used on the fabric is bold and modern, and other geometric shapes and patterns are featured elsewhere in the room on accent pillows, meaning that the pattern nicely repeats throughout the space.
11. Feature a Toss of Pattern
The banded bedding used in this room features a simple border that gives it a tailored, sophisticated look. The white toss pillow features a more whimsical print, providing the room with a bit of an organic touch.
12. Paint Your Headboard
If you aren’t able to find a navy headboard that you love, no need to stress—just make it a weekend project to paint one of your own. That’s exactly what this homeowner did to craft the bed of their dreams. The headboard was initially a natural wood tone but looks totally custom and high end with its new paint job.
13. Maintain a Look That Pops
Navy blue looks great with lime green and yellow but also looks nice with these shades when they are styled on their own. If you prefer a palette that is more soothing, try incorporating a soft blue like this one into the mix as well.
14. Craft a Farmhouse Look
Seeking to add a little warmth to your bedroom? Bring in a wooden bench like this one that doubles as nightstand, adding space for decorative accents and ensuring that the look of the room doesn’t become too one-note. Rooms with a mixed look of decor are always more visually pleasing and welcoming, after all.
15. Go for the Greece Influence
Bring a bit of Greece in your space with the addition of woven pieces or lovely sun-bleached prints. Whether you opt for drapery, pillows, a rug or wallpaper (or all of the above), you’ll feel as if you’ve embarked on the ultimate Grecian getaway.
16. Welcome in Some Hotel Styles
Wondering how to duplicate that five star hotel look that you love? Make a canopy bed out of your own like this one and you’ll feel as if you’re sleeping in a luxury suite every night. To complete the look, opt for a duvet that’s a solid tone and is a little bit more sleek, and a coverlet with a bit of texture to really make the bed pop.
17. Keep Walls Neutral
Don’t want to commit to painting your walls but crave a little bit of color in your bedroom? Paint your wooden furniture instead. Here, a light gray dresser looks lovely against the navy blue wall and adds a bit of variation to the room. The piece would look right at home in a farmhouse style bedroom but works just as well with a more traditional look.
18. Work in Some Glamour
Thought that navy blue and pink was just for little girls? Think again. The combo can look fabulous in an adult bedroom, especially when paired with luxe pieces like fur ottomans and lacquered nightstands. If you want to add a bit of an edge to the room, try bringing in some black accents as well, such as on the picture frames or on the light fixtures.
19. Mix Rustic and Modern Touches
Craving a little pop of personality in the corner of your room? Try a fringed accent chair on for size. Worried about mixing styles? A rustic piece like this wooden bookshelf will look just fine in the room with more contemporary, modern furnishings.
20. Add a Striped Rug
Love a coastal vibe? Bring a navy blue headboard into your bedroom if you don’t already have one, then complete the look with other seaside style pieces, like this striped rug. Striped pillows would look just as charming on the bed and would still contribute to that welcome vacation look.
21. Bring in Plenty of Artwork
With tall ceilings comes a lot of wall space and an opportunity to go all out with artwork. Don’t be afraid to bring oversized pieces into your bedroom. In fact, doing so will cause the room to appear more grand and luxurious.
22. Buy a Bed of Your Dreams
Struggling to find the right headboard for your space? Expand your search from a headboard to a full bed or even a canopy style bed. Evaluate your bedroom and your lifestyle to determine what type of bed will work best for you. If you like to lounge in bed and sit up reading or watching TV, a footboard may be the way to go. If you like to have more space to spread out, a simple headboard is always a safe choice. If you desire to turn your bed into a show stopping centerpiece, then a canopy bed like previously shown may be best for you.
23. Go for the British Influence
Bring in a little British colonial flair with cane furnishings. Whether you opt for a full cane headboard or a nightstand, these pieces will add some old world charm to your bedroom. If that look’s not for you, opt for a piece that’s a little bit more modern, like this sleek metal and glass nightstand. You’ll appreciate the touch of contemporary style in a space that’s inspired by centuries past. Or place both pieces in the room together for a nice mixed look.
