Monthly Inspirational Mood Board: Using Sherwin Williams' Color of the Year SW 6244 Naval

This year, Sherwin Williams announced their color of the year was SW 6244 Naval. When announcing the rich navy as their pick for 2020, they explained their choice as, “Naval is the new, approachable neutral that goes with everything.” We couldn't agree more! Navy is such a timeless and elegant color choice and works well with almost any design style. To prove this, both of us have created our own inspirational mood boards for two different rooms in your home- each with a touch of our own personal styles. Check out what we designed below and let us know which room in your house you would love to decorate using SW 6244 Naval.  

Using SW 6244 Naval in Your Kitchen

Alyssa's Design

"I had so much fun designing this kitchen! Navy is such a great color for kitchen cabinets, it is a fun change from the all white kitchen trend while still giving you a timeless look. I love the pop of color from the light blue contrasting island with the butcher block countertop to add some texture. Adding a vibrant, yet updated, oriental runner adds more color and texture into a room that can often feel sterile. Leather barstools are a great addition, not only for functionality, but to also dress up the room. All-in-all, a navy kitchen can be warm and inviting, while also being timeless."                                                                -Alyssa

Using SW 6244 Naval in Your Dining Room

Angie's Design

"I decided that the color of the year, Naval, from Sherwin Williams, would be beautiful and dramatic for a dining room. Because dining rooms tend to be more formal, I thought using Naval on paneled walls, would set the tone for the room. Then, I added an amazing tiled fireplace to up the drama. The area rug, with it's blend of navy, white and light teal/blue, as well as the fun drapery in the white and blue pattern, tone down the formality of the room. Pairing a transitional table and upholstered white chairs with the formal chandelier and sconces, keeps the room comfortable and inviting. I hope you like the combination."
