The Best Wall Colours to Pair With a Navy Dining Table

The wall colours that pair most successfully with a navy dining table are warm whites, soft plaster pinks, muted sage greens, stone and greige neutrals, and ochre or mustard for a bolder contrast. For a dramatic, enveloping room, you can also paint the walls in a deep blue close to the table itself. In this guide, we explain how the direction your room faces changes the way each colour looks, and why testing samples under artificial light matters for a room used mainly in the evening. We look at each option in turn, including earthy terracotta and clay, and suggest the furniture, metals and textures that complete each scheme. You will also find advice on painting woodwork and ceilings, choosing chairs that connect the table to the walls, and using art and accessories to tie the room together.
