What Colours Go With a Navy Sofa Bed?

Navy is one of the most adaptable colours for a sofa bed. It grounds a room like charcoal or black, yet feels softer and more characterful, and it hides everyday marks far better than pale upholstery. The question is what to put around it. In this guide we look at the colours and materials that pair most successfully with navy in British homes, from warm whites, soft greys and greige to mustard, ochre, blush, terracotta and a range of greens. We explain how north and south facing light changes the way navy reads, and why natural wood, rattan and warm metallics such as brass work so well alongside it. We also cover choosing a rug that sits flat beneath an opening bed, using wall art to tie colours together, colours to use with care, and three complete example schemes. Finally, we look at bedding colours, so the room still feels considered when the sofa bed is open for guests....
