When I first considered a navy and orange color scheme for my bedroom, I was amazed at how this vibrant combination can transform a space.
Honestly, the rich depth of navy serves as the perfect backdrop, while the energetic pops of orange bring warmth and cheerfulness.
I quickly discovered that mixing these colors allows for endless creativity, whether through bold accent walls or playful accessories.
From bedding to artwork, each piece can harmonize beautifully, creating a cozy yet lively atmosphere.
If you’re ready for a refreshing change, this dynamic duo might just be the inspiration you need to elevate your bedroom’s style.
Make a Statement with a Navy Accent Wall
If you’re hesitant to decorate with bold colors, an accent wall is a great way to test the waters.
This navy wall in a bedroom designed by Emily Henderson adds depth and drama to the space without overwhelming it.
The white ceiling and trim keep the room feeling light and bright.
A navy wall also provides a sophisticated backdrop for artwork and wall decor.
Here, a mirror, a pair of framed prints, and a wall sconce look chic against the dark wall.
Add Burnt Orange Bedding for Instant Warmth
If you’re not ready to commit to a bold navy and orange color scheme in your bedroom, start by adding a pop of color with your bedding.
This navy and orange duvet cover adds warmth and dimension to an otherwise neutral bedroom.
The combination of navy and orange is a classic way to create a cozy, inviting space, and it’s perfect for fall.
Pair a Navy Headboard with Orange Throw Pillows
In this bedroom designed by Studio Ashby, the navy headboard and bed skirt are a perfect complement to the orange accent pillows.
The bedding and walls are white, which keeps the room feeling bright and airy.
The black and white rug and black sconces add a little bit of contrast to the space, while the yellow throw pillow adds another pop of color.
Try a Two-Tone Navy and Orange Color Block Wall
If you’re looking for a bold way to use navy and orange in your bedroom but don’t want to commit to a full paint job, consider this color block wall idea.
The navy and orange wall art creates a bold focal point that’s balanced out by the rest of the room’s neutral colors and simple patterns.
While the wall art might look intimidating, this is a project that you can tackle on your own. Just use painter’s tape to block off sections of the wall and paint away!
Layer Cozy Textiles in Deep Blue and Rust
This bedroom by Emily Henderson is a masterclass in layering colors and textures. The navy velvet headboard is the perfect backdrop for the rust and navy bedding.
The black and white patterned throw adds a little contrast, while the rust velvet bench at the foot of the bed adds a touch of warmth to the space.
The deep blue and rust color scheme is carried throughout the room, from the artwork above the bed to the rug and the throw pillows.
The natural wood nightstands and bench add a grounding element to the space, while the brass accents add a touch of glamour.
Style a Navy Bedroom with Terracotta Decor Accents
Navy walls, a navy bedspread, and navy nightstands make for a dramatic bedroom, but adding in terracotta decor accents and a rug bring a nice pop of color and warmth to the space.
The terracotta color is a little more on the pink side, but it still looks great with navy.
Pro tip: When using navy as the main color in your bedroom, look for a few different shades of the color to keep the space interesting.
Here, the bedspread is a few shades lighter than the walls, and the rug is a few shades darker.
Use Abstract Art Featuring Navy and Orange Hues
Abstract art can be a great starting point for a bedroom color palette.
This stunning piece brings in just the right amount of navy and orange to make a statement without overwhelming the room.
The navy and white bedding is a simple way to bring in the bold hues without going overboard. Then, the color is repeated in the area rug and the throw pillow on the bench.
Add a Bold Orange Area Rug Over Dark Flooring
If you have dark wood floors, add an orange area rug to bring in a pop of color that contrasts beautifully with the flooring.
We love how the bold rug in this bedroom designed by Heidi Caillier plays off the more muted burnt orange hues in the bedding and window treatments.
To add even more depth to your space, go for a navy upholstered bed frame and layer in blue and white bedding.
Incorporate Brass and Gold Details for a Luxe Look
If you’re going for a more luxe look, incorporate brass and gold accents.
This bedroom designed by Emily Henderson is a great example of how to do it in a way that feels cohesive and not overdone.
The gold sconces, hardware, and side tables all complement the navy and orange color scheme.
The white walls and bedding keep the space feeling bright and open.
Balance the Palette with Crisp White Trim
If you’re going for a bold look, use white paint to balance out the bold color palette.
The white trim in this bedroom designed by Kate Lester Interiors creates a clean line that helps to ground the space and keep the bold colors from feeling overwhelming.
The white trim is carried through to the textiles, including the bedding and curtain, to create a cohesive look.
Create Drama with Moody Navy Walls and Soft Orange Lighting
With a navy and orange color scheme, you can expect to see a lot of bold, high-contrast spaces.
But, if you prefer a more subdued take on the look, try softening the lighting in the room. This bedroom by design firm 2to5 Design is a masterclass in moody, cozy lighting.
To get the look, paint your walls and ceiling a deep navy and add a soft orange pendant light. Then, continue the warm, moody theme with a few more light fixtures in the same hue.
Mix Patterns Like Stripes and Florals in Coordinated Shades
This stunning bedroom designed by Emily Henderson is the perfect example of how to mix patterns in coordinated colors.
The navy and orange color scheme is carried out in the bedding, area rug, and nightstand decor.
The patterns on the bedding and area rug are both large and bold, but they work well together because they are in the same colors and the rest of the room is fairly neutral.
The smaller patterns on the pillows and nightstand decor add some whimsy to the room without being too busy.
Choose Velvet Fabrics for a Rich
Velvet is a staple in any chic bedroom, but it’s especially fitting in a navy and orange color scheme.
The rich, luxurious texture and the way it reflects light is a perfect match for these bold, saturated colors.
If you’re feeling bold, mix navy and orange velvet pillows or a throw blanket on the bed. Or, if you want to play it safe, start with a velvet bench at the foot of the bed.
Cozy Feel
This bedroom by Black Lacquer Design is all about that cozy feel.
The navy and orange color scheme is so inviting, and the mix of textures in this space makes it feel extra snuggly.
Faux fur on the bench, a chunky knit throw, and a plush area rug are the perfect finishing touches to this room.
Add Wooden Furniture to Warm Up the Bold Colors
The navy and orange color palette in this bedroom by Kresswell Interiors is balanced by the natural wood tones of the nightstands, bench, and picture frames.
The wood also gives the space a traditional, comforting feel.
The orange throw blanket and navy pillows are the perfect pop of color against the white and beige bedding.
The beige and navy rug also ties the color scheme together.
Try Navy Curtains with Subtle Orange Details
For a more subtle take on the navy and orange color scheme, try adding navy curtains to your bedroom and accent them with small pops of orange.
In this bedroom designed by Emily Henderson, the navy curtains are accented with a small band of orange fabric along the bottom.
The orange color is then repeated in the throw pillows on the bed, and the rest of the room is kept neutral.
Even the artwork on the wall is framed in white, letting the bold color combo take center stage.
Design a Modern Minimalist Navy and Orange Space
If you love the idea of a navy and orange bedroom but want to keep things super simple, take a page from this modern minimalist space.
A bold navy accent wall creates the perfect backdrop for a simple bed and side tables.
The orange bedding and throw pillows add just the right amount of color to make a statement without overwhelming the space.
A large area rug with a navy, orange, and cream geometric pattern ties the whole room together and adds an extra layer of warmth.
Use Geometric Prints for a Contemporary Edge
If you’re a fan of contemporary style, you’ll love how this modern bedroom uses navy and orange.
The bold colors are balanced with plenty of white space, and a mix of geometric prints adds visual interest.
From the hexagon headboard to the diamond print on the pillows, the room’s patterns play a big role in the room’s overall style.
The key to mixing patterns is to make sure they’re in the same color palette and to vary the size of the prints.
Add Burnt Orange Accent Chairs for a Stylish Touch
You don’t have to go all-in with navy and orange to make a big impact.
In this bedroom by Studio McGee, two burnt orange accent chairs are the perfect pop of color in an otherwise neutral space.
The subtle color palette is continued with a patterned area rug and a pair of abstract prints on the wall.
A navy throw pillow on the bed ties the room together.
Create a Gallery Wall with Blue and Copper Tones
This bedroom from @sarahshermansamuel is a masterclass in how to create a gallery wall that feels cohesive and not too busy.
The key is to make sure you have a few large statement pieces that you can then build the rest of the wall around.
Here, the oversized mirror and the large black and white photo are the focal points of the gallery wall, and the smaller pieces work as accents.
The copper tones in the gallery wall are then pulled into the room with the throw pillows and the cozy throw blanket.
Incorporate Layered Lighting to Soften the Contrast
If you love the idea of a navy and orange bedroom but are afraid the color scheme will look too harsh, consider incorporating layered lighting.
This bedroom designed by Emily Henderson is a masterclass in how to do it.
The soft, ambient light from the floor lamp on the left side of the bed helps to soften the contrast between the dark, moody navy walls and the bold, bright orange bedding.
Go Boho with Navy Walls and Rust-Toned Textiles
If you’re not afraid to go bold, consider a deep navy wall color.
This bedroom proves that a dark hue can make the space feel extra cozy, and the orange and rust color palette is a perfect complement.
Here, the bed is adorned with a mix of orange, rust, and blush pillows, and the shaggy area rug adds a fun texture.
The modern nightstands and brass sconces are a perfect finishing touch, and the houseplant adds a pop of color and a little life to the space.
Style a Small Bedroom with Muted Navy and Soft Peach
If you’re working with a small bedroom, you may be hesitant to paint a dark accent wall.
But as this cozy bedroom design by Brittany Chinaglia shows, it can actually make the space feel more intimate.
By painting the wall behind the bed and the window trim the same color, it creates a cohesive look that makes the room feel larger.
The soft peach and muted navy colors in the bedding and the rug bring the design together and make the room feel warm and welcoming.
Finish with Cozy Throws and Textured Cushions
The easiest way to make a bedroom feel more inviting is to add layers.
This bedroom designed by Emily Henderson features a navy and orange color palette that’s balanced with a white bed frame, bedding, and walls.
The finishing touches are what make this room feel so cozy. The plush throw, chunky knit blanket, and throw pillows add texture and warmth to the space.
Conclusion
Navy and orange bedroom decor can be used in a variety of styles.
From a more bohemian look to a traditional or modern look, the two colors can be a great base for your bedroom.
