These kitchen colour ideas feature tips from our expert designers, as well as real-home examples that show how to bring this rich look to life in any room size, shape, and layout.

1. Move towards matt

Let this rich shade stand out by opting for a muted matt finish, which reduces visual distractions to place greater emphasis on the navy tone.

2. Take on texture

Add depth to a navy palette with grain-effect door-fronts, which echo the natural patterns of timber for a look that is full of character.

3. Cut out clutter

Select an integrated handle design for a small navy kitchen idea, just like @lifeofa.bungalow, which prevents this bold hue dominating a room.

4. Pick a pared-back look

Easily refresh an indigo scheme by going for simple, slab fronts, which can be customised with handgrips to match changing trends and tastes.

5. Draw on the past

Pick classic, framed door-fronts in a navy shade, just like @us_by_square_inch, for a contemporary take on shaker design that will stand the test of time.

6. Create clean lines

Prevent a navy theme from overpowering an interior by pairing it with a handleless design, which offers a streamlined surface that is easy on the eye.

7. Channel bespoke style

Take inspiration from handcrafted homes with an in-frame design, which features an additional border around the door to emphasise the luxe colour scheme.

8. Add ornate details

Be inspired by @hollytaylor_kitchendesigner's home with our Elmbridge style, completed with a beaded detail and stately shade for an antique appeal.

9. Bring in blue

Choose a navy island, like @edwardian_home_journal, for a simple alternative to an all-blue look. This approach also forms an on-trend, two-tone design.

10. Soften the scheme

Break up bold banks of cupboards with glass doors, which add light to a navy hue and can also display favourite items for a pop of personality.
