In recent years, navy and gold wallpaper has flourished in interior design and has taken pride of place as one of Pinterest’s favorite color schemes. It holds a strong position in the two-color combinations family: black and white, pink and grey and now, navy blue and gold! After all, these two colors have been two peas in a pod for years. The name ‘navy blue’ speaks for itself. This color blue was named ‘navy’ when navy officers began to wear blue uniforms in the mid-1700s. Golden brass buttons were sewn onto the uniforms and, of course, the navy and gold look was born! Maybe not for interior design reasons... but it’s certainly given us a fantastic color combination to enjoy for years to come!
Although the gold on our wallpapers is printed and doesn’t offer a shimmery gold effect, we have some great alternatives to get excited about. Read on to get a taste of what we have in store and how to embrace a sophisticated navy and gold wallpaper look in your home…
Enjoy an Art Deco golden sunrise every morning

If you’re anything like me, you’ll absolutely fall in love with this Art Deco golden sunrise wallpaper. An art movement that began in the ‘20s, Art Deco completely took the world of interior design by storm. Especially in movie star-sprinkled Hollywood. Once installed in your bedroom, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into Carole Lombard’s boudoir and Clark Gable is about to stride through the door!
The true beauty of this Art Deco wallpaper is that it’s a celebration of old meets new. The iconic ‘sunrise’ feature is quintessentially Art Deco whilst the realistic clouds are a modern addition. This adds a fresh, new aspect to this beloved style - something the designers at SpaceFrog Designs are particularly good at doing.
Create the ultimate on-trend home with a navy and gold marble wallpaper

If Art Deco reminds you of your granny’s house and you’re more into the on-trend marble style, look at this mesmerizing blue swirl mural. You may not have noticed, but this beautiful navy gold wallpaper isn’t actually a marble-effect wallpaper. In fact, it's a stunning watercolor design!
Our fantastic marble wallpapers are absolutely stunning. Yet, unlike this blue swirl wallpaper, natural marbles don’t offer a navy and gold option. So, we’ve basically cheated and found a watercolor design that gives a perfect navy blue and gold marble effect (we won’t tell if you don’t). The subtle gold hints threading through this hypnotic mural are tasteful and not overwhelming. Imagine pairing this stunning watercolor wallpaper with gold décor lamps and tealight holders - gorgeous!

For whatever reason, this beautiful cheetah wallpaper, designed by Andrea Haase, is a great way to embrace a navy and gold inspired color scheme with a tropical twist!

The bathroom isn't just a practical space. It's where many of us like to get some time alone and unwind in beautifully scented bath bubbles. So why not invite a navy and gold wallpaper in your washroom to add a touch of decadence into the space? One of our most popular navy wallpapers, this Underwater Dream VI has been used in customers bathrooms, dining rooms, restaurants and more! Another SpaceFrog Designs creation, this stylish octopus wallpaper has a shade of navy in it which could also be perceived as teal.
A navy and gold wallpaper to ruffle your feathers with excitement
Mural in photo: Fantastic Peacock Kings
Calling out to all vintage lovers! If you love the idea of navy and gold wallpaper but want to stay away from a sleek modern look, a floral and animal-inspired mural is for you. This de-tailed Fantastic Peacock Kings wallpaper designed by Andrea Haase is a great combination of vintage plants and animal drawings. It's inspired by nature and reminiscent of chinoiserie wallpaper. This stunning peacock mural is a bold navy wallpaper. It will create the perfect feature wall for your master bedroom or lounge.
Travel to distant lands with navy, ochre and burnt orange tones
Mural in photo: Fuji No Yukei
This oriental Fuji No Yukei wallpaper is an alternative look to navy and gold wallpaper. Instead of golden hues, this Fuji mural embraces ochre and burnt orange: two colors that are going to be big in 2020. Just as gold does, these warm colors provide the contrast needed to lighten up dark navy tones. In turn, they help to avoid darkening a room and making it seem cramp.
This relaxing oriental wallpaper would look ideal with gold or bronze décor. These carefully chosen room accessories will reflect the smattering of orange tones and make the colors flow throughout the room.

If you are looking for a monkey wallpaper for your navy and gold room, then you've swung into the right place! This gorgeous Blue Monkey Puzzle designed by Julia Fonnereau is not for the faint-hearted and would be the perfect navy and gold wallpaper for a maximalist's home.

Artistic and calming navy and gold wallpaper for the bedroom
Mural in photo: Blue Mist
One of our designers Elisabeth Fredriksson has a fantastic range of on-trend, Scandi-raw wallpapers. They celebrate abstract art as well as the very popular concrete-industrial vibe. This raw Blue Mist wall mural is a perfect example of navy and gold wallpaper at its best!
As mentioned earlier, navy tones can be overwhelmingly dark. It takes skill to paint a navy wall and not darken up a room. Fredriksson has cleverly combined dark navy and gold shades with a light grey backdrop. This helps to achieve the much-desired navy gold look without casting a room into darkness. Find tasteful gold décor to stress the misty, metallic gold used in the mural. Choose tasteful golden lamps, cushions or even a gold blanket to place at the bottom of your bed. Why not? Use this stylish navy and gold wallpaper as a backdrop for your bedhead and your room will be a blissful yet trendy haven…

This well-designed living room is a perfect example of introducing gold ornaments into your home. These golden accessories give a subtle nod to the entire navy and gold theme. But beware! Don’t overdo that gold! There’s a fine line between classy gold accessories and a tacky over-bombardment of them: more Del Boy and Rodney rather than Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's!
