The colour navy blue is perennially chic and in style. Here are our favourite items to add a navy blue flavour to your garden décor.
SEATING
Starting big, the doyennes of luxury outdoor furniture, Heveningham. Their dining tables, chairs and loungers are all made in England, and can be found in the gardens of The Connaught, Claridges and Lime Wood, as well as homes across the world.
For a more lightweight outdoor seating choice, we love the classic French bistro chairs made by Maison Louis Drucker. The brand was founded in Paris in 1885, and is still going strong today with its cult classic designs.
Birdie Fortescue make their own version of the bistro chairs, hand woven in Indonesia.
CUSHIONS
Top your seating with a navy blue cushion from the new range of outdoor fabrics by Fermoie. Made in England from 100% recycled plastic bottles, these outdoor cushions are water-repellent and resistant to mould and mildew for easy care and a long life.
PARASOLS
When the sun really starts to warm up, relax under a navy blue Plia Parasol. Choosing a beautiful fabric on your parasol, means it will add style to your garden whether up or down.
POOL ACCESSORIES
The ultimate pool accessory is here. Forget plastic inflatables, the premium rings and lilos from Oliver James are covered in marine upholstery fabric, making them soft, stylish and durable.
TABLECLOTH
Dress your table with a navy blue tablecloth from Maison Flaneur. A simple scalloped edge gives an understated playful touch.
NAPKINS
We love these linen napkins from Daylesford Organic. They're made in Portugal from organic fibres, and the navy blue colour means you won’t need to worry about stains.
WATER GLASSES
Coloured water glasses scream summer through and through for me. These dark blue Picardie glasses by Duralex are just made for ice, water and a slice of lemon, served outside on a summers day.
WATER JUG
Every outdoor table needs a water jug, and this cobalt version by Feldspar is what we’re coveting this summer. Made from fine bone china, in Devon, with a dash of eccentricity, as all English interiors (and exteriors) should have.
OUTDOOR LAMP
Dress your outdoor table with a portable lamp, and you’ll instantly elevate your meal from picnic to pretty celebration. This cordless lamp from Mrs Alice can run for 20 hours on one charge.
OUTDOOR RUG
Outdoor rugs are quite a recent phenomenon, and the ones made by Jennifer Manners are the best out there. This navy blue checkered rug is made from recycled water bottles, meaning it is bleach-cleanable, moisture-resistant and built to withstand the hard-wear of daily life.
Want to know our favourite way to work with navy blue in the garden? Layer different patterns, textures and styles, for a look that has one element of consistency, but without being too forced.
If you've spotted a navy blue outdoor fabric you love, you can easily have it made into cushions, placemats, a tablecloth or a bespoke parasol, for a truly unique garden.
