The one thing you should keep in mind while using navy blue in your kitchens is that it’s an accent color. This means you have to use it less than the primary color scheme. Therefore, you can only feature it on your kitchen cabinets if they take up relatively less real estate. For example, the kitchen in this image only has lower cabinets, so the navy blue of their finish takes up less visual space than the white and greys that make up the primary colour scheme.

4. Shelf inserts
