Going Big & Bold in Navy

If you're following our Pinterest page (wink, wink.. please do!), you've noticed I've been pinning a lot of living room inspiration to our design board. I see dark, bold walls in magazines, but it's a rare find in friends' homes. A lot of people stray away from dark walls because it makes a room look/feel smaller. The trick is to keep most of your big furniture pieces light to help balance out those dark walls (a strong source of light is a plus!).

I think bold navy walls can look really elegant, and it scores high on cozy points, so I'm up for the challenge! Here's my vision for our navy and lime living room makeover:
