Navy Blue Wallpaper: Deep, Smart & Made in Your Shade
The Sophisticate of the Blue Family
If blue is the most loved colour, navy is its most sophisticated. Deep, rich and quietly confident, navy has the depth of black with none of the harshness — a colour that feels smart, considered and grown-up in any room. It's the shade that makes a design glow, that turns a wall into a statement, and that brings a settled, tailored elegance wherever it's used. Navy is a colour that never tries too hard, and never dates.
At Claret & Key, navy is yours to make exactly right. Because every design is printed to order, you choose the precise depth of navy you want, and any of our designs can be made in it. Made especially for you in our Cheshire studio.
Why navy works so well
Navy's magic is its depth. As a rich, dark ground, it makes the detail of a design — a floral, a bird, a botanical — really sing, glowing under lamplight and drawing the eye. Yet it's endlessly liveable: navy is practically a neutral, sitting beautifully with almost every other colour, from crisp white to warm brass, soft pink to fresh green. It brings drama and calm in equal measure.
Where navy wallpaper works
Navy suits rooms you want to feel smart and enveloping. In a bedroom, a navy design behind the bed feels luxurious and cocooning. In a living room or study, it brings a settled, handsome depth. A dining room in navy feels elegant and full of occasion, especially by candlelight. And a navy hallway or cloakroom makes a confident, sophisticated first impression. In a smaller room, navy feels intimate rather than cramped.
Choosing your navy
Because we print to order, the exact tone is yours — a true, classic navy, a softer ink, or a deep, near-black midnight. Every design comes in three finishes: Traditional (150gsm, super-matte), Heavy-Grade (300gsm) and Removable peel-and-stick (180gsm), all printed on FSC-approved, PVC- and VOC-free paper.
Navy transforms under lamplight, so order a sample and see your shade by day and by evening before you commit.

I love how everything turned out and the price point was great. It was a bit challenging to piece together. Being from the USA, it was kind of a challenge to convert all the measurements to figure out how many rolls I needed and then where to cut the rolls to line up the images based on the design repetition. Luckily, I had plenty of wallpaper to work with on the roll.
Absolutely beautiful design and texture. Got the heavy duty wallpaper and put it up without any previous wallpaper experience and it went up very easily and beautifully. Definitely recommend.
Extremely helpful and supportive when I needed advice on measurements, with fast delivery too. The quality of the wallpaper is excellent, and I’m really pleased with the overall service. Highly recommended!
Gorgeous wallpaper, but the measuring option on the website left us short by 1 roll. Had to order another one but when it came the colour match was perfect. Thankfully I wasn’t paying for a decorator, otherwise would have been disappointed in having to pay for them to return. Otherwise great quality wallpaper and design compared to other similar products available.
First purchase from claret and key and truly impressed. Beautiful quality wallpaper. Pretty yet not too fussy. Easy to hang, cut and match. Would work in any room
Good tracking and delivery service too.
Definitely recommend and would reuse for future projects.
Everything went really good. Apart from the quality of the wallpaper which is fantastic, the staff were exemplary in their communications, friendliness and professionalism. They really did go the extra mile to help me.
A great experience all round.
Thank you.

Lovely pattern and paper quality.
However, I wish that I had paid more attention to the roll width measurement.
For some strange reason your paper is narrower than a standard roll. This caused me a great deal of problems when papering my lobby, a small area but that made it more difficult because I was left with a narrow space to fill on 3 walls with a very long drop.
Although I love the paper I probably wouldn't use it again just for this reason.
Why you would produce paper not of a standard width is for you to know and me to wonder but it has made my small project very difficult.
Used this paper to make a dark study cosier. Absolutely loved the colour - the background is a perfect match to our existing panelling painted in Farrow and Ball Old White. First time using paste the wall and it was a revelation so easy and much less mess. Quality of the paper is great but noted the rolls are slightly narrower than most wallpapers. Loved the pattern match which meant little waste what we had left we used to recover some old box files which was easy. I thoroughly recommend.
Great quality wallpaper! The print is beautiful, the wallpaper is thick, and fairly easy to install. Our small area took about an hour and a half because we had a lot of of awkward cuts.
Will definitely be using this brand again!
The paper was just hung and we are thrilled.
The quality of the paper, ease of working with it, (per the paper hangers), your customer service, all were exceptional. We will be ordering again. Thank you!!
Fabulous wallpaper and excellent customer service. This Bronte wallpaper has given my kitchen a new lease of life. Will definitely buy from here again.
