What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Bay Blue Glazed Handcrafted 4x12 Tile itself, not from its name.
We measured this tile's own swatch at #253C4A — deep and cool. The closest color we hold pairing data for is Navy, so that is what the recommendations below are built from. It sits close to neutral, which means it will take direction from the cabinets rather than fight them.
Cabinets
- Pure White — the proven two-tone: white perimeter, navy island. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic
Hardware
- Warm Brass / Satin Gold — navy + brass is the modern classic power couple. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic
Countertop
- White Veined (Marble-Look) — white top lightens the dark base. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic
Flooring
- Natural / White Oak — wood floor keeps navy from going cold. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes solid
Island
- Mustard Gold — A mustard island against navy perimeter cabinets is the blue-and-gold complement done at furniture scale, warm where you gather and calm at the walls.. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes current
Steer away from
- Espresso — two heavy darks with clashing undertones — the room sinks
