Turquoise Profile

Turquoise is a shade of blue with a slight undertone of green, which is why it is sometimes referred to as aqua or aquamarine blue. Blue in general has become increasingly popular in the contemporary home with different shades fighting their own corner. Turquoise, like many other shades of blue is best used to achieve a relaxed environment in bedrooms and bathrooms. In a brighter sense, this colour can also give energy to a space without being overpowering.

Decorating Ideas:

• We love how very fashionable and sophisticated homes have added the element of surprise with a pop of bold, even glossy turquoise to their interiors. You can get this look too by painting a tired looking décor piece with this fun colour. An old mirror can be transformed to add a creative element to formal dining rooms or to brighten up a dull entrance hall.

• In its various shades, turquoise matches well with a whole host of other colours. Try a muted turquoise with olive or dark greens for a sophisticated and slightly masculine look in the living area. With sultry reds, a shot of saturated turquoise can liven up a space and it works really well with an Arts and Crafts inspired décor. Lighter turquoise will love the pairing of a zesty yellow in accents or try coral curtains for a contemporary beach vibe.

• A light turquoise has a quality to it that reminds us of the ocean. This feeling is amplified when we pair the colour with white or even off-white to turn any space into a cool coastal theme. Try this look in the bedroom by adding a splash of turquoise to predominantly white bedding and bringing it more into the picture by painting the back wall in a similar or slightly lighter hue. By having lots of white, you can even add blue curtains to balance the room out.

• Update your bathroom with turquoise mosaic tiles on the floor or as a splash-back for the bath/shower. Due to its relation with the ocean and tranquillity, this is one room in the home that you can’t possibly mess up with bright turquoise!
