Turquoise started trending in 2010 as Pantones Color of the Year and still has a legion of fans. Turquoise has always seemed deep and mysterious to me.....much like the sea I guess. But at the same time it is almost playful and can make any room seem lively and happy. Because it has both warm and cool undertones, turquoise can work with just about every other color. It looks great on it’s own or paired with other brights. Decorating with turquoise can be vibrant, unique, tranquil or radiant. You can decorate with turquoise in classic and traditional areas or modern-day, contemporary rooms. And there are so many lovely shades and intensities to choose from ranging from the softer aquamarine, duck egg side to the deeper more powerful shades.
This blog post will be focusing on the vibrant side of turquoise and whether you choose to totally saturate your interior or only accent one wall, true turquoise is a real attention getter so be sure to exercise caution.

Turquoise has a fresh and energetic quality that definitely says welcome.
I love the way turquoise suggests old world antiquity as well as a fresh modern approach to decorating.
Turquoise trellis design wallpaper makes a great statement in this lovely living room. The carpet looks like an extension of the outside aquatic view.
This is just quirky enough for me to like!!! Using a bright and bold color with elegance is all about balance. Try and repeat turquoise in several places so as to achieve a sense of balance.

Like many vibrant colors, turquoise is most often used on an accent wall or in other similar ways like the interior of display cabinets.
Yellow and turquoise rooms usually have a sense of calm about them.

Sometime one accent wall is all you need. The fisherman's light is the perfect touch.

Turquoise and coral are colors that are frequently used together in jewelry. This combination also is very complimentary when used in home decor.

Here an interesting pattern is used above the turquoise molding. You can try this with the space above or below your chair railing.
