How to Work With Turquoise

The color turquoise, named for the gemstone is considered soothing and is used in some mental health facilities to create a calm atmosphere. 

Turquoise is not light blue, it is not teal (although it is a close cousin) and it is not aqua – it’s a mixture of light blue and green.
It works with many different blues, including navy, and it is positively lovely with red. Its cooler form is all over mid-century modern design as well. 
Pair turquoise with a bright or warm white and you get instant beach. Put it with gold for immediate glamour.

For being such a vibrant, standout color, turquoise is amazingly versatile and comes in a nearly infinite range of tones and hues. No matter which version you choose, turquoise is cheerful. It is the ultimate pick-me-up color.

Turquoise on the wall

Like many vibrant colors, turquoise is most often used on an accent wall. It adds so much energy and light to this neutral kitchen and dining room.

Turquoise doesn’t have to be paired with neutrals. It adds pop and dimension next to these dark coral walls as well.

A bluer, paler turquoise works in a full room and makes a colorful backdrop for black and white. And doesn’t it look great with that hot pink, too?

Turquoise gets along with its blue and green brothers. This hallway really brings the family together.

Turquoise in the bathroom

This is about as enthusiastic a use of turquoise as I’ve ever seen. It’s somehow enlivening and calming all at once, like taking a cold plunge after a sauna.

Turquoise and gold are wonderful together (think jewellery). This wallpaper is so glamorous in this tiny space.

If the desk were natural wood, this might look like a nondescript hotel room. But with the touch of turquoise, it looks like a fun, elegant and personal space.

Turquoise outside

A turquoise door looks so beautiful in a tropical setting, but it can work beautifully in a any type of place or setting as well.
