Turquoise!



Turquoise is hot in interiors, this not quite blue not quite green tone really brings a visual sense of energy to a room. Getting the right shade is a huge start, remember the walls in the sex in the city movie, now that was the perfect turquoise. When you use such a strong tone in a room, you need to temper it with clean white though the red sofa here works just fine.




Turquoise can be tamed by adding a rustic flavor to the space, the brown log wall adds a soothing though extreme contrast to the initial feel of this room. The bright turquoise deer head accent adds a level of tongue in cheek to this space, determined to not be taken too seriously.



Turquoise with greens... classically soothing when mixed together in pale tones though with the bold approach above, what you get is energy. The bright greens bounce your eye around the room but soon settle in on the violet sofa and charcoal gray. This artful approach uses not only colors that are next to each other on the color wheel but also compliments. Thus creating all of the stunning visual activity.
