Accessories Uttermost Baram Turquoise Vases, S3 20017
Turquoise is a color named after the gemstone. It brings to mind soothing beach waters and the most relaxing bay breeze. This color is considered soothing and is used in a few mental health facilities because it helps create a serene atmosphere.
There are, however, a few colors that are called turquoise but are not actually turquoise. This is not teal, neither is it light blue, it is not aqua, too. Turquoise, simply put, is a mixture of green and light blue. Tints of this color come with infused yellows in different shades. This color can be anywhere from cool to warm, pale to vibrant.
Pairing Turquoise
Turquoise is a best friend to many colors. It effectively complements citrus tones such as lime. It can also work with its cousin color, blue, as well as in different shades including navy blue. Put the navy blue, turquoise and red altogether and will have achieved a Mexican, Caribbean vibe. Add some Native American motifs and art, consider also if you can set up a Mid-Century modern design.
Go ahead and pair turquoise with warm or bright white and that’s an instant beach look for you. Use mustard or amber and what you would evoke is an Old Mexican vibe. Put turquoise with gold and what you would have achieved is instant glamour.
Fall In Love with Turquoise
You can fall in love with turquoise if you are the type that loves sticking his toe in the water. A jaw-dropping turquoise chandelier is a grand way to use this color in your living room or dining room design. You can use olive-colored walls as an equally breathtaking backdrop for this interesting lighting fixture.
You can also paint that old chest that you’ve been keeping in a distressed color. You can then add accent pillows in, guess what – turquoise! This is both an energizing and soothing way to try turquoise in your home.
That Turquoise Wall
Just like other vibrant colors, turquoise can also be painted on an accent wall. This can add energy as well as light to any neutral-colored room. This is especially wonderful inside the dining room or a kitchen.
Turquoise accent wall paired with natural wood as well as warm whites simply spell happiness. If neutrals don’t fascinate you, then add a little dimension to the room by having turquoise painted right next to dark coral walls.

Personalizing with Turquoise
