You bought a house and are choosing the main tone for itdesign? Would you like to try fashionable turquoise, but don’t know how to use it? In our article, you will find tips on using this color and look at a real example of its use. Let’s imagine a situation. You have recently purchased your own house or apartment and are choosing the main tone for decorating the walls and the interior as a whole, you want something fashionable and interesting or just some changes in the house where you have been living for a long time. We recommend paying attention to the turquoise color. It is quite capricious in use, but using the example of this article, you can see how you can avoid all the pitfalls associated with the implementation of “turquoise projects”.
As an example, we have chosen the projectAmerican designer Eileen Marcuvitz Plum Interiors. The house is designed for a young family with a child and is replete with all shades of turquoise, from a delicate mint shade to an almost emerald blue. There is simply no better example to illustrate our recommendations.
Blue and green equal turquoise
In keeping with the turquoise color palettethe tone is a bright combination of two primary colors - deep blue and neutral green. The color does not "cut" the eye and is well perceived at the level of visual processes of the human body. Turquoise is pleasant to look at. It calms and gives energy. First, we will consider the living room of the house.
The room is large and bright, goodzoned, very cozy. The decor is dominated by geometric motifs, but without excessively sharp angles. The central place is occupied by a comfortable sofa with soft pillows. In such a living room it is pleasant to receive friends and enjoy warm evenings with family.
If you have ever been torooms decorated in turquoise tones, then most likely you had the most pleasant impressions of being there. If you can remember what you felt, most likely it was peace and a sense of security. There is nothing surprising in this, because the turquoise shade is very favorable for home decoration. When decorating the living room, Eileen clearly emphasized that the family is young, and that this is the central room of the house, which means that people spend quite a lot of time in it.
Dining room
The dining room of the house is no less bright.This room emphasizes understated classics. The color scheme is discreet, based on comfort. The room is conducive to open, sincere communication over a delicious dinner with family members and guests of the house.
It is a pleasure to host dinner parties in such a dining room. There is no total turquoise here, only small bright accents in the decoration of the chairs speak of the extraordinary taste of the owners.
The turquoise shade as a leitmotif of the design can also be judged by the bright chairs at the window table and the windows themselves, painted in a soft blue with a slight greenish tint.
Eileen suggested another dining room option.rooms. It is more restrained and a little distanced from the overall design of the house. It is made in ochre-coffee tones. But, in our opinion, this solution can be considered an alternative. And it would be chosen by owners who are a little afraid of "overdoing it" with bold turquoise.
Fashionable bedroom
The fashion for turquoise appeared relatively recently.But this color very quickly asserted its right to dominance in interiors, especially in the design of interior rooms of the house, such as bedrooms and boudoirs. Everything is quite logical. Interior rooms of the house are the holy of holies of the home, the center of the hearth, which housewives usually try to design in accordance with their personal stylistic impulses and perception of individual comfort.
In our case, Eileen emphasized the barelytangible visualization of turquoise shade and, of course, pastel. Shades that help eliminate negative emotions and fatigue. At the same time, preserving the spirit of the classic, slightly bourgeois fashion of colonial America.
The bathroom as the second main room of the house
The bathroom is the beginning of every member's dayfamily. It is literally designed to accumulate positive energy in order to give it to the residents of the house. The turquoise shade in the bathroom design is the best fit for this mission. In addition, due to its naturalness, it combines perfectly with almost all colors of the palette and looks advantageous in any interior style.
In our case, the designer chose a muted color.turquoise shade combined with white color. It turned out luxurious. But without kitsch and excesses. Everything is very moderate. Note that the walls of the bathroom have a slightly green-blue shade, which harmonizes wonderfully with the marble floor with splashes of light cocoa color.
Room for a baby
The children's room at home is done on the border of neutral shades. There is very little turquoise. Perhaps so that the baby can choose his favorite color over time.
