Incorporating Turquoise Into Your Home

by

Annette Tatum

Even as summer comes to a close I am always reminded and inspired by the glistening combination of sun and water when I am out in our pool room.

Adding wallpaper to a room immediately creates an infusion of color and design.

This fun wallpaper I chose for the pool room enabled me to bring in the rich color of aqua water and turquoise sky.

I also love to incorporate hints of luscious blues around the room – like this small shell collection that adds a dreamy touch of resort living.

Shells, flip-flops, and bright turquoise colored towels are all great accessories to add to a room.

Our back yard fun house is adorned with accents like these.

Bold sage and creme stripes are great colors that compliment any shade of blue, especially turquoise.

If decorating an outdoor living space - fabrics like the print on this sofa will fade naturally with the suns rays.

fear not, a little "vintage" like appeal looks great against the textiles in this room.

Personalizing a space by adding a collection of things you love is always important.

Our eclectic mix of china and glassware is a perfect way to harmonize your rooms aesthetic during teatime.

Floral plates with scrolled edges, napkins and tablecloths with one of a kind blue tinted glasses all add charm to a living space. So don’t be afraid to include and mix in other strong colors and styles.

Whether inside or out, this special color gives off the idea of open air serene living, bringing the outdoors in –

which is what this room is all about.

Scattering plenty of blue shades around a room is the best way to gradually add that favorite color (Turquoise!)

you’ve been dying to try out in your home.
