Home Remodeling Improvement Aqua Teal Blue Turquoise

75

By GmaGoldie

OK, I admit it, I was raised in an aqua home.  Yes, our dining room, our living room and our kitchen were aqua.  The draperies (of course in aqua) covered not just the windows but also the walls.  The home was comfortable and charming and the glow from the aqua color brings back fond memories even today.

What is great about aqua?  It reminds me of the ocean.  It is natural, it is joyful.  For me I can just envision the dolphins jumping for joy expressly for the delight of this distinctive color blue.

And yes, I have several pieces in aqua or turquoise from matting around my $10 oriental paintings to a chest that I paint in vibrant turqoise.

A business associate of my husband's has an aqua car! And in my last home I had a bathroom that my neighbor's children called the "funky green" bathroom. That was close to 5 years ago. And now, aqua is back with a passion - and what a delightful passion it is!

Journey with me as we explore various color tones from light aqua to deep turquoise and teal in just about every room in the house - including the most envious of all home offices - an outdoor teal office.

Color in the Bathroom In Any Form - Tile Towels and More!

Tile is a major investment and yet in aqua, the color aqua seems to further reflect the depth and brilliance of the ocean.

I once had a fitness client whose personal goal was to swim in every ocean of the world. I could relate but I will settle for having an aqua bathroom once again. Whether you add color with accents such as a shower curtain or towels or simply in the decorations, the color aqua through deep turquoise is always distinctive and yet always inviting.

Small spaces such as a bathroom as especially conducive to this color palette.

The color aqua also works very well in the kitchen - especially for beach front or water front homes.  Add in the classic white and you have a contrast that is sure to please - both males and females.  You see, aqua is an unisex color.  While pink is often associated with female, aqua is the color of the Caribbean.  Combine in crisp white and soft tan and the decor is simply timeless.

Teal, aqua, turquoise reminds me of the beautiful color tones of the sea. Any room, any accent looks gorgeous in teal. It could be ultra modern, it could be classic, or it could be a garden structure turned into a gorgeous outdoor office. Enjoy the color teal - use it literally and celebrate the vibrant color of the sea!

I want that aqua home office - it's so gorgeous! Or a teeny vacation home like that. Anyway, now that aqua is back and popular again, it's easy to find those aqua accents, paints, and fabrics that you love. I love the color paired with white. Voted up for beautiful!

Dolores Monet,

You are right - aqua is back - great return. Oh, a vacation at home - aqua blue reminiscent of the sea! I agree!

You work too much - always thinking of the home office - although the office shown was very cool.

Me - love the aqua blue in a small bathroom - seems to open up the space - Calgon take me away!

Thank you for stopping by.
