Although turquoise has been considered a classic basic colour in interior design for quite some time, its darker shades have recently started to become really fashionable. Probably, this trend is not just a coincidence or the result of a marketing campaign by trend makers. According to the psychology of colors, dark turquoise shades combine the calm stability of blue with the optimistic, healing effects of green in a calming balance. In the noisy, rush-paced, visually oversaturated world around us, these calm colors can provide us with mental and spiritual balance in our home.
Rainforest flowers and exotic insects, tropical lagoons and mountainous seas, minerals and shiny peacock feathers evoke us, as turquoise shades on the spectrum between blue and green are often found in nature. To bring all this closer to us, wallpapers with huge leaves, flowers and jungle scenes, which have been popular for years, can be a good solution.
The shades of dark turquoise and green rich, deep, mysterious gemstone, suggestive of warmth, can be applied bravely in any room of the apartment, even on larger surfaces. In good light conditions, up to four walls can be painted in these colors, but with the ceiling you need to be careful to avoid the claustrophobic “box effect”. If the ceiling also gets a dark turquoise color, it is definitely recommended to create a bright floor covering and cleverly placed local lighting.
Whether we amplify the shades of dark turquoise in a bluish or greenish direction, they create an exciting and modern combination of coral, mustard yellow, dark fuchsia and terracotta colors. If there is a color, the perfect material association of which is velvet, then this is dark turquoise. It is true that many people consider the use of velvet in interior design to be an extreme category of adored or hated, but a splendid deep turquoise sofa undeniably represents a luxurious feeling of life.
Turquoise and especially its dark shades make a perfect match with natural wood surfaces. And from metallic accessories, it is worth choosing brass or gold elements next to it.
The repositories of cold coverings are now abundant in all the colors of the rainbow, not to mention the forms and patterns that are finally bravely different from the usual ones. During a renovation, it is worth dreaming big as much as possible and finding the pieces that really please us. What's more, the subway tile, which is considered trite by many, can be put into a new light with a small twist.
Previously, walls painted in darker shades could hardly be seen in children's rooms, then it became an international trend to turn a section of a wall into a giant drawing board with black board paint. In the same way, dark turquoise can appear on a highlighted wall surface, but unlike adults' rooms, it is not worth applying it on every wall, regardless of light conditions, and it is absolutely necessary to spice it up with lots of cheerful, lively accessories.
