I love this color. I have an (infinity)love with the tropical colors and water. I painted my kitchen walls with if which brought out the natural wood cabinets. I have white counter tops (soon to be natural butcher block) and white appliances. All the trim and ceilings are a bright white the floor is a sand color so it really is bright, fresh and clean color scheme. My dark table stands out as well because of the new paint color. I did however leave one wall a dry sand color and it has a poem painted onto it in a wet sand color so it appears as if it was wrote in sand with the water washing upon it. I have to say I have always like blue but this is probably my new favorite. Now to find a color to paint the living room that will create a wonderful marriage or fusion. I was thinking on the lines of banana yellow or even a palm leaf green. HUMMM My motto is life is to short to have white walls, so step out of the box and be bold every once in a while.

[...] again I found a $39 bargain at Homegoods and decided to add a little more aqua to this space (that Turquoise bug has bitten me!) This is a great way to add some fresh color without going overboard. [...]

I like turquoise in jewelry and clothing. In fact, I think turquoise is a color just about everyone can wear. Some shades are soft; others vibrant and lively. There’s a hue of turquoise to complement every hair color and skin tone.

I don’t think I’d use it in my home. The closest I’ve come is a pale sea foam green for the walls of my guest room. It’s paired with cream and an old Waverly print fabric. The fabric has hunter green roses, in shades from deep to light.

I like earth colors – golds, tans, green, russet, etc.

But some of the rooms I’ve seen using turquoise are so soothing and calming. Yet the color is fresh and uplifting. It is a great color, and Lord knows, we all need some some calm AND uplifting in this economy!!

I have loved turquoise for years, mostly for clothes and jewelry. There are so many variations of the color; it could really add a punch to a room’s decor.

Wow! Go me! I am actually going to be “in” this year! I just added turquoise to my home. When I decided to redo my home this year it took me quite a while to decide which colors to use and I did not decided until the last minute – as in OMW! the painters are going to be here tomorrow morning and I have not made a final decision on my color scheme! I went with colors that appealed to me and did not use inspiration from any source other than a vase I recently purchased and the colors of the water as I drive across the bridge during my commute each day. Totally different from my “normal” color palette, but I really like it a lot. I love the ocean and that is what it reminds me of. Very soothing, yet refreshing.

I bought a sample size can of paint in this color from Lowes last month and thought about using it in my master bedroom but if it’s the new “in” color then I’ll probably pick something else. I don’t want my house to be trendy.
