Color Crush: A Pop of Turquoise
Use blue-green for happy accents and soothing walls in all types of homes
Turquoise is the one accent color that I consistently crush on. I like its soft, watery shades as much as the bright and bold ones. It's a color you often find in cottage style and shabby-chic spaces, but turquoise is also at home in any modern or global-inspired room. Sometimes the color feels vintage while other times it looks plucked from somewhere in the Far East. Here are a few favorite displays of the color turquoise.
The chandelier is the stand-out piece in this dining space. The light fixture has a Moroccan vibe and the turquoise hue of the glass makes it a true gem.

This shade of turquoise feels perfect for a beach cottage retreat. It may be tricky to find furniture in this shade, but painting a small cabinet like this is a simple DIY project.
Yes, stainless steel is the most popular choice for appliances. Thankfully, some people chart their own courses so that every kitchen doesn't look the same. I have to say, I think the turquoise oven is pretty rad.
Saved to my inspiration file: Paint your door turquoise. It's so much more fun than basic white.
