Variety of turquoise colors
We perceive turquoise as a mixture of blue and yellow. Nature has given us a rich palette of shades that we can describe with this word. There are many of them - from light green with a minimal amount of blue to natural cyan. In the "family of turquoise" sky blue, dark azure, blue-green, aquamarine, turquoise pearls. Any of them is suitable for a bedroom, in collaboration with other shades. Delicate colors can be combined with the same calm tones, or used as a background for brighter strokes. Juicy - soften with neutral shades, as oversaturation with intense colors is tiring and annoying. The versatility of turquoise is that it is “on a friendly footing” with virtually all colors. The reason lies in the fact that this color itself is not initially pure. It is the play of shades that allows him to "get along" with a variety of colors.
Incorporating turquoise into the interior: guidelines and examples
The versatility of shades of turquoise color allows them to decorate any room - from the kitchen to the bathroom. Depending on the type of room, the rules for using turquoise in decoration may vary. Typically, designers are guided by the following motto: "Turquoise loves harmony", while they are advised to "spy" beautiful color combinations from nature itself.
Living room
The central room in the house may well be decorated with rich shades of turquoise - this will give it a "royal" look
It is only important to choose the right companion colors so that the overall look is harmonious. White, blue, natural wood colors are well suited for the living room.
Turquoise is successfully combined with brickwork, cork coverings, light marble.
If the walls are covered with wallpaper, it is better if they have a large ornament. Light gray or beige walls with turquoise and yellow patterns are a good option. The ensemble will be complemented by turquoise curtains, a blanket and pillows on the sofa. The living room also looks interesting, in which one wall is turquoise, and the rest are light or yellow, green
You can add a couple of brown accents, it is only important that their amount is moderate (up to 10-15%)
Bedroom
A bedroom can be turned into a "branch" of a seaside resort: all you need to do is add a few turquoise accents or use light aqua wallpaper. Wall covering can be plain or with unobtrusive ornamentation. The pattern is gray-green, yellow, light orange, dark blue - optional.
A good option is to use snow-white curtains, which will revive the overall turquoise picture and remind you of sea foam. From fabrics, light materials are best suited: silk, linen, cotton. White picture frames, panels, light furniture, figurines look great on the turquoise background of the walls.
Kitchen
It is permissible to use bright, even flashy shades in the kitchen.
It is important that there is enough light here, then the dark turquoise color will not cause a visual decrease in the room. Using this shade, you can decorate a kitchen apron, a set, curtains, blinds, appliances, a dining group (of course, not all at once)
It is advisable to make the ceiling and walls light, only a pale turquoise tone is allowed. For decoration, it is worth using wallpaper or textured plaster. For a change, shades of brown, yellow or green are added to the interior.
Children
Turquoise is a versatile color suitable for girls and boys. The little princess will love the combination with the lilac color, the young gentleman - the combination with the green. A duet with one of these colors is suitable for any room:
- cream;
- White;
- creamy;
- beige;
- caramel;
- champagne color.
It is better not to use the dark turquoise palette, but to focus on soft, delicate shades. Blue-green tones in the interior will help relieve stress, calm the child.
Bathroom
The sea in the bathroom is a great idea. Since it is rarely spacious here, you should not use too dark tones of turquoise. The ideal option is to choose light, azure shades that are in harmony with the white background. The tiles can be gray, beige, light brown, while the color of turquoise is given to textiles, mirror frames, bath curtains, laundry basket.
Hallway / corridor
This room creates the first impression of a house, an apartment, so more attention should be paid to its design. An excellent solution for the corridor will be the use of cheerful turquoise. If the size of the hallway is small, use light shades of aquamarine in combination with white or beige details.
Choosing textiles and decor
Window decoration depends on the amount of natural light in the turquoise bedroom
In case of insufficient sunlight, it is advised to pay attention to light textiles in bright colors or curtains with unobtrusive small patterns. Thus, a positive mood can be added to the interior of the bedroom, and its appearance can be changed without resorting to major repairs.
The ideal option is a white curtain ensemble against a background of turquoise walls. According to the texture, you can pick up long canvases, shortened curtains or models with complex drapery and decor.
For a bedroom in turquoise tones, yellow bedspreads, bedding or furniture with light green upholstery are suitable. Both completely contrasting accessories and elements with colored stripes are appropriate. Orange patterns will look great on flowerpots or decorative pillows.
The bed can also be complemented with a blue, light blue blanket or cushions with pillowcases adorned with pink prints. An armchair with a raspberry-colored textile cover will harmoniously fit into the room.
It is possible to fill the room with special charm through photographs and paintings in elegant frames, candles, candlesticks, beautiful boxes, mirrors and large indoor plants. With sufficient space, an electric fireplace is placed in the turquoise bedroom.

Choosing lighting for a turquoise bedroom is no easy task.
The best lighting fixture for turquoise is the sun. It is sunlight that can reveal the natural beauty of this color, emphasize its brightness and airiness. It should be light in the azure room. It is better that the bedroom is located on the well-lit side, and the curtains on the window are light and transparent. If the room suffers from a lack of sunlight, additional lighting is indispensable. It is necessary to carefully consider the scenario of evening and night lighting. But how to choose equipment that does not distort the true color and does not make it too pale and cold. Warm light can drastically change tones, lead to a greenish-yellow range, and cold light can turn delicate shades into pale gray. For artificial lighting, white halogen lamps are recommended. They distort the real color the least.
Decoration: walls, floor, lighting, furniture, decor, textiles
Ceiling
Paint it white or light turquoise. You can use a stretch ceiling of both a simple and a combined design, dividing zones by color - above the bed, you can make the ceiling white, and the rest of it turquoise and mount halogen lamps in it. Give preference to gloss - it will visually add volume to the room.
Stretch ceiling can be divided into color zones
Floor
Use parquet, floorboard, wood-like laminate.Choose a coating in a warm shade (beige, light brown) or use neutral colors - gray, whitish. The floor covering should be matte, as the gloss will add a cool sheen to the ambiance of the room.
Matte laminate flooring adds a warm tone to the bedroom
Lighting
In order for the turquoise to change its hue as little as possible, use halogen lamps. Try to make the most of daylight without decorating windows with blackout curtains.
Daylight is very important for turquoise color, which emphasizes its beauty and airiness.
Under electric lighting, turquoise changes color. And not always for the better - most often the shades are muted, depth and saturation disappear.
Furniture
When choosing furniture, we focus on the main color of the walls.
Walls and furniture upholstery should be in a contrasting color
For light walls we choose furniture with bright upholstery, for dark walls - soft, pastel colors
It is important to keep the color balance, not to oversaturate the room with bright colors. When contrasting two colors - for example, black and bright turquoise, add at least one neutral color
Black and turquoise softens the white
Walls and furniture can be decorated in soothing colors, but the emphasis is on decor and textiles that accentuate the primary colors and give them more softness.
For a bedroom in turquoise color, do not choose bulky furniture. The only exception is the bed.
The wall is decorated in a combination of turquoise and gray, the headboard hardly stands out against its background
If the room allows, it can be large enough
In this case, the headboard should be designed so that it does not attract too much attention - either almost in the color of the walls, or make it light, delicate
Decor
Various decorative items are used to enhance and accentuate the beauty of the base color. As a rule, this is a mirror, panels or photographs in a beautiful silver or gold frame. They should match the color scheme with the metal frame of the chandelier or lamps.
Frames for wall panels, serving table legs, lamp finishing - all fittings are in silver color
The wall can be decorated with a painting with small fragments of turquoise. An excellent decor element is a vase of flowers, a composition of dried flowers, a pot with a plant.
Painting using turquoise color, indoor plant in a pot is a great option for bedroom decor with a tropical flavor
Textile
One of the main components of bedroom decoration is textiles. It can favorably emphasize the main color and give a certain charm to the bedroom. Use natural fabrics of various textures - they will be harmoniously combined with each other.
The bedspread plays a key role in the design of the turquoise bedroom
If the walls are light, use textiles of various shades of turquoise or darker colors. For a bedroom with turquoise walls, use contrasting textiles - white, milky bedspreads, curtains
It is important to maintain the color balance so that the bedroom does not turn into a blurry spot or, conversely, does not become oversaturated and colorful. Focus on the end result you want to get

- light brown;
- dark brown;
- black;
- the whole gamut of beige palette;
- light gray;
The color of the furniture should be selected based on the color of the walls, floor and ceiling. So, for example, if the walls are bright turquoise, then the furniture should be made light and airy, which means that light shades should be used. If the walls are decorated in light colors, then you can choose gray or brown tones for furniture. But you can also use light colors for furniture, and make textiles and decor accents.
Turquoise bedroom decoration
The design of the bedroom in turquoise colors is based on contrasts. A variety of shades of turquoise can be used anywhere, but should immediately be softened with contrasting, warmer or more neutral tones.
When decorating a bedroom in turquoise colors, you need to be extremely careful.
Furniture
Furniture set plays one of the main roles in the design of the turquoise bedroom. It should be kept in a uniform color scheme.

Lighting
It has already been mentioned above that the visual perception of any turquoise shade can change under the influence of light. We cannot change the light of the sun's rays
But the selection of lighting devices, namely lamps for them, should be approached with caution. Today, you can find light bulbs on sale that give lighting in various colors - from snow-white to yellow, imitating natural sunlight.
Give preference to the first type. White lighting will accentuate the beauty of turquoise tones and make them shine. Under the influence of yellow light, the color of turquoise will visually change, acquiring a yellowish or greenish tint.

Textiles and decorative elements
Incorrectly selected textiles can ruin the appearance of even the most spectacular interior. Especially this moment concerns the turquoise bedroom. Textiles can act as a harmonious addition to the overall interior design, and as a bright accent. The main thing is to remember the contrast rule, which was already mentioned above. So, if the walls of the bedroom have a rich turquoise color, then the curtains on the windows and other textiles should soften it with neutral tones or their combination with lighter shades of turquoise, and vice versa. Decorative pillows, lace napkins, bedside rugs, blankets and other similar decorative elements can act as bright accents.
Video: DIY bedroom decor elements in turquoise colors
A bedroom in turquoise tones is one of the latest fashion trends that is increasingly popular with modern designers and ordinary people.By listening to the rules and advice given above, you can independently create and decorate the interior of a turquoise bedroom, which will not only satisfy all your mental and practical needs, but will also delight any person who comes here.
The best combinations
When choosing an interior design, you need to take into account general recommendations for combining colors. Turquoise in the bedroom sets the general background that emphasizes or “softens” (suppresses) other shades.
White
White goes well with any colors. But in the bedroom in which this shade is present, in addition to turquoise, it is recommended to use other colors. The latter can be used to create accents and highlight individual areas.
Black
The bedroom, finished in black and turquoise, has a presentable and somewhat defiant appearance. It is recommended to use the first shade in dosage. For such an interior, it is better to purchase black pillows, bedding, furniture. At the same time, objects painted in light (white, beige) colors should be placed in the bedroom.
Chocolate or brown
Chocolate (brown) is often chosen as the main color, and the rest only complement the interior of the bedroom. Both colors create a presentable appearance. But, unlike black, they do not look so strict.
Beige
Beige provides a calm and soothing effect. The interior, which combines both shades, is very delicate and more suitable for girls.
Orange
The interior, which is dominated by turquoise and orange, stands out due to its bright and fresh colors. At the same time, it is recommended to decorate the walls and ceiling in the first color. And orange should be used as one of the elements of the general decor. In particular, in this color you can buy bed linen, pillows or furnishings.
Terracotta
As with orange, terracotta in a turquoise bedroom must be used in dosage. In this color it is recommended to buy small-sized items that can complement, but not "capture" the interior.
Red
Red is considered the least suitable shade for the interior in question, since, unlike turquoise, it stimulates the psyche. This color scheme is used to highlight individual areas.
Influence of turquoise color on the psychological state
It is known that different tones affect the psyche in a special way. Some give rise to inextinguishable optimism in us, others calm us down, others are capable of causing aggression. What is the power of turquoise? Imagine a clear blue sky flowing into a serene sea surface. This is the first association that most people have when meeting this bluish-green hue. What feelings can arise in the soul at such moments? Of course, serene calmness and satisfaction. It is not for nothing that turquoise meditation is so widespread. It is recommended for those who are worried or nervous. While a person absorbs this shade with his eyes, it completely relaxes, harmonizes emotions and even increases immunity. Subconsciously, turquoise is associated with cleanliness, coolness and freshness. This color is characterized as moist, deep and mysterious.
Features of choice
It was partially noted above that not all furnishings are suitable for a turquoise bedroom. Products made in light colors will be appropriate in such an interior. But other options are also possible.
Furniture
For an interior in turquoise colors, white furniture is considered optimal. To enhance the effect created, it is recommended to purchase items with a varnished surface, which will visually expand the space. If the bedroom is decorated in a retro style, then furniture can be taken with a matte surface. Artificially aged objects look good in such a room.
If a sofa and armchairs are installed in the bedroom, then navy blue upholstery is allowed.The rest of the furnishings can be made in other colors, not necessarily light ones. At the same time, designers do not recommend installing bulky products in such a bedroom. The only large item in the room should be the bed.
Textile
In a turquoise room, it is recommended to use textiles in contrasting shades. In this case, the texture of the material does not play a decisive role. In particular, the bed can be covered with white linen with bright colors.
To create a soft atmosphere in a turquoise bedroom, use textiles made from natural fabrics, dyed in white or milky shades.
Wallpaper
The walls in the bedroom, decorated in the described style, are recommended to be pasted over with plain wallpaper
The presence of an unobtrusive pattern is allowed, which will not focus attention on itself. The color of the wallpaper is selected taking into account the shade of other items: furniture, textiles, decorating details, and so on.
Finishing materials
When choosing finishing materials, it is necessary to be guided by the given rule: one color should not occupy more than 50% of the volume of the room.
Floor
The turquoise interior complements the woodgrain floor. As a covering in such a bedroom, it is recommended to use laminate, boards or parquet. The shade of the floor should be neutral (gray, whitish) or "warm" (light brown, beige). It is not recommended to cover the floor with varnish, as the glossy surface will add a "cold" color to the room.
Walls
In a turquoise bedroom, several room design options can be used. So, walls are often painted in several colors, using light (pastel) colors. A combination of two or three tones on one surface is permissible. This solution helps to "dilute" the overall atmosphere of the room and create a bedroom dotted with bright colors.
Ceiling
The ceiling is recommended to be painted white. To expand the space, it is necessary to use a material (paint) with a glossy sheen. A combination of turquoise and white shades on the ceiling is permissible.
Decorating the bedroom in turquoise colors
Renovation of a room starts from the ceiling. In order not to lose the airiness so important in this interior, you should not choose saturated colors for its design. It is better to stop at a white, sky blue or other light shade. Such a ceiling will not crush and will create a feeling of transparency and lightness. Acrylic paints, modern glossy and matte stretch ceilings are used as finishes. Mirror gloss catches the sun's rays and sends them into the room. The matte finish looks unobtrusive, simple, and does not distract from the main design accents. The ceiling can be made in two shades. For example, one part is white and the other is blue.
The walls are painted with acrylic paint, covered with decorative plaster, wallpaper, photo wallpaper, wall panels
When choosing a color, it is important to immediately decide what role the walls will play in the interior. Will they serve as a backdrop for turquoise accessories or will they themselves act as a color accent?
Suitable for the floor are wooden parquet boards, laminate, vinyl flooring. In those interiors where turquoise enters into an alliance with white or beige, coatings of neutral shades look harmonious - light gray, cold beige. If chocolate and aquamarine have become friends in the interior, the floor can be decided in a dark brown color.
Wallpaper as a way to decorate turquoise walls
Turquoise wallpaper for walls is probably the best surface design option. This is due to the fact that it is with the help of this finishing method that you can achieve a wide variety of textures and use original drawings.
This method contains a certain force, so turquoise walls can be made monochromatic and textured, or, conversely, smooth, but patterned.
If we talk about the combination of colors on the wallpaper, then, as a rule, a combination of turquoise with light, for example, white or milky, or turquoise with black is used.
If we talk about turquoise walls in the bedroom in the style of shabby chic or Provence, then they are easy to implement if you choose a floral ornament, combining shades such as:
- Coral.
- Yellow.
- Light green.
- Pistachio.
- Light gray.
- Pastel pink.
- Peach.
- Lactic.
- Ivory.
- Sand.
The smaller the drawing, the easier it is to add it to any interior.
