Color Wise - Teal-icious!!

You should have met me a year ago and I would have gawked at you, had you mentioned, you are using a  "Teal" wall-color. It's a bold, rich color with immense depth. Who in their right mind would use such a color on the walls - #pastelshadesforthewiny'all. Over the course of time, though, I have come to realize how beautiful this color looks and how with the right accessories, will add a bold personality to the room you decide to paint it with.

With Diwali around the corner and so many of you planning to repaint your homes, we start with the "Color Wise" series. I will begin with this deep rich tone and how it works effectively. Should you play it safe, and paint just an accent wall like the ones below -

Talking of favorites, Teal paint color has to be my choice for a Formal Dining Room. This bold moody tone, with the right furniture and pops of bright colors in small measure, can turn out to be a sophisticated choice. See how in the pic below the White board and batten, the darker furniture and mirror and just a tinge of pop through the lime wall-art adds a touch of sophistication to this dining room.

When you can do more, why stop at the Dining Room. I suggest, go for a lesser saturated Teal and see how your Living Room gives a coastal vibe. Balance the wall-color with bright accessories in Lime or Tangerine and have White or Mint/Pastel Blue airy drapes and voila, it's a coastal vacation!!

How about some boy-room fun? Imagine the likes of a tween/teenager (how about a nautical themed room or a superhero theme) and see for yourself how this color works its wonder.

The rule of thumb for selecting wall-color, always, is to pick it last. Plan your room with what is available by means of upholstery fabric and other decor items and work your paint color around that, as the choice there is unlimited.
