Teal is one of the most popular colours for contemporary palettes, bringing a wonderfully fresh and bright ambience to any room without being too overpowering. Teal has that ocean feel, and coordinates beautifully with colours such as crisp white, deeper blues and luxurious cream tones, reminding you of days at the beach. The exquisite blue-green of teal puts it right in the middle of the colour wheel, allowing so many different hues to work with it to bring out the best in this gloriously indulgent tone.
Teal paint is also a perfect partner for metallics, especially rose gold and silver, and can be used as an accent colour to enhance metallic wallpaper and signature wall murals. Add a dash of white or neutral paint to emphasise wood trim or borders and you have a match that brings a sophisticated element into a bedroom or living room. Teal feels totally at home in an elegant bathroom, or a contemporary kitchen as a contrast to monochromatic palettes and to add a touch of warmth. In a home office, it creates a restful yet focused atmosphere, while a spare room feels inviting and welcoming with a touch of teal.
