With summer officially here, it is time to brave the sweltering heat. Looking for ways to stay cool, calm and collected this season? You can do this right at home! Just cool up your home with teal – a colour that can be bold and bright or soft and soothing depending on how you use it. Douse your walls in this hue or sprinkle in colourful accents for home decor that is the picture of serene sophistication. Don’t be afraid to give this happy and inviting colour a starring role in your interior home design.

We’ve pulled together some of the top ways to incorporate teal into your home:

1. With other hues

Tons of colours work well with teal. Test it out with coral or pink—colours that perfectly balance teal’s coolness with warmth. Try it with bright white for an uber-preppy pop or with a navy blue for a more modern spin. And of course teal can bring a trendy twist to a classic blue-and-white colour palette when paired with tangerine too. Teal with a hint of grey goes well with any formal setting. By balancing teal with an ample dose of gold and brown tones, it feels fresh and unexpected in a room colour scheme.

2. On the walls 

Walls adorned with teal wall paint can serve as a soothing backdrop for any contemporary home, providing opportunity to incorporate an eclectic array of bright colours, patterns and textures. A chocolate-brown table and pale-yellow upholstered chairs against a teal wall can create a welcoming space in your dining room for small gatherings. Teal walls anchor a calming neutral scheme and lend a light and airy look. Think ivory walls allow the soft shades of teal to make a bold statement of their own. To bring everything together in your home décor, paint not just the walls but the ceilings too in similar soft shades of teal. A ribbon of teal glass tiles can ripple like water in a regal white bathroom. Wallpapers are chic, eclectic and loaded with personality; get your creative juices flowing by creating a fun accent wall with a refreshing teal wallpaper.

3. Choosing upholstery and furniture 

Opting for a teal home decor in your space doesn’t have to involve paint. A big-size sofa in a deep, rich teal and bright pillows in pinks can pack a punch in your living room. Teal-and-white striped chairs can add dimension and contrast against neutral walls for visual interest. Give your wooden dining chairs a lift with a coat of teal spray paint and playfully patterned seat cushions. Another teal decorating idea is to pair the colour with leafy greens in your outdoor space. Striking teal upholstery and white furniture allows the bold hue and playful patterns to shine. Highlight the dark four-poster in your bedroom with teal bed linens in plain textures. Teal throw pillows in a variety of textures and subtle patterns can introduce contrast to give the space even more oomph. 

4. Accessories and decorative elements

A smattering of teal accessories and decorative elements can infuse your home with a youthful energy. Leave the walls neutral and opt for whitewash furniture to allow the bold teal elements to truly shine. To imbue your living room with warmth and character, consider a striped rug in additional shades of teal for depth. Breezy window drapes in pale teal can keep your home office light and bright. Hints of teal, such as through wall artwork or a vase, can inject unexpected vitality to the otherwise neutral dining space. Pairing a cream kitchen island with teal cabinetry can create a serene kitchen with personality. To give the kitchen a modern twist, opt for with stainless-steel appliances, and black knobs and pulls on the cabinets. Vibrant yet adaptable, teal is a standout in any setting. Get inspired to use this colour as an accent, on walls, and on furniture with these teal decorating ideas.
