It is in...the 2010 pantone color of the year is turquoise. Turquoise represents deep compassion and healing and is also the color of faith and hope. How appropriate is that for 2010? The color is influenced by the sky and water and for many represents the idea of an escape. Many people are craving escapism after a tough year and what better to put in your house than a color that reminds you of a resort destination.
So how can we use turquoise in our homes? Turquoise works really well with most colors in the spectrum. It adds stimulation to neutrals and browns, complements reds and pinks, creates a nautical look with deep blues, livens up greens and is trendy with yellows.
Turquoise can be used in both formal and informal applications.
It can easily look both elegant on dressy silks or casual on linens and cottons. Being that it is such a versatile color it works well as a accent color in a room rather than the dominant color. Turquoise works very well in powder rooms and bedrooms. It adds warmth and excitement to any cool space. It is also a great accent color in a kitchen being used on tiles, table linens or appliances to create some vibrancy in the room.
"Turquoise is universally appealing. It puts everyone in the same state of mind- on vacation." Says Jane Shoenborn of Lilly Pulitzer.
