Embrace the appeal of teal

If your heart sings at the thought of being surrounded by soothing shades of blue and green, teal may just be the colour your home has been waiting for. Whether you love pale peacock shades or a rich jewel-toned hue, teal can adapt to take on a look that is either traditional or trendy.

Teal really stands out against bright white, but also looks beautiful when paired with cream, navy, pale grey and the natural wood colours. For a pop of excitement, use teal with orange, coral pinks or even gold. Or, if subtle colour is your style, place teal accessories, like a statement rug or vibrant cushions, against a rich wall colour, such as aubergine or a deep plum.
