What are the shades

The color palette is multifaceted. It presents many shades. All of them were born from a mixture of low-key blue and natural green. Turquoise, marine green, peacock blue, Pacific, the color of the Cypriot breeze, sea depth, lapis, blue pagoda - there is simply no count for the variants of the aqua green.

For others, it is a continuous wave movement and foam spray. Therefore, the color of the sea wave each has its own. Some people like lake blue, some people like turquoise or deep Atlantic.

It will wonderfully decorate not only the marine and Mediterranean decorations, but also any other solutions - from traditional to ultra-modern. Deep and inviting color can be used in decoration, furniture, accessories. He will give nobility to classical style or Art Deco, shading luxurious gold nuances and white stucco elements. Pop art or loft reward spectacular decor or bright designer furniture. Provence decorate low-key elegant accents. In the high-tech will highlight the brilliance of the metal and the shine of glass. In oriental interiors will help curb the riot of colors.


    

Combination with other colors

The blue-green shade is very fond of neutral "neighbors." It looks advantageous on a gray, white, beige background. The color is not pure and therefore it combines equally well with warm and cold hues. The most popular combinations of aqua colors are:

  • with white - blue-green is wonderfully revealed when it is set off with bright whiteness. A picture immediately appears in the memory - a snow-white liner swaying on turquoise waves;
  • with yellow, the first association is the blue sea and hot sand. What could be more natural and more organic than this combination?
  • with gray - calm composition, which contributes to rest and relaxation;
  • with black - dosed use of black does not harden the interior, but will add some playfulness to the color of the sea wave;
  • with coral - bright harmony, which again sends the imagination into the depths of the sea;
  • with orange - saturate the room with emotions, give brightness and originality.


    

Combinations with similar tones - green, blue, blue fill the room with serenity and depth. Contrast combinations - with bright sunny hues, on the contrary, act as an energy drink. Their intensity can be neutralized by adding light neutral colors.

The effect of lighting on color

The shade of the sea wave has the ability to absorb light. He is able to turn a room on the north side into a dark and uncomfortable dwelling that one wants to leave as soon as possible in order to get rid of depressive thoughts. At the same time, it can cool the room sunlit and bring freshness and coolness to it. The shade of the sea can distort the artificial light, so you should contact it in rooms with large windows on the well-lit side. Sun protection barriers - blackout curtains and blinds in such interiors are best not to use. Replace them with transparent tulle, and the room is filled with air and freedom.
Artificial lighting should be chosen very carefully so as not to turn the beautiful emerald-blue interior into an earthy-blue or greenish misunderstanding. It is best to use white light from halogen bulbs. It will not change the true shade of decoration. But since these sources are by no means economical, it is better to abandon them in favor of LED lamps. They are variations of warm, cool and neutral shades.


    

If you wish, you can find fixtures in which you can change the nature of lighting with the help of the control panel - at a distance. Red, blue, turquoise, and green may be included in the "clip" of the suggested hues.


    

Room design

With proper use of the color of sea wave will decorate the interior of any room in the house. It is only necessary to choose the right colors-companions, determine the dosage and location of this picturesque shade.

Living room

The large windows of the common room let in a sufficient amount of light. Therefore, you should not be afraid that the hall will turn into a gloomy basement room. Shades of cyan can be safely used in the design of the walls, in the decoration of furniture and accessories. Luxury blue-green wallpaper with a chocolate pattern, complemented by a beige base, will add luxury to the interior. The combination of snow-white finish with patches of turquoise furniture will saturate you with freshness. Natural natural elements will add natural wood. The shade of the sea looks great in accessories and textiles. Plain blue-green or neutral, decorated with ultramarine ornament pillows, rugs, curtains create a calm optimistic atmosphere. As an accent, you can use photo wallpaper with a 3D image of a spectacular dark turquoise flower. Blue-green wallpaper or paint can be an excellent tool for zoning space into functional areas. For example, they can make room for a home office or a wall with an improvised dressing room.

    

Accessories of lemon, lime or orange color will help to make the room even more cheerful.

Bedroom

In the bedroom, the blue sea looks great in textiles. Turquoise curtains and bedspread on the background of neutral or chocolate furniture will be a bright decoration of the design. In the decoration of the walls the color of the sea wave is better used fragmentarily - as the decoration of the wall above the head of the bed or in decorative niches. You can arrange a section of the wall, allotted for TV and enclose it in a white frame of moldings. On the ceiling, ultramarine is appropriate as a central element framed by a white suspended structure. On a blue-green background a chandelier with white frosted shades will look especially convex and elegant. The ceiling itself against its background will drift away, rushing up.


    

Kitchen

Shades of cyan in the kitchen can be "warmed" using natural wood. Doors, floor, ceiling beams in the colors of light wood will fill the blue-green room with rustic comfort and warmth. Dark elements will endow the interior with nobility and severity. In modern kitchens, high-tech or minimalist styles are tinged with neutral shades of blue. For example, a snow-white tabletop or a beige apron in combination with a turquoise facade. It is possible to freshen up the interior, if the surface of the headset is combined - with a white top or with multi-colored doors of a fancy undulating shape. On the floor is appropriate bright glossy tiles or chess layout of blue-green and snow-white elements. Adequate lighting should be provided for each zone. The light will be actively absorbed and there is a risk that at dusk the kitchen will turn into a gloomy and uncomfortable closet. The glossy surfaces of the facades, the ceiling, floor and wall tiles and light transparent curtains will help to maximally protect the light from the “voracious” ultramarine.

  • whether the room is combined with the room or separated by walls - painting the open hallway with the sea-green color will visually separate it from the room, bring it into a separate area. Closed space is better to arrange in light shades;
  • the number of lighting devices - the brighter the light, the more freedom in the use of dark tones.
