One of the easiest ways to add teal into your living room is by adding a teal sofa. It's lower impact than a layer of paint, and a softer take on the vibrant hue. You can also get a similar effect by adding a teal loveseat or accent chair.

For a teal living room that's practically aquatic, try a teal that leans more towards blue than green. Deep blue teals give spaces a relaxing look and are a great choice for more mid-century-styled living rooms, like this one from Erin Williamson.

Instead of all-over teal, some prefer an accent wall or two. Accent walls can be nearly any wall, but sometimes they look best when it's a wall your eye is already drawn to, like the one your TV is on. For an eye-catching teal look, paint the wall your media center or TV is on, like Casa Watkins Living did here.

A great way to bring teal into your living room is through furniture—namely, sofas. But if you want teal to be center-stage in your space, consider using two sofas instead of one. For a put-together look, use two identical ones, like Erin Williamson did here. For a more offbeat twist, pair two complementary teal sofas,

For a subtler, more grown-up teal living room look, try out a deeper shade of the vibrant hue. You'll still have the beautiful blue-green blend, but it will be a little less obvious—perfect for spaces that already have a lot going on, like tiny studios or open-concept spaces.

Looking to amp up the effect of teal in your living room? Bring on the texture. A velvety teal, like what's seen in the sofa above from the space by Mindy Gayer Design, makes the living room feel luxe and elegant. While a more roughly woven teal will make a living room look more casual.

For a custom teal look that seems like it's been there all along, add some useful cabinetry to your living room according to your needs.
Then, paint the cabinetry and the wall behind it the same shade of teal—the identical shades will make the whole fixture look built-in.

Another picture-perfect teal combination can be found in teal and brass. The warm golden hues of the brass provide a nice contrast to the cooler tones of teal. To make this color combo pack even more of a punch, use a matte-finish teal with a shiny brass.

Teal doesn't have to be the main event—it can also be a great accent color in a living room too. Bring in accents of teal with smaller pieces of furniture like coffee and side tables, or use it in the décor and throw pillows of a room. Or, do both!

A teal that leans more green than blue can be a great color for a living room with a more eclectic or vintage look. Additionally, a greenish teal is often lighter than a bluish teal, making it good pick for smaller or busier spaces.

Looking to add some bold and bright color to your living room? Time to break out the neon teal. Though this vibrant hue may be too much for some, it's certainly the color to make a statement. But to keep your living room from feeling too much like an '80s flashback, use neon teal in furniture and décor, rather than painting it on your wall.

Looking for extra storage in your living room? And a little bit of extra color too? The answer to both can be found in teal cabinetry.
For a softer look, use a more muted shade of teal, like what's seen in this space from Bespoke Only. For a bolder take, amp up the saturation of your teal and look for bright and bold shades.

Teal Living Room: Color Combos
One of the major benefits of teal is that it can fit into almost any color scheme! If you’re working with neutrals, teal can provide the perfect hint of saturation while still maintaining a contemporary feel.
If you have a predominantly warm space, teal can give your living room a cool touch. For a trend that’s totally hot for 2022, go with an all-cool interior comprised of calming shades like sage green, teal, mint, and even olive. Monochromatic spaces are all the rage, and cool colors are a great way to experiment with this trend while still avoiding an overly colorful space. Another major win for teal is that it’s timeless! There is almost no décor period throughout history where teal wasn’t present. Trends may come and go, but teal has the unique ability to look modern no matter what decade.
A Teal & Yellow Living Room
For the prefect balance of warm and cool, try pairing teal with a sunny yellow. Yellow was one of the hottest colors in 2021, and it’s not going anywhere! If you still have yellow décor from last year, teal is the perfect way to bring it into 2022. Add a piece of teal and yellow décor to tie in the two contrasting colors. Wall décor is a great option for a low-cost piece that won’t take up any space.
Whether your living room is quirky or sophisticated, teal and yellow are a vibrant combination that will wow your guests.

Moody & Dark Teal Living Room
If bright colors aren’t your thing, that doesn’t mean you have to forgo teal all together! In fact, teal can also serve as the perfect accent color to a dark, moody living room. If navy feels too overdone, teal is the ideal alternative. With a black or charcoal-based color palette, blue used to be a no-go. However, teal has just the right amount of green to make it look intentional rather than clash! You can also opt for teal-tinted houseplants like succulents and palms for an organic pop of color that will look stunning with darker tones. If you’re really daring, try a teal or slate gray accent wall! Nothing makes a statement quite like a fresh coat of paint.

Using Teal Décor as a Pop of Color
All-neutral living rooms are out for 2022, and adding color is essential to stay trendy.
If you’re nervous to jump into an uber-colorful interior, teal is the perfect stepping stone to adding contrast without overwhelming your neutral color palette. If bright teal still feels too vibrant, choose a more muted version with a hint of gray. Muted teal can still pack a punch, especially in a cool, neutral space. You can also opt for wall art as your source of color, which gives you the opportunity to swap it out if you decide it’s too vibrant. Teal is one of those colors that is almost impossible to overdo, so even if you’re a minimalist, it’s a great option!
Expert Décor Tips

You can easily combine teal with tons of other colors, which is why it’s important to define the mood you’re going for. For a luxurious, ultra-cozy look, try mixing teal with shades like chocolate brown, gold, red, purple, or magenta.

A living room in turquoise tones is a great option for those who are looking for unusual interior solutions and are ready to experiment. The turquoise living room looks very stylish, this choice indicates the delicate taste of the owners and their eccentricity.
How to start designing a turquoise living room?
First you need to choose a shade that you like. Turquoise color is very multifaceted - it can be azure, green, mint ... There are a lot of shades. Choose the one that you are ready to surround yourself with at home.
When the shade is chosen, we proceed to planning the interior of the living room.
There are two main options here:
- Use turquoise in the decoration of the room (walls, floors, ceilings).
- Use color in the environment (furniture, textiles, decor).
Combining these options in most cases looks redundant. For example, turquoise furniture against the background of turquoise walls negates all the charm of this color, the interior turns into a dull monochrome sheet.
To prevent this from happening, it is worth diluting the turquoise color with others - it can be white, beige, gray, brown, etc.
Choose the colors that will "frame" the turquoise color. It is desirable that these colors be more than two, but not more than five - such a range will create a harmonious interior.
When the color scheme of the living room interior is determined, you can start creating the atmosphere. Here you need to focus on the layout of the room - its size, shape and location of windows.
- Size is important in order to correctly distribute color accents. For example, light shades can visually expand the room a little, while bright and saturated ones can “compress” the extra space.
In addition, the larger the room, the more shades of color can be used in it. In compact living rooms, the proportion is reversed: the smaller the room, the more concise the decor should be. - The shape of the room is important if you want to highlight certain areas. For example, the living room is too long, and to remove the "wagon" feeling, you can paint part of the room in a dark turquoise color. The walls, ceiling and even the floor in the remote part of the room are decorated in approximately the same color (rather dark, almost blue) - the result is a romantic secluded area that does not “fall out” of the interior, but at the same time receives a new function. It will be a kind of lounge where you can comfortably relax with a book, a smartphone or a pleasant companion.
- The location of the windows - this will determine how the environment looks in natural light. Under the rays of the sun, the turquoise color looks soft green - it looks very touching and beautiful.
It should be borne in mind that bright textiles under the constant influence of direct rays can fade (despite the assurances of manufacturers and advertisers). If the sun's rays fall directly on your favorite turquoise bedspread, it may lose its brightness, so it is worth either cleaning it during the day or rearranging it.
Choice of living room furnishings with turquoise walls
If you want to see the living room walls painted turquoise, the next step is to choose furniture. It should emphasize the tenderness of turquoise and at the same time be quite light visually. The ideal option is furniture with legs, this creates the effect of “hovering” in the air, which is very consistent with the nature of the turquoise color.
The color of furniture can be anything - from restrained beige to "crazy" fuchsia. It all depends on the chosen interior style. For example, if it is pop art, furniture can be multi-colored, and bright posters and panels can be hung on the walls to support its eccentricity.
Another important point is the choice of textiles. Curtains, bedspreads are designed to play the role of "intermediaries" between walls and furniture. The best option is textiles of a complex color with a small and unobtrusive print, in which there are blotches of the selected turquoise hue. At the same time, you don’t need to try to match the curtains and other textiles in the room from the same fabric - it will look too boring and old-fashioned.
"Character" turquoise
Turquoise is a cool bright color that always attracts attention. It is very accent, no need to force it to "argue" with other colors.
To emphasize the beauty and depth of the turquoise color, it should be surrounded by calmer shades.
Color compatibility - what to combine turquoise with?
From the point of view of compatibility, the turquoise color is very unpretentious, it harmonizes perfectly with almost all other cold colors: white, gray, cold beige, coral, blue, etc.
It is very important to observe exactly the “temperature” of the shades so that the interior looks harmonious. For example, a combination of turquoise with yellow or orange is quite dangerous, the effect may not turn out as expected.
Turquoise living room lighting
Turquoise looks completely different in warm and cold lighting. Here the choice is yours: do you want the atmosphere to be cozy and soft or strict and restrained?
In any case, it is worth checking how the whole living room looks like under different lighting conditions - day and evening (natural), as well as artificial (in the light of warm / cold light lamps).
This point should also be taken into account when choosing paint / wallpaper / textiles in the salon - under what lighting do you buy them and what kind of light will you have at home?
What style suits turquoise?
The color of turquoise is natural, and due to its origin, it goes well with natural materials.
It can be wood, fabrics of natural shades, glass, concrete - next to products made from these materials, turquoise things look very organic.
But this color has another side - it can look "plastic" and very technological. Therefore, it can be used in high-tech style - this creates an interesting effect, which is actively used by many companies working in the field of innovation. Turquoise-glossy surfaces evoke associations with parallel worlds and other accessories of the future - and such chips in the interior of the living room also look cool.
How to design the perfect turquoise living room?
- Choose the right shade that you like in any light.
- Use several shades of turquoise - in textiles, decor, furniture. No need to try to match exactly all "tone on tone".
- Use correct color combinations in terms of color "temperature". A universal option is cold shades of any color, which almost always go well with turquoise.
The relevance of turquoise color in the interior of the living room
It is the unique balance of the turquoise color that makes it the undisputed leader in the color scheme. This is a difficult, but very beautiful shade at the junction of blue and green. There is a little more blue here, a little more green there - and somewhere at the junction between these natural calm shades, a very beautiful and multifaceted turquoise color is born.
Turquoise color appeared in interior fashion about 10 years ago, and now it is at the peak of popularity.
This demand is due to a number of reasons:
- Turquoise color is easy to combine with anything. Even if the combination turned out to be not entirely successful, it can be passed off as a new trend - and no one will argue with that.
- Almost all shades of turquoise are perfectly combined with each other, which ensures the interchangeability of many interior elements.
- Turquoise shades are the perfect backdrop for photos. Light skin against their background looks aristocratic-porcelain, and swarthy - olive-warm.
