Decorating with teal – what to consider

Decorating with teal is a popular room color idea with interior designers and homeowners alike, thanks to its versatility.

'A color that is beautiful, bold and sits so well with almost all other colors, using teal in interiors is always a great idea as it can be so dynamic,' says Emma Deterding, founder and creative director, Kelling Designs . 'Whether you go for a bright teal or opt for a moodier, deeper shade, it's versatile enough to add life and energy, whilst creating drama and atmosphere in any living space.'

Andy Greenall, head of design at Paint & Paper Library , also highlights how teal can be used to create a range of different blue room ideas suitable for any season. 'A perfectly balanced hue, it’s neither too warm or too cool. It will create a sumptuous cocooning feeling in winter and an uplifting, almost Mediterranean decor feel when bathed in light on sunny summer days.'

For those confident with color, teal can look stunning used wall-to-wall and is great for bringing a sense of drama to living rooms and dining rooms. Alternatively, for a more pared-back approach to decorating, teal can make a fabulous accent color for bringing extra depth to neutral schemes and for livening up restful spaces such as bedrooms.

A bold, captivating shade, teal can make a stunning statement when used wall-to-wall. ‘Super strong tones like teal are lively and exciting and add energy to a room, to make it pop,’ explains Justyna Korczynska, senior designer at Crown . 

When choosing teal paint ideas it’s important to take into account the tone as this can have a big impact on the look and feel of the space. While bright teals can create a fresh, vibrant feel, darker teals with black in them can create a more moody, dramatic feel. 

Deep teals can make a great dining room color ideas, as they will create an intimate atmosphere which is perfect for entertaining. To enhance effect, consider using teal on the ceiling and across all skirting and woodwork, too – this is known as color drenching and can look beautifully contemporary.

Think about the lighting of the room

If you're thinking of decorating with teal it's important to take into account the orientation of the room and the light it receives as this will impact how the color looks and feels and what warmth of shade you choose, explains Andy
Greenall, head of design for Paint & Paper Library.

'As teals span the color spectrum from bright turquoise tones to luxurious cyan hues, the base tone varies from green to blue, so consider selecting a bluer hue in south-facing spaces and a greener teal in a north-facing room, where the cooler light will emphasize the blue within the color.'

Use teal with white to create a feeling of serenity

Conjuring the alluring turquoise and cyan tones of the Mediterranean sea, decorating with teal together with white is a fabulous way to bring a restful feel to interiors. With its soothing, watery connotations, the shade makes a great bathroom color idea – after all, if there's anywhere that deserves to feel relaxing it's the bathroom. 

If you're considering teal for your bathroom paneling ideas, as demonstrated here, then 'opt for a satin finish,' suggests Andy Greenall head of design at Paper & Paint Library. 'As well as being practical and durable, it offers a 30-35 percent sheen level, this will highlight the paneling and create a beautiful light reflecting surface. '

Combine different tones of teal

Decorating in a single hue, or with cool tones like blue, can sometimes leave rooms feeling cold or lacking in atmosphere. If you're thinking of an all-teal room then consider using a variation of tones to create layers of depth. 

This is also a useful tactic for those cautious with using block color, explains Ruth Mottershead, creative director of Little Greene . 'If painting all elements in one shade feels a little overwhelming, select a group of tonally coordinating colors and utilize across the room,' she advises.

Team teal with natural wood

Conjuring the beautiful tones of sea and sky, teal works fabulously with natural materials and stands out beautifully when set next to the honeyed and blonde tones of natural wood as demonstrated in this dining space. 

When decorating with teal, 'draw on the organic tones of the shade and include plenty of botanicals and raw woods to create a fresh and enlivening space,' says Helen Shaw, UK director at Benjamin Moore . 'Alternatively earthy and warm accents such as mustard or paprika will create a mid-century and dramatic feel,' she adds.

Pair teal with pink accents and navy

If you're looking for colors to pair with teal, consider pink. Sitting opposite green on the color wheel, pink works particularly well for balancing greenish-blue tones. 'Teal and pink is a winning combination as the colors sit so beautifully together and it is a pairing that can be seen used across many of our design schemes,' says Emma Deterding, founder and creative director, Kelling Designs.

'Whether you go bold with bright teals and fuchsia pinks in big pops on your walls, joinery and furniture, or whether you introduce it to a neutral space through accessories and soft furnishings, you can add an uplifting burst of color and pattern that's as easy on the eye as it is beautiful.'

Introduce teal accents

For a gentler approach to decorating with teal try introducing it through accessories such as throws, cushions and lampshades. For those that prefer pared-back neutral room ideas, adding colorful accessories in vibrant shea blues are a brilliant way to liven up the space whilst maintaining a feeling of calm.

For a playful approach to decorating with teal why not paint the inside of a cabinet or pantry for an unexpected color pop? Painting a glazed cabinet in a bold hue can make a brilliant backdrop for displaying china as it will allow pieces to really pop.

Use teal to highlight period features

If you love bold colors like teal, but are cautious of using them in abundance, then why not introduce them over woodwork or other architectural features such as fireplaces?

'Architectural features are a fantastic host for making a statement with color, be that skirting and doors, or if you’re lucky enough, traditional window shutters which look resplendent in a statement color,' explains Andy Greenall head of design, Paint & Paper Library.

Pair teal with black and white

If you're planning on decorating with black and white then teal can make a beautiful complimentary color. Used in their pure form, black and white can look stark and flat so can really benefit from being tempered by another color and teal is the ideal candidate. 

Bold and vibrant, teal has the ability to stand up to two-tone schemes as this bathroom proves. In this scheme teal bathroom wall tiles provide visual balance to the striking checkered floor while also creating a beautiful backdrop for this luxurious roll top.

Use teal to bring energy to a kitchen

Kitchens are spaces in which we spend lots of time, so it makes sense that they feel happy and uplifting and teal is a brilliant way to achieve this. According to the experts, teal has become an increasingly popular as a kitchen color idea, providing a fresh take on the classic blue kitchen.  

'In kitchens we often see tones of blue or green being used to draw the eye to the center island, however more recently we have seen a trend for more vibrant hues coming through such as shades of teal or verdigris,' says Helen Shaw, UK director at Benjamin Moore.

What colors go well with teal?

Teal goes well with a host of other colors. Sitting between green and blue, it is a versatile shade which fits easily with many color schemes. 

With orange sitting opposite blue on the color wheel, and green sitting opposite pink, as a mixture of the two, teal is a natural partner to both shades but also looks fabulous with other warm tones like yellow and red.

'I love it using teal in designs with reds, charcoals and saffron especially. It works wonderfully well as a back ground to these vibrant colors so great for walls as well,' explains Susie Watson, founder of Susie Watson Designs . 'Deep colors are now so fashionable on walls again and they do make an amazing back drop to the reds, pinks and saffron we love using. '

When thinking about colors to pair with teal Tobie Lewis, Senior Brand Manager at Valspar Paint suggests using it 'with a cleansing white to maximize natural light in a room, or in contrast with an earthy mustard yellow or burnt orange to add more depth to your color palette.'

How do you use teal in a living room?

There are many ways to use teal in a living room, in fact, being a hugely versatile shade, it can be used in most rooms.

If you love teal and a confident with color, 'go bold by painting an entire room or add a pop of it with a statement feature wall,' says Sam Hood, chief creative officer at luxury home store Amara . Alternatively, for a more subtle approach, 'a beautiful teal vase or decorative objet can bring depth and interest to any surface,' she adds.

'For furniture, teal velvet works well and adds a sumptuous texture to your living space.'

When deciding what tone of teal to use be sure to think about lighting explains  Annie Sloan .  

'In bright natural daylight, this color will lean more green whilst at night, under artificial light, the blue pigment will be more noticeable,' says the paint and color expert. 'This depth of shade will create a wonderful, snug, cozy feeling even in larger rooms,' she adds, however in smaller spaces she suggests to, 'use it on just one wall.'

No matter what the decorating trends are at the moment, no matter what your last style was, no matter what your mother-in-law says, the decor decisions you make for your home should make you happy. It is your space after all. So when you need to paint your living space a color that isn’t cream or gray or anything even close to the neutral family, you have all the permission. As you’re looking around for that color, we would encourage you to try teal. This bluish-green color comes in dark shades, light shades, and everything in between. Scroll through these 15 living rooms that boast a teal color and you’ll be convinced that it is the tone for you and your home. We’ll also share with you some of our top tips for decorating with teal as well as some colors you can match teal within your living room.

Top Tips for Decorating Your Living Room with Teal

When decorating a living room with teal, one of the first decisions you need to make is how you are going to incorporate teal into your living room. For example, you may feel brave enough to paint your walls teal, in which case, you probably want a sofa in a more neutral color to offset the bold walls. On the other hand, if you fancy adding teal to your room with a new sofa or piece of furniture, opt for neutral walls in a gray or white shade. This will help to balance out the room and make the sofa the focal point of your living room.

The next decision is to pick the shade of teal you would like to add to your living room. If this is your first time adding a bold color to your living room, stick with a lighter shade instead of going too dark. The great thing about teal is that it comes in a wide range of shades, you can opt to go darker in the future if you really love the color. If you already have a dark living room, you might be able to just go straight for one of the darker colors we showcased above, as you will already be used to have a darker room.

What Color Goes with Teal?

Teal is a mixture of green and blue, but the shades can vary from a yellowish blue to a dark slate color. Complementary colors that you could opt to use in your living room include gray, brown, yellow, metallics, and black. Teal can go with most colors, but you’ll want to avoid putting too many bold colors together, so your living room doesn’t look too mismatched.

As far as your furniture is concerned, light-colored wooden furniture goes great with teal walls, and it will help to brighten up your room while still offering a modern look. In order to break up the dark walls, you could also add trinkets in white or silver for a splash of brightness. A fun color combination we enjoy for the living room is teal and mustard. While this is certainly a more daring duo, you can have neutral brown or gray walls and then add upholstery in these two colors to the room to finish it off. Even the most simple living rooms will look completely refreshed thanks to these two colors.

In our living rooms, we often add various accessories on bookshelves and the mantelpiece. One combination we really enjoy is bronze and teal. The rustic look of the copper goes really well with teal, and it adds a unique touch to any living room. You could also add a table in the center of the room with bronze accents for a splash of this color.
