Turquoise is undoubtedly one of my favorite colors, period. Since Pantone announced Turquoise as the official color of 2010, it's been everywhere (which makes me oh so happy). I've found some spaces that use this lovely color in perfect restraint, either on a wall, a frame, the floor, or in bits and pieces of decor. There's no need to go overboard, a touch here and there do a lot to freshen up a space.

I think the turquoise painted floor is my favorite. What do you think? If you could pick a color for 2011, what would it be?

I had no idea colors were desginated as colors of the year! That's cool!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS on the engagement! When is the big day?
I love turquoise, its one of my favorite colors. I love them all actually. My friend has an entire side of one of the walls in her dining room exactly like the first picture. Its gorgeous. {and I love the floor too! So unexpected, but a great surprise!}
ReplyDeleteMmm, I love turquoise, especially pale turquoise with yellow and have found myself adding it to my gray and white kitchen--a glass vase and a little turquoise & yellow print have cheered me up so much lately. So I guess my answer would be pale turquoise!

I have what used to be my boring beige limestone bathroom, painted in a bright, refreshing and cheerful ...Tiffany turquoise!
ReplyDeleteIt makes that start of our day, come alive gracefully, and easily.
We love it.

Even without it being named the "official" color...I adore turquoise! Great post!
ReplyDeleteI love that it's the color of the year! It's such a happy color too.
ReplyDeleteI love turquoise b/c it makes everything seem so beachy! It's one of my favorite all time colors. The floor is kick ass, agreed. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the turquoise to brighten up a space, but I think I love that red couch on the turquoise floor even more!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree...a touch of turquoise is all you need! These are such great examples!
ReplyDeleteI have always been a huge fan of this color. I'm trying to find a way to incorporate it into our master at the moment!
ReplyDeleteI love it too! but I NEVER would have thought of putting it on the floor... so chic!
ReplyDeleteTurquoise is a great color, but I could easily go with purple one more year too, which I think was last years color - love dark purple!
ReplyDeleteI love the floor painted turquoise, so pretty!
ReplyDeletelove the mirror in the second photo!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the turquoise used on the frames. It automatically makes you want to look at what's inside. It's like a little warm breeze floating down the hall.

ReplyDeleteMy color of the year is blush pink...who knows why? :)

ReplyDeletewhat a lovely shade! and of course i had no idea that it was the color of the year!
ReplyDeletei have some funky blueish turquoise tile in my kitchen (i rent). it is kind of weird, but i like it. and i recently bought some FABULOUS turquoise and green decorative pillows. i am trying to decide how i will make them work somewhere. i will figure it out. FOR SURE! :)
I've always leaned toward turqoise but what I really love are the chandliers in the first room.
ReplyDeleteLove the mirror in room 2 :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE turquoise! I have found myself using it more and more in decorating.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at your blog!
Love your blog! Turquoise is definitely one of my favorite colors.. I find that almost every one of my blog entries has at least one photo containing turquoise. I don't do it on purpose.. I just have so many turquoise things in my house and that catch my eye!
ReplyDeleteLove that painted floor as well.
It's a color I love to see near the beach - it brings the ocean inside. That first pic is my favorite - love turquoise and white!
