Turquoise Bliss

Okay this is officially pastel week at theLENNOXX. Take a look at this yummy turquoise, white and black living room:
*
According to Supreme designer Dianne Ross where I discovered this little gem, the wallpaper was once available at York Wallcoverings. I scoured their wallpapers (twice might I add) and could only find other color alternatives.
*
Benjamin Moore Cool Aqua looks to be a good paint alternative. I have a suspicion this color would look way dark in an ill lit room, but super fab in a room with as much daylight as this one. If you remember this post where I wrote about the importance of white in the blue/yellow relationship, I will argue that this also holds for turquoise. Have you ever noticed that a turquoise room looks either super fantastic or simply horrifying? The latter is always due to the lack of white (in my opinion)! If you don’t believe me, google “turquoise room”! And if you disagree, don’t be afraid to set me straight ;)

OMG — turquoise… mirrored tables… zebra… PERFECTION!!!
You’re right about blue & turquoise, it’s so easy for them to look totally bad and wrong. Although I think it’s hard to get turquoise wrong when you combine it with black & white :-)

I also love turquoise, and the mirrored tables they are so cool!

No, I totally agree. I have seen some horrific ones, they look like a rest home in Boca, no thank you! I also think that edginess and shiny black is important in a turquoise room, just to keep it from being too frilly. Nice pics! XO!

I love this room! That great advice about the white. I never thought about it before but that does make or break a color combo!

I think you are right. I love a lot of white with any strong wall color, though.
