HOW TO USE TEAL IN YOUR HOME - THIS YEAR'S TRENDIEST COLOUR
That’s right – teal is totally in. This year’s top-trending colour is none other than this vivid blue-green hue, not to be mistaken with turquoise.
Teal has quickly become the shade-to-watch thanks to its heavenly mix of both blue and green tones.
This means it brings the best of both colours, with green representing growth and healing, working alongside the calming properties of blue.
Unlike turquoise which leans more towards green with a brighter tint, teal has a moodier blue undertone,
making it a real statement shade to breathe life into any room.
But how can you incorporate such a prominent colour into your space? How can you decorate with teal? What colours complement teal?
This isn’t any neutral shade, which can make it seem intimidating for some.
Well, with the right eye for complementary shades, shapes and textures, using teal is as easy as ever.
To make things even easier, we’ve created this quick guide on how to use teal in your home.
We’ve curated some of our most popular pieces, from teal cushions to artworks, to give you all the inspiration you need to bring teal to life in your space.
Cosy Corner
Sometimes it’s a simple as an accent here and there. When using teal in interior design, you don’t have to go all-out with a feature wall.
Take things slow with a few statement pieces that draw the eye across the room and bring out neutral shades.
Speaking of neutrals, these are the ideal tones you’ll want to pair with teal.
They won’t overpower the deep blue-green hue, and instead bring a sense of cosiness, mixed in with a breath of fresh air thanks to the pop of colour.

Timid Teal
Still not sold on the shade? It’s certainly possible to go a little more subtle when incorporating this trend into your space.
It’s all about using more of a delicate touch, which means using teal in a way where it isn’t quite the standout shade

It’s still there, but enveloped in soft colours, making it standout in a more restrained way.
Make this possible with an artwork or two featuring a multicolour palette, with other colours such as brown, peach, black and beige.
Again, opt for neutral shades here when it comes to the rest of your décor.

Moody Teal
Lean into the moody undertones of teal with some complementary deep shades. Much as the name implies, this trend is all about bringing some moodiness into your space.
This creates more depth and character within the room, whilst adding a sense of sophistication with such dark accents.
It’s bold and it’s soothing, bringing an element of comfort you just can’t quite get with lighter tones.
The great thing about teal is that it’s able to handle these deeper shades, since it already contains quite deep blue-green tones within itself.

Soft Teal
Teal is as versatile a shade as they come, able to fit itself in with soft and fluffy shades such as crisp whites, beiges, and dreamy rose pink.
At it’s most complementary, teal actually works best with colours within the red or orange family, due to its position opposite those fiery tones on the colour wheel.
This means you can effortlessly incorporate it with anything pink, yellow, orange or red, as they all complement this seafoam shade.
Here we’re again going the subtle route, but this time a little more adventurous with the addition of warm rosy pink hues that soften everything out.

You can really have some fun here by bringing these two pops of colour into your home, but you’re still remaining quite understated.
The simple addition of a candle, vessel or cushion is enough to do the trick – but you can always go a little bigger with a series of artworks upon the wall.
