Ive been thinking about this for so long. I already had gone to the stores to see various swatches. Lately, i decided that i should be choosing the right palette. Its on my mind and i was so excited for it.
"Turquoise is a warm hue that goes great with just about any color. Depending on your design, I would try a chocolate brown, orange, yellow, or a cream/beige color. You can even throw in some dark purple, or for a more exciting combo, a lime green."
The town fiesta is coming so i decided that i should retouch my nest by repainting which is much cheaper than a total makeover. Conservative that i was, I opt for a golden yellow for my living room and a bolder red color for the dining since im creating an asian inspired home. But lately, i noticed that my style was not concentrated on traditional asian style but more of a tropical asian. Aside from that, since my living area is not as big as i wanted it to be, painting it with a darker color will make it smaller though a golden yellow and red will be a perfect match.
So now, i reconsider my option of painting my nest with a lighter color. Though now painted in cream, i have to look for other colors which will totally change the look from dull and boring to refreshing and hip. Btw, i will not replace the color of my cabinet which is brown, green and orange (though this is terracotta according to the code) so this will be another consideration. The dilemma is, to find a perfect match to this three colors. Headache!!!
First is to consider using various tones of greens, well this would work as expected. But, green is a little bit boring to me because my exterior is already green and i also have many plants at home so green will be overwhelming.
So i was on deep thinking. I was asking myself on my favorite colors, foods that i wanted to eat, on the place where i wanted to be. Ok, ok...tropical, yeah i like tropics, i like plants, i like ferns, so green is checked, i like wood and earthy so brown is checked, i like fruits, citrusy and lemony so orange is checked, and how about the sea, the water, the sky, so where are the blues? And voila!!!
Ok, so now that i have a decided to incorporate the blue on my tropical asian, i have to decide on the tones of blue. Well darker blues are out so its the lighter and warmer blues. And something popped out on my mind, turquiose! My birthstone, my color!
"Turquoise is a warm hue that goes great with just about any color. Depending on your design, I would try a chocolate brown, orange, yellow, or a cream/beige color. You can even throw in some dark purple, or for a more exciting combo, a lime green."Well, i think a combination of turquoise and olive green will work wonders on my living room and dining. And its definite, its my new color.
And of course, im searching the net if i can find rooms that have my color palette in it. I havent found one. But i know its gonna be great.
But after i opened this blog and saw the pic below the blog title, i said to myself, i should have not looked for somewhere else, its on my blog already, i had chose it on the very first time i created my blog!
Btw, heres an example of a turquoise living room. Enjoy!
