A Little Bit of Aqua







It seems I am inspired by touches of aqua. Scrolling through my picture files I notice I have lately saved quite a few aqua interiors as inspiration. I thought I would share a few with you.

  4. It seems this is the new IT color for time being, I have seen it pop up everywhere. I must say, it is always so refreshing, I love turquoise/gold or turquoise/black and white combinations.
    Have you seen the blog www.houseofturquoise.com? You should have a look, she collects all things turquoise...beautiful!

  11. Aqua is one of my favorite colors to use in interiors. That last photo is seriously making me consider painting my front door that color...

  12. I just painted the ceiling in my office aqua. It's such a relaxing color and coordinates so nicely with many other hues. It really could be considered a neutral. Great pictures!

  13. I know I am incorporating some aquas & turquoise into my decor, some of the shades are very soft & soothing; some are very bright.

  16. My girlfriend's entire house has touches of aqua and it is wonderful. At no place in the house is there a large piece of color but instead it is in small amounts but does get noticed. Her home always seems "fresh."

  21. Wow! I had know idea how pretty aqua would look in just the right amount. Thanks for giving me a new color to adore. :)

  22. I love, love, love the aqua touches. Very beachy and elegant at the same time. And the black and white sofa: very clever the way the box on the cushion is not matched is very cool. I think I'll have to try that on a slipcover one of these days. Thanks for the inspiration!

  25. I think that the color of the front door was an incredible idea. So simple -yet-does so much for the interior. A nice little surprise.

  30. Very cool to have an acqua colour for the front door! All the images are lovely, though. I do like ocean-inspired colours.

  31. I love this colour , am thinking about it for a feature wall in my room the other main colours are white , chocolate and red. Turqoise has such an amazing quality that it can brighten a room so much yet be so calming and soothing in a space at the same time .
    I am an interior design student and only recently started reading your blogs after my dad saved the section of the newspaper where your blog was featured a few months ago , I love your style it is so bright and fun yet still manages to be so elegant.
    Thank you for your inspiration

  36. Appreciate the aqua as an emerging trend. I would love to see examples of aqua and brown and decorated ceilings, (they sometimes get ignored, don't they?)
