If you can’t decide between blue and green, take the stress out of selecting a signature paint colour and go with turquoise. This stunning shade brings together elements of both, although this dramatic colour family offers plenty of variety. 

Some shades lean closer to blue with intense notes of indigo, while others are altogether greener. Any turquoise tone will bring a level of tranquillity to your spaces, making it easy to create a calming interior. 

Muted turquoise works well in large rooms that might feel washed out if you play it safe with a cool-toned neutral. You can also use turquoise as a statement colour, with saturated shades a terrific choice for a feature wall.

Empty Wine Glass

If you’re not quite ready for an intense turquoise, go with something more muted like Empty Wine Glass instead. A contemporary alternative to pale pastel paint colours, this subdued turquoise will bring new life to a smaller space. 

You can use it on its own if you’re keen to keep your palette pared-back, but you can also combine it with more arresting shades. Try using vibrant blues and intense greys if you’re keen to take a tonal approach in a larger space. 

Just because you’re using a more muted shade of turquoise, doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice colour intensity. Tvt K367 combines the blue-green qualities of turquoise with a hint of teal, making for a subdued hue that still packs a real punch. 

You can use this paint colour to turn an unloved lounge into a luxurious living room you can be proud of. Use it as an all-wall shade if you’d prefer to keep your palette simple, or play around with cool-toned neutrals to add depth to your interiors. 

Looking for a low-key turquoise that leads with green? How about Tvt K441? This shade is a stunning choice for a more contemporary home, pairing nicely with cool-toned hues and timeless neutrals like grey. 

Looking for a single colour you can use to transform an entire living space or reception room? This turquoise is the ideal choice. However, it will also work incredibly well when paired with green and blue accents. To bring some zen energy to your interiors, try using a seafoam green. For a more refreshing aesthetic upgrade, try bringing minty blues into the mix. 

Have you been searching high and low for the perfect shade of turquoise? Look no further than Tvt L365. A brilliant balance of green and blue, this paint colour has that illuminating intensity that only the best turquoise hues deliver. 

It’s a great pick for modern interiors, with this vibrant shade bringing essential energy to your spaces. If you’re happy to drench your rooms in colour, use it freely on every wall and stick to pure white when taking care of the little details. Alternatively, use easygoing green shades and blue-toned neutrals to add depth to your colour schemes. 

Not every shade of turquoise has to overwhelm the senses. If you’re thinking about a more muted hue, try Tvt L364. There's more blue than green here, but this paint colour won’t leave your rooms feeling cool when used on your walls. In fact, it will bring boundless energy to any space you use it in. 

This shade works brilliantly in high-ceilinged living rooms with hardwood floors. To elevate the character of your room, think about introducing copper accents or hints of gold. Can’t decide on an accent colour? Monochromes are a good choice. Go with a single shade of grey or take things to the next level with a combination of brilliant black and cool-toned white. 

Where Do Turquoise Paint Colours Work Best?

If turquoise shades are turning your head, don’t be afraid to use them on any wall. If your current bedroom decor veers close toward chaos, bring some calm to your sleep space with a toned-down turquoise hue. Not sure how much paint to use in a smaller space? If you’re decorating a compact bedroom, a low-key neutral with yellow undertones will work incredibly well alongside an intense turquoise feature wall. 

You can also use turquoise in the living room. As it’s incredibly versatile, turquoise can be used to paint every surface, without you having to worry about it clashing with your furniture choices. This gem of a colour works well with vintage hardwoods, contemporary metal and much more besides. 

Do you want to create a more playful palette in the dining room? A rich turquoise works beautifully alongside something like coral pink. If you’re planning a more luxurious redesign, turquoise also shines when used alongside metallics.
