How to Decorate in Teal Green

Plan your room's color scheme. Decide which colors bring out the mood you want to achieve. Match cream and ivory, chocolate and taupe or black and dark gray for a somber appearance with teal. Use white, bright yellows and bold blues for an airy, summerlike ambiance.

Decide how you want to use teal. Because the hue is so bold, consider incorporating teal in signature items, with accent pieces or as a one-wall pop of color.

Arrange the room for balance. If you use teal to bring out a little color through accessories, then use several pieces throughout the room to add continuity. Including teal throw pillows, a blanket, artwork and pottery adds small hints of this bold color within a room.

Create a bold statement with your walls. Paint one wall a bright teal hue, and paint the rest of the walls an off-white color. Tie in the teal wall with accessories or a piece of furniture in a matching color.

Incorporate teal in a border or wallpaper of a child's room or other playful area to infuse a sense of excitement. Pick a paper that has a simple, bold pattern for best effect. Match light pastel colors such as white, pink and light blue to counteract the paper's statement.
