Turquoise tile in a modern interior

Decorating a bathroom or kitchen in turquoise tones is a great opportunity to remind yourself of a holiday on the seashore. This shade pleasantly relaxes after work and invigorates in the morning. Turquoise in the decoration of premises today is becoming increasingly popular, displacing from the pedestal a conservative white color and its shades.

Floor and wall ceramic tiles of turquoise color have different properties and characteristics, so they must be used in accordance with these features.

Tiles designed for walls must not be tiled.as its strength qualities are not intended for the weight of household floor equipment and sanitary devices.

It is easy to distinguish the floor tile from the wall version:

• on the materials for the floor on the back is a foot;
• on the wall tile is a hand.

Marking "AA" means that the tile is resistant to chemicals. Such material can be safely cleaned with detergents with any additives.

Choosing a turquoise finish, it is better to stop the choice on the elements of medium size. A standard wall tile of 20x20 cm or 20x30 cm is perfectly combined with a small lining. It is not necessary to use large-size options (60x60 cm and more) in the interior of a small bathroom. Such elements visually divide the room into separate blocks, so it looks smaller.

Large tiles will fit perfectly into the interior of a spacious kitchen, for example, for lining the apron above the work surface.

An interesting design technique (often used today) is the combination of large and medium or medium and small tiles. Such variations allow you to create interesting ornaments and patterns on the surface. Standardly turquoise tile has the shape of a square or rectangle, but you can find round or oval variants in the sale.

Turquoise color is very bright and active. With the finish in these colors you can overdo it. Softening the obsession with the turquoise palette will help interspersing white elements or choosing white as the basis of the decor.

Another good combination is turquoise and gray (silver) color. In addition, turquoise succulence perfectly diluted with a warm beige tone. Such combinations bring maritime themes and some luxury to the interior.

The classic duet is turquoise with a chocolate-brown tint. At the same time, the floor and furniture can be decorated in brown tones, and the facing of the walls is given to the turquoise. A rather cold gamut of turquoise will be softened by the warmth of chocolate, making the interior cozy and original.

A small design secret: combining a turquoise color with a warmer tone (chocolate, beige, sandy), it is better to have a rich color scheme in the upper part of the wall covering, then the space will not look heavy and “pale on the head” with a dark palette. As noted above, it’s easy to overdo it with a turquoise tile, so you shouldn’t veneer the whole bathroom or kitchen. If you still want to maintain the interior in such colors, choose a tile with a dull, and diluted with white color.

The most unfortunate combination is a shade of turquoise with black and red. Rich turquoise will not overlap with equally rich palettes. Visually, such a room will seem excessively variegated and disharmonious.

It is extremely rare to use turquoise tiles for flooring, but a kitchen apron in this color version is a good solution in any interior style. Turquoise harmonizes with:

• with natural materials;
• elements of classic luxury - wood, brass, gilding;
• with details of a contrasting white and beige shade.

By varying the turquoise hues, you can create a kitchen in the style of moderate classics to extravagant modern. The turquoise-tiled interior has a special charm - it attracts attention, but does not look vulgar,it is equally good to relax in the evenings and to wake up in the morning.

The tile of turquoise color - the successful decision for design of a bathroom. They are suitable in moderate volumes and for the kitchen, for example, when facing the work area apron. This material is combined with wood and dark, and light wood, luxurious look with gilded fittings, modest and discreet looks on a silver background.
