The design world is moving away from neutrals to more colorful options these days. Instead of browns, off-whites, and beiges, homeowners and designers are starting to embrace pinks, greens, and blues, among other colors. However, with so many choices, it can be confusing to know which direction to go with your living room colors. If you want something cheerful and serene, teal might be the perfect color to add to your walls.
Teal is a combination of two popular options – blues and greens. It was a bold choice in the 80’s and 90’s, but the modern trend shows that it can also be muted and demure. These softer forms are great for creating a serene living room without having to resort to neutrals.

Like its parent colors, teal can be as muted or bold as you’d like. To create a more calming, serene vibe in your living room, adding a touch of gray is one of the best ways to go. Most paint companies have a similar color or you can easily mix your own custom teal and gray blend.
Though teal is an excellent backdrop for your living room, figuring out how to style it with other furniture and decor can be a bit intimidating. But it’s actually a lot simpler than it sounds. Teal works well with rich emeralds, warm caramels, and soothing pinks, so you don’t have to worry too much about creating the perfect color scheme.
