What Color Walls Move With Teal & Brown?

The wall color in a space with teal and brown pendant can turn this land-and-sea duo to a scheme that is vividly pronounced or gently reserved — it is up to you. Choose the walls’ color by matching your style preferences to the room’s function, whether it is a space for sleeping, socializing, sauteing or imprisoned.

A Bright Kitchen

A kitchen in snappy colors kick-starts your culinary adventures and revs your own appetite. Use a high-contrast wall color as the catalyst for this kind of daring design. On the color wheel, across from cool blue-green sit warm pink, red and coral hues. Select from these warm shades to fit your preference, but keep your choice in accord with this teal’s balance degree — vivid pink with bright teal, like. For balance, the wall color should not overshadow or look washed-out by blue-green dishware, tea towels and canisters. Espresso, walnut or mid-brown pine cabinets or furniture help to stabilize or anchor the room’s sass.

Coolness in the Bedroom

It’s no secret that cool colors relax the senses, making them suitable in the bedroom. Cocoon the room with light blue or light green walls for a small contrast behind pale teal components, using textured fabric or paint wallpaper. Varied textures keep a cool-colored space from appearing flat or stark. A pale-brown rug warms your toes and enhances walls, teal-on-white bedding, a white bedside table topped with a classic teal-tinged mason jar of baby’s breath sprigs, along with other white and soft-teal accents throughout. Lush, lined, velour drapes in light brown tie into the ground and prevent daylight on day-off mornings.

The Social Setting

Should you believe brownish a dated shade, then introduce it to grey. Silvery-gray walls behind overstuffed brown furniture is an uncommon but tempering mixture. A greige (gray-beige) rug with a brown and gray pattern makes sense of this color pairing. Contemporary teal cushions, watery-colored stained-glass art and teal-colored hydrangeas jump out from their neutral-colored environment. Bright yellow curtains and a couple of sunny-yellow touches spike the space with much more modernity.

Welcome With Color

The entryway gives guests their first glimpse of your house, therefore make a welcoming impression by keeping it tidy and airily coloured. Pure white walls, though bright, can be too stark, but tinged with buttery yellow, they offset a brownish coat rack, wood flooring, teal-tinged sheers and an antique or distressed teal-painted dresser and attached mirror — yes, you can use dressers in rooms aside from bedrooms. It’s not about your visitors, however; a good-looking entrance welcomes you, too, every time you return home.
