I want to paint my room turquoise ,but i also want to put designs on the walls.any ideas?

I think you should make absolutely sure that you use a shade of turquoise that is not too dark, so the designs stand out more. Also make sure that the paint is matte, not glossy, so if you decide to put glossy designs on the wall, it will seem like they are jumping out of the paint. Turquoise is a mixture of blue and green, so in your designs try and use many colours that are opposite turquoise on the colour wheel, i.e. anything between orange and purple; this will improve contrast between the turquoise background and the design.I want to paint my room turquoise ,but i also want to put designs on the walls.any ideas?

I would paint it turquoise if I were you then try to find some decorations that stick on the wall. I think that black would look the best, but just go with small designs. Pictures and framed posters on the wall make it look very organized and mature. If you have any more questions feel free to email me :)
Turqoise is a very strong color, you should consider a pastell version of this color and use accents of tan, white, gold, brown and silver. Opt for a very girly shabby-chic vintage feel with chipped white painted furniture, crisp white linens and sand floor accents. Use the turqiouse color in your pillows, trims, art work and other small accents.

For decals on the walls, I suggest a white,shiny golden, or tan colored bohemian design .

have fun!
if i were you i would paint the walls in a matte finish of turquoise. then, take the same color but in a semi-gloss finish and paint stripes or circles or whatever pattern you like. that way, it looks cool, but it wont be too crazy, since turquoise already packs a punch on its own :)
contact paper.


It's the thing you use to line cabinets but it's awesome on walls. it's easy to remove too. you can cut out your own designs.
are you asking how to put designs on the wall, or what kind of designs? Seashells and an ocean motif would work well with turquoise.
you can use painters tape to make designs,
paint the room than put a bit of designs on top of the torqouise
put designs about nature on the walls
my favorite color!


umm, add stars %26amp; waves %26amp; all that good stuff.
