A new year brings new trends and judging by what the team at BedNest HQ are reading on the web and in magazines, the colour spectrum for 2014 will be heavily dominated by turquoise. This has certainly got us all a little excited….

What’s not to love about turquoise? It’s wonderfully versatile – it has both warm and cold undertones which means that that it pretty much works with any colour (yes, even yellows and oranges).  When teamed with white, it can bring to a room a calm beach vibe (think Mediterranean) or it can be incredibly glamorous – especially (and this is when I really do get excited) in bolder hues set against metallic and/or black (or, if you are feeling brave, animal print).

This is an image the team spotted on elledecor.com.  I love the way the bold turquoise walls really “sing” against the tan and cream furnishings: 

Here are some other images we thought would inspire you - just look at the way turquoise brings energy and vibrancy to a space.  Wow factor indeed!

A classic combo - the soft grey wallpaper is the perfect backdrop for these turquoise curtains:

I LOVE the chandelier in this shot.  It really brings the colours in the room together – and bright that it is, the space still manages to convey a sense of peacefulness that is quite magical:

Stunning in velvet, these bedheads work brilliantly in this children’s room:

 

And of course we had to throw in one of our own….our darling Paddo  in Husk linen:

 

Got you inspired? Excited even? We are!
