Teal – The Color of Autumn
Elegant or powerful – anything is possible
Teal conjures up a touch of elegance in your living environment. A sense of well-being comes easy in the presence of the teal-colored sofa "Grata" by Rolf Benz. Its upholstery boasts lounge-like softness for unparalleled comfort, and it lets a sense of calm and relaxation set in. While it’s very casual, it puts real personality on display. The sofa’s gracefully-curved sitting surface and piping that was executed with consummate skill will reap admiring glances. This furniture line is available in three seat widths, two seat heights, two side-section heights and comes with sofa foot options in shiny chrome or black varnish.
The teal chair is something of an eternal classic. "Serie 7 Stuhl" was developed in 1955 by designers Arne Jacobsen and Fritz Hansen, Teal-dyed ash wood, chrome-plated, 46.5 cm.
The round ceiling lamps "La Grande Enorme" with 6 lights each were created by Reinhard Dienes for Anthologie Quartett.
Teal as a wall color
Be it teal green or teal blue, this trendy color always has a classy and intense effect. Teal is wonderful in combination with grey, yellow, red, green, white or black. Brass or copper accessories and furniture look fabulous silhouetted against a teal wall because the golden shimmer offers a warm contrast to the cool wall color. It gives rooms a delicate touch of elegance.
Bold shades of teal have a soothing and pleasant effect that is ideally suited for bedrooms. An accent wall in teal – the wall behind your bed, for example – will prevent the room from looking too dark. Teal green or teal blue – these bold and intense trendy hues are perfect in combination with grey, yellow, white or green.
As a wall color, teal is not just extraordinary; it can even create a cozy atmosphere. Light teal tones used as wall color generate a natural contrast to light furniture and light wood flooring. Dark teal can look very dominant on walls and thus demands a light companion. When planning the decor, be sure to add radiant yellow accessories such as bed covers, decorative pillows, fleecy area rugs, bed linens or paintings. Or try golden ocher – the color of the year. Another color that is very popular nowadays is grey. Understated and subtle, it complements teal’s cool effect very nicely. Trendy teal’s classy, self-confident look is truly enchanting. Teal’s color palette ranges from dark to bold blue and green tones, variously profound or cheerful in character and either serious or cheerful in effect.
What can teal be matched with?
Teal is lovely with muted and quiet natural tones – and even black. Medium to light-brown leather furniture looks classy with teal, which also gives retro-style furniture a serious touch. Redwood furniture and accessories look particularly classy in close proximity to teal. Classic black makes teal look delicate and subdued. Teal paired with white accessories gives the room glimmers of light.
Combining teal with bold accessories of all color accents works well too. A yellow vase or yellow sunflower silhouetted against a teal background is a fabulous attention-getter. Whether teal blue or teal green – either color offers a wonderful contrast to bold red and adds a special dynamic to any room. Grass green or dark blue (in all their color variations) are from the same color family and offer the ideal complement.
If you prefer a more discreet, subdued look, choose any kind of grey tone, white or black as a foil for teal.
Effect of teal as a color and its significance in feng shui
Teal is associated with the element of water and also represents autumn. The month of November is thus perfect for this color. Looking at teal, the first thing you notice is its calming, soothing effect. The heart rate and pulse slow down, our breathing becomes deeper, our mind clears up and we are able to let go. A decidedly elegant and profound color, depending on its main focus, teal simulates thought (teal blue) but can also have a friendly, natural, unaffected and genuine effect (teal green).
