With the erratic weather we

have been experiencing of late,

it seems the world is finally

recognising the existence

of global warming and the

negative effects it can have

on our lives. As a result of this

growing awareness, people are

embracing the idea of “going

green” in every sense of the

term, from cutting down on

plastic waste, to adding more

greenery to living spaces.

However, the preferred shade

of green as we head towards

the last quarter of the year

is tending towards a darker

hue mixed with a hint of

blue, resulting in a rich and

luscious teal. This sumptuous-

looking colour makes for a

great wall colour if you are

looking to let your accessories

and furniture stand out. It

evokes a cosy and somewhat

decadent feel without the

overpowering presence that

comes with other rich hues,

like mauve or magenta.

the expert says

“teal is a popular colour among homeowners

because it suits those who like either green or

blue. it looks good on the walls or when used

on soft furnishings, curtains or upholstery. teal

also looks good in pictures, which means you

can always get great shots of interiors featuring

a teal background. instead of combining it with

complementary colours, i’d go with contrasting

ones for a lively and energetic feel.”
