Using summer in your home
Use Summer colors in bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, coastal bedrooms, and exterior accents. North light makes turquoise and blue read cooler. South light brightens Aqua and keeps the color lively. Pair with crisp white, sandy beige, rattan, navy, coral, or pale wood. The warning is theme drift. Too much turquoise with shells and white furniture can look staged, so add one grounded neutral.
