Have you had the chance to take time from your daily hustle to stop and enjoy the weather? Though quite a few states have seen downpours, most are enjoying spring-like temps and pleasant breezes. We have seen wonderful color trends this season that will certainly continue into summer.

One hue that continues to show amazing potential is aquamarine. Typically associated with summery elements, aqua is a great color to shake up your home. It’s lightweight, breezy and very uplifting. Let’s take a look at how you can make your home more aqua-forward.

Aqua(marine)

  • Calming/Tranquil
  • Peaceful
  • Rumored Healing Powers
  • Strong Connection with Nature
  • Encourages Meditations

 

Use aquamarine…

  • With fresh whites and greens to evoke a summer-forward look
  • Throughout your textiles (patterns are best) for visual interest. Table runners, dish towels and accent pillows are great options
  • Without oversaturating a room as too much can make a room look juvenile
