Aqua Decorating

From Retro and Vintage, Cottage to Modern,

Beach to Hollywood Regency,

Mediterranean and Moroccan,

let us meet the versatile blue green hue

which colours water - AQUA.

Accessories add character

 Is it Green, or is it blue? Being on the cool side of the spectrum, it turns down the heat in summers and makes small spaces appear larger- perfect for the bayside. Nothing emphasises the magic of coastal living like splashes of aqua in décor pieces, accent walls, cushions, towels, tiles, lamps. Against a background of white or off-white and a mixture of natural materials and fibres, aqua really pops. A perfect example of this is Thea and Sami Aqualicious Fretwork fabric shown here.

Not Surprisingly, aqua can give a retro feel to spaces because many vintage items from the 40s to 70s have hints of aqua. Can you remember this? The Hollywood Regency style used plush aqua in furnishing fabrics, wallpaper, sometimes with pink and black!! – very dramatic and lux.

Dark Furniture mixes beautifully with aqua, relieving the deep colour in the furniture. This is very useful in lounges and bedrooms.

In Mediterranean style, you can combine mandarin orange and vibrant aqua (on the blue side)- a popular pair this summer.
