What are the shades
The color palette is multifaceted. It presents many shades. All of them were born from a mixture of restrained blue and natural green. Turquoise, sea green, peacock blue, pacific, the color of the Cypriot breeze, sea depth, lapis, the blue pagoda - the options for the color of the sea wave simply do not count.

The choice of certain shades depends on the taste and preferences of the inhabitants of the house. For some, the sea is associated with a static blue surface. For others, this is the continuous movement of waves and foam spray. Therefore, the color of the sea wave is different for everyone. Someone like lake blue, someone dark turquoise or deep Atlantic.
Stylistic directions for color.
The color of the sea wave is universal. He will find a worthy place in any interior. In some, it can act as a noble background, others inlaid with restrained, calm accents. It will admirably decorate not only marine and Mediterranean decorations, but also any other decisions - from traditional to ultramodern. Deep and alluring color can be used in decoration, in furniture, in accessories. He will give a classic style or art deco nobility, shading luxurious golden nuances and white stucco elements. Pop art or loft will reward with spectacular decor or bright designer furniture.Provence will decorate with discreet elegant accents. High-tech emphasizes the brilliance of metal and the radiance of glass. In the eastern interiors will help curb the riot of colors.
Combination with other colors
The blue-green hue is very fond of neutral "neighbors". It looks advantageous on a gray, white, beige background. The color is not pure and therefore it combines equally well with warm and cold shades. The most popular color combinations of sea waves:
with white - blue-green reveals remarkably when it is shaded with bright whiteness. A picture immediately arises in my memory - a snow-white liner swaying on turquoise waves;
with yellow - the first association is the blue sea and hot sand. What could be more natural and organic than this combination?
with gray - a calm composition that promotes rest and relaxation;
with black - the dosed use of black will not ruin the interior, but will add some playfulness to the color of the sea wave;
with coral - a bright harmony that again sends imagination to the depths of the sea;
with orange - saturate the room with emotions, give brightness and originality.
Combinations with close tones - green, blue, blue fill the room with calm and depth. Contrasting combinations - with bright sunny shades, on the contrary, act as an energy drink. Their intensity can be neutralized by adding light neutral colors.
The effect of lighting on color
The shade of the sea wave has the ability to absorb light. He is able to turn the room on the north side into a gloomy and uncomfortable dwelling that he wants to leave as soon as possible in order to get rid of depressing thoughts. At the same time, he can "cool" the room, flooded with sun, bring freshness and coolness to it. The shade of the sea can distort artificial light, so you should turn to it in rooms with large windows on the well-lit side.Sun-protection barriers - it is better not to use blackout curtains and blinds in such interiors. Replace them with a transparent tulle, and the room will be filled with air and freedom. Artificial lighting should be selected very carefully so as not to turn a beautiful emerald-blue interior into an earthy blue or greenish misunderstanding. It is best to use white light from halogen lamps. He will not change the true shade of decoration. But since these sources are by no means economical, it is better to abandon them in favor of LED lamps. They are variations of warm, cold and neutral shades.
If you wish, you can find lamps in which you can change the nature of the lighting using the remote control - at a distance. The "clip" of the proposed shades of light may include red, blue, turquoise, green.
Room Design
With proper use, the color of the sea wave will decorate the interior of any room in the house. You just need to choose the right color-companions, determine the dosage and location of this picturesque shade.
Living room
Large windows in the common room let in enough light. Therefore, do not be afraid that the hall will turn into a gloomy semi-basement. Shades of cyan can be safely used in the design of walls, in the decoration of furniture and accessories. Blue-green wallpaper with a chocolate pattern, complemented by a beige base, will add luxury to the interior. The combination of a snow-white finish with a splash of turquoise furniture will saturate with freshness. Naturalness will add elements from a natural tree. The shade of the sea looks great in accessories and textiles. Plain blue-green or neutral pillows, rugs, curtains decorated with ultramarine ornaments create a calm optimistic atmosphere. As an accent, you can use photo wallpaper with a 3D image of a spectacular dark turquoise flower.Blue-green wallpaper or paint can be a great tool for zoning space into functional areas. For example, they can provide a place for a home office or a wall of an impromptu dressing room.
To make the room even more cheerful, accessories of lemon, lime or orange color will help.
Bedroom
In the bedroom, sea blue looks great in textile. Turquoise curtains and a bedspread against a background of neutral or chocolate furniture will become a bright decoration of the design. In wall decoration, the color of the sea wave is best used fragmentarily - as a wall decoration over the head of the bed or in decorative niches. You can create a section of the wall allotted for the TV and enclose it in a white frame from moldings. On the ceiling, an ultramarine is appropriate as a central element, framed by a white suspended structure. On a blue-green background, a chandelier with white matte shades will look especially convex and elegant. The ceiling itself against its background will move away, rushing up.
Kitchen
Shades of cyan in the kitchen can be "warmed" using a natural tree. Doors, floor, ceiling beams in light wood colors will fill the blue-green room with rustic coziness and warmth. Dark elements give the interior nobility and rigor. In modern high-tech or minimalist kitchens, neutral shades of blue shade. For example, a snow-white countertop or a beige apron in combination with a turquoise facade. You can refresh the interior if the surface of the headset is combined - with a white top or with multi-colored doors of a fanciful wave-like shape. Light glossy tiles or a checkerboard layout of blue-green and snow-white elements are appropriate on the floor. Sufficient lighting must be provided for each area. The light will be actively absorbed and there is a risk that at dusk the kitchen will turn into a gloomy and uncomfortable closet.The glossy surfaces of facades, ceilings, floor and wall tiles and light transparent curtains will help protect the light from the “gluttonous” ultramarine.

Bathroom
The color of the sea wave in the bathroom is a traditional design option. Against this background, snow-white faience and chrome plumbing looks especially elegant and even festive. Choosing a total ultramarine color of the walls, take care of high-quality lighting.

Azure shades can be used as an accent - tiled decor or accessories. Then the problem of light absorption does not arise. A bright curtain with turquoise flowers and a shaggy mat to match will look great on a light background. You can combine light and dark colors with a tile layout. For example, highlight the blue area along the hanging toilet, sink or bathtub. The floor or ceiling of the bathroom can be decorated in bluish-gray-green. Such a technique will increase the space, create the effect of a bottomless deep sea or an unattainable vault of heaven. The floor with a seabed embedded in a niche under glass or a bulk coating with a 3D image of the sea looks luxurious. To dilute the deep colors, the finish can be supplemented with a mosaic that includes all shades of the color scheme.
Children
In a girl’s room, the color of the sea should be used carefully. For the decoration of walls, only the most delicate whitened tones are suitable. The shade will look great in decor, textiles or elements of furniture filling. Dark turquoise curtains and pillows bordered with a golden edging, a dressing table decorated with a patina, photo frames and a floor lamp will make a bright room elegant and original at the same time.A transparent curtain over the bed and tulle can be kept in the same color, but choose the lightest shades for this. In the boy’s room, the “sea wave” can take pride of place. Especially if you choose a marine theme, English or American style.

Sea waves can splash right on the wall, decorated with photo wallpaper, bedspreads, pillows and curtains with wave-like print. Ultramarine lampshade, table, wardrobes give the room masculinity and courage. The main thing that boys are afraid of is girlish shades. Therefore, in an interior with deep, somewhat harsh and dark walls, the future man will feel much more comfortable than in a delicately turquoise setting. You can dilute the saturation of the sea wave in the boy’s room with the help of equally active colors - terracotta, red, yellow, green, chocolate. For a more relaxed atmosphere, you can use neutral shades - white, beige, gray, natural wood.
Hallway / Entrance
