Decorating with Turquoise

In case you don't actively live in the world of color, we are thrilled to announce that Pantone's Color of the Year for 2010 is TURQUOISE! What a beautiful color - evoking relaxing images of a tranquil ocean, while adorning both women and men in fabulous jewelry.

Another great use of turquoise is in the home, whether you opt for bold paint on the walls or just a few touches here and there.

Notice the center picture of a living space. The designer has done a great job of bringing in various shades of turquoise without overpowering the room. Special touches emphasize unique pieces of furniture and accessories, while the extended palette helps keep things neutral.
