Turquoise, sea green, peacock-blue, Pacific, the color of the Cyprian breeze, the sea depth, the lapis, the blue pagoda - there is simply no bill for the variants of the color of the sea wave. Transparent and saturated, greenish or leaving in deep blue these tones provide immeasurable scope for creativity. The choice of these or those shades depends on the taste and preferences of the inhabitants of the house. For some, the sea is associated with a static blue smoothness. For others, this is the continuous movement of waves and foamy sprays. Therefore, the color of the sea wave has its own. Some like lake-blue, someone is dark-turquoise or deep Atlantic.

Effect of lighting on color

The tint of the sea wave has the ability to absorb light. He is able to turn a room on the north side into a gloomy and uncomfortable dwelling, which you want to quickly leave to get rid of depressive 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 refer to it in rooms with large windows on a well-lit side. Sun protection - dense curtains and blinds in such interiors should be avoided. 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 desired, you can find fixtures in which you can change the nature of lighting using the remote control - at a distance. The "clip" of the proposed shades of light can include red, blue, turquoise, green.

In the decoration of the walls, the color of the sea wave is better to use fragmentarily - as a decoration of the wall above the head of the bed or in decorative niches. You can draw a section of the wall allocated for the TV and enclose it in a white frame of moldings. On the ceiling, the ultramarine is appropriate as a central element framed by a white suspended structure. On a blue-green background, the chandelier with white frosted shades will look particularly prominent and elegant. The ceiling itself on its background will move away, rushing to the sky.

The doors, the floor, the ceiling beams in the colors of light wood fill the blue-green room with countryside comfort and warmth. Dark elements give the interior nobility and rigor. In modern kitchens, high-tech styles or minimalism of blue are shaded by neutral shades. For example, white table top or beige apron in combination with a turquoise facade. Refresh the interior can be if the surface of the headset will be combined - with a white top or with colorful doors of a quaint wave-like shape. On the floor is appropriate light glossy tile or chess layout of blue-green and snow-white elements. Sufficient lighting should be provided for each zone. Light will be actively absorbed and there is a risk that in the twilight the kitchen will turn into a gloomy and uncomfortable storage room. Maximally protect the light from the "gluttonous" ultramarine glossy surfaces of facades, ceiling, floor and wall tiles and light transparent curtains will help.

A large mirror with LED backlighting on the contour will serve well and help solve the problem of filling the space with light. Azure shades can be used as an accent - tile decor or accessories. Then the problem of light absorption will not arise. A bright curtain with turquoise colors and a shaggy mat in tone will look great on a light background. You can combine light and dark colors with a tiled layout. For example, highlight the blue zone along the hanging toilet, sink or bath. The floor or ceiling of the bathroom can be decorated in a bluish-gray-green color. Such a technique will increase the space, create the effect of a bottomless sea depth or inaccessible celestial vault.

In the girl's room, the color of the sea should be used carefully. To finish the walls, only the most delicate bleached tones will do. The shade will look great in decor, textiles or elements of furniture filling. Dark turquoise curtains and pillows bordered with golden edging, a dressing table decorated with patina, photo frames and a floor lamp will make a bright room both smart and original. A transparent curtain over the bed and tulle can be held in the same color, but choose the lightest shades for this. In the boy's room, the "sea wave" can take an honorable place. Especially if you choose a marine theme, English or American style. Blue-green shelves, blankets, pillows, a chair-bag perfectly fit into the cabin of a seasoned sailor and stylish teenager. Sea waves can splash directly on the wall, decorated with photo wallpapers, bedspreads, cushions and curtains with a wavy print. Ultramarine lampshade, table, wardrobes give the room a manhood and courage. The main thing that boys are afraid of is girlish shades. Therefore, in an interior with deep, somewhat sharp and dark walls, the future man will feel much more comfortable than in a gently turquoise environment. Dilution of the saturation of the sea wave in the boy's room can be done with equally active paints - terracotta, red, yellow, green, chocolate. For a quieter environment, you can use neutral shades - white, beige, gray, the color of natural wood.

Corridor / Entrance hall

Choosing the shade for the decoration of the walls of the hallway, you need to consider the following points:

• the size of the room - the blue-green walls "steal" from the small corridor the lion's share of space. You can correct the situation with white furniture, mirrors and good lighting;
• whether the room is combined with a room or separated by walls - the coloring of the open entrance hall by the color of the sea wave will visually separate it from the room, and bring it to a separate zone. Closed space is better to decorate in light shades;
• number of lighting devices - the brighter the light, the greater the freedom to use dark tones.

Carpets so beckon, inviting to plunge into their impenetrable depth. An unusual decoration of the bedroom or hallway may be a bag or shoes of the color of the sea wave, as if accidentally forgotten in the corner. The dining room or kitchen will be revived with dishes, napkins, candles in turquoise colors. In the cooking zone, towels and potholders will look great in the same shades.
