Color Trend: Turquoise and Lime

I've been loving the pops of turq and lime for a while.. so it's about time that I make a post about it! The colors feel so fresh and bright! I love them off of a white background. This kitchen is one of Jonathan Adler's recent designs -- I just love him! What's so great about this space is that the color is in the accessories. If you begin to crave a new color scheme, it just needs a simple update!This room is an old Domino favorite. I'm guessing most of you have seen it before, but how could I not include it?! I love the vintage feeling of the couch! And the "kate spade green" window treatments are lovely! (I generally tend towards neutral curtains, but I just adore these here! Against a neutral wall and white trim , they are gorgeous!)I wish I was gutsy enough to do a design like this! I've been seeing a lot of turquoise in the kitchen... are the 50's coming back?!

It may just be the quality of the picture, but I wish this green were just a bit brighter, a little more yellow - but otherwise this kitchen looks like fun!
A globe is a perfect way to compliment this color scheme!
This pic and the next one don't have any green, but I like them anyways! Mod is so fun sometimes!Cute lamps!

  3. I'm really into turquoise, but I never think of it with lime green. Nice collection of photos. I actually hadn't seen the Domino picture!

  6. I love turquoise and I love lime green -- and the two together is even better!! You posted some fabulous rooms -- the first kitchen and the kitchen with the turquoise floor are my favourites.

    If I ever find a plant that has an amazing anti-frizz serum, I will definitely let you know!! I could use a plant like that myself!! :-)

  7. I love these. I wish I could put colors together like that. It just doesn't work in my brain. Oh well, that makes me enjoy it all the more when some other brilliant person can do it. :)

  12. This post has really inspired me- particularly as I love the colour green. I am going to look for some lime cushions for the house for that pop of colour and if I can find them turquoise bathmats against my black slate floor.

  13. Love the lime prints in JA's kitchen and I'm with you - I wish the sage green in the last kitchen was painted lime... or chartreuse

  15. I would never have thought to combine these two colors but they certainly go well together! Very happy combination.
