Tapis turquoise

A bright sun, a bunch of green mountains and a bobbing fishing boat on an azure sea. A cute little donkey trudging towards a southern village with snow-white houses and sky-blue window frames. Just a few exotic atmospheric images that recur on many a postcard in which that inspiring turquoise colour predominates. If you want to bring that relaxing atmosphere into your home, choose a turquoise rug and send everyone a postcard of your exotic interior.

Because a turquoise rug is a mix of the balanced, calming green and the relaxing, intuition-promoting blue, you can be sure that with turquoise accents in your home, you will be sufficiently unwind. Quite surprising, as the colour appears somewhat popping and refreshing to the eye. As a result, this colour rug can actually work very energetically too.

Turquoise rug: fresh and energetic!

Besides being energetic, a turquoise rug is also very ener-chic! The colour comes from the mineral of the same name, which used to be made into very precious jewellery. When these jewels were shipped from the Middle East, along Turkey to Europe, the term originated. Turkioos, as the colour is also sometimes written, comes from the name of the country 'Turkey'.

This is how to combine a rug turquoise!

OK, all well and good, but how do you best combine a turquoise rug with the rest of your decor? Make the turquoise rug stand out by working with shades of white or grey, clean materials, dark wood and a lot of green plants. Want to create a more cheerful effect? Mixing a turquoise rug with pastel shades will create a cheerful look. Prefer to go all-the-way?
