Glam, feminine and completely turquoise! Bedroom design by Margaret Donaldson.

Turquoise is the order of the day in this decadent glamorous design, we see it in various shades on the headboard of the bed, the bedspread, the curtains, the settee and even the ceiling. Other ultra feminine touches are seen in the use of gold and silver accents, damask patterns and velvet fabrics.

Large colonial windows flood the bedroom in natural light. A lovely room idea for a teenage girl or any girl for that matter!

I am always a fan of turquoise, that is why you will see so much of it here on this site. This color connects the heart to the mind, it evokes feelings of peace and tranquility and is very refreshing.

In this kitchen, the turquoise in combination with the pure white creates an almost angelic color scheme that is very unique when combined with the glossy, edgy, sleek modern lines of the cabinets and fit outs.

Gorgeous bright colored bedroom in turquoise and aubergine. The bedspread is a sarong from Bali, think of all the beautiful sarongs and scarves you come across with all the exquisite colors, patterns and textures you can play with. Now you can re-purpose these to create beauty in your bedroom.

The reflective tranquillity of turquoise, white and purple is ideal for the bedroom.

Ikat Chairs

Bring a unique and colorful element into your space with chairs covered in Ikat fabric. Ikat is a dying technique that has made a big resurgence in fashion and decor lately. It is an old technique much like tie-dying, but it works like this:

Bindings, which resist dye penetration, are applied to the threads in the desired patterns and the threads are dyed. Alteration of the bindings and the dyeing of more than one color produce elaborate, multicolored patterns. When all of the dyeing is finished the bindings are removed and the threads are ready to be woven into cloth.
The defining characteristic of ikat is the dyeing of patterns, by means of bindings, into the threads before cloth construction, the weaving of the fabric, takes place. Herein lies the difference between ikat and tie-dye. In tie-dye the fabric is woven first and the resist bindings are then applied to the fabric which is dyed.

Ikat patterns combine well with black and white geometric patterns, you can see the use of the geometric patterns in the rugs in most of these inspirational pictures.
