The most boring room design is easy to save by adding an unusual color element that attracts attention. You can play in contrasts or choose a bright rich shade that emphasizes the sophistication of the classic or the pretentiousness of the modern interior. Any room will be revived by a turquoise sofa, which is simply impossible not to notice. And it doesn’t matter if they were selected taking into account the general palette and style decision or simply added a “bright spot” to the finished design of the room - such furniture will look spectacular anyway.

Color features

Tiffany, Persian green, moray eel, aquamarine, mint - all this is an incomplete list of shades of turquoise. For a long time he was undeservedly forgotten by designers of furniture and interiors. But today, color is at the peak of popularity.

Feng Shui considers turquoise the embodiment of wealth, luxury. In addition, it is the color of the east - the turquoise furniture elements placed in this part of the apartment will attract money.

Turquoise is a combination of green and blue. As for the first component - this is the color of calm. The interior, designed in such tones, relaxes after a busy day, helps to escape from worries. Blue is associated with an endless summer sky, it is considered a symbol of purity, peace. Like green, it helps to find peace, get rid of irritability, fatigue. Designers often use both colors in interior design: blue “pushes” the space, and green is comfortable for visual perception.

Turquoise has incorporated all the advantages of both shades. The color is interesting in that, depending on the lighting, either blue or green prevails in it. This feature allows you to refresh a room by simply rearranging it. For example, a turquoise sofa, located against the wall, will sparkle with blue shades, and if it is rearranged closer to the light, the room will be filled with emerald overflows. Often, the effect of novelty can be achieved without even moving the furniture - it is enough to supplement the ottoman with a dark decorative pillow, as the sea wave "responds" with rich green shades.

Interestingly, at the subconscious level, turquoise is associated with sterile purity. Most people unknowingly consider color as a symbol of getting rid of bad habits, heavy obligations.

According to psychologists, this color has a beneficial effect on mood. It relieves fatigue, helps to cope with irritation. At different times of the day, turquoise in its own way affects a person: in the morning it will help to wake up and give a positive charge, and in the evening it will remove tension and give a feeling of comfort and peace of mind.

Materials of manufacture

When choosing a sofa, special attention should be paid to upholstery, the quality of which depends on the service life of upholstered furniture. In addition to strength, when determining the material for a turquoise sofa, it is worth considering that some of them emphasize the advantages of color very favorably. Typically, as a coating for such furniture use:

Cotton is beautifully dyed, allowing you to achieve depth and color saturation. The turquoise sofa “dressed” in this material will be a bright accent in the interior of the living room. This is an eco-friendly natural, and also quite cheap fabric. But you should not count on a long service life - the material quickly burns out and loses its visual appeal.
Jacquard favorably emphasizes the beauty of turquoise sofas due to the unusual interweaving of threads. Due to the textured drawings on the material, the furniture looks simply luxurious. The main advantages of jacquard - strength and durability, it does not fade in the sun, quite dense. However, he also has a significant drawback - the high price.
The tapestry resembles a jacquard fabric, but more fibers are used to weave it. He also emphasizes the sophistication of color, thanks to the patterns gives the sofa an aristocratic sophistication. The material is durable, it is easy to care for it, fresh stains can simply be jammed. In addition to the high price, minus this upholstery is a quick burnout in direct sunlight. To turquoise sofas upholstered in tapestry served for a long time, they should not be placed at the window.
Flock due to the texture perfectly conveys bright colors. It does not cause allergies, the material is not afraid of the claws of pets and other injuries. The main disadvantage of the flock is a rapidly creasing pile. A sofa pulled by such a cloth should not be put in the kitchen - it will greatly absorb odors.
Corduroy at the expense of scars reveals all the facets of turquoise. The fabric is resistant to the action of "chemistry", it is easy to clean, survive the upholstery and claws of your beloved cat. But not all velveteen has the same density, for example, material woven into one thread is unlikely to last long.
Faux leather also looks original in turquoise. A high-quality analogue of natural coating almost does not differ from the original, and its price is significantly lower. Ecoskin is not afraid of water, it is easy to care for it, it is resistant to abrasion, pleasant to the touch and looks expensive. But the material also has drawbacks - it is flammable, so a living room with a fireplace is not the best option for a sofa with such upholstery. Also, leatherette quickly burns out under the influence of direct rays of the sun and can crack.
Genuine leather is a recognized leader among sofa covers in the high-end segment. The simplest piece of furniture in this design boasts elegant luxury. Like a substitute, natural material looks unusual in turquoise, it can be used for upholstery of an ottoman of any style. The skin is durable, with minimal care, it will last for many years. The main disadvantage is the high cost of the material, which accordingly affects the price of furniture. Sleeping on a leather sofa is uncomfortable because it is very slippery.

The quality of the material determines the life of the furniture - if it is low, the upholstery will quickly rub or crack.
