While teal is a strong color it looks beautiful on your walls for example as an accent wall or on the ceiling. But when you’re feeling bold you can chose to paint all your walls in this color. These teal wall paint ideas will show you how to add this hue to your home.

The kitchen dining nook in the home of Molly Britt and Eric Olson has a wonderful bluegreen accent wall. This is combined with vintage art and striped pillows.

Another home where the bedroom walls are painted in teal green. Sofie of Three Boys and a Pink Bath didn’t just paint the walls in this vibrant color but also the fireplace and the built in wardrobes. The teal walls are combined with a pink bedframe and bedding.

In this attic bedroom they doubled up on the teal with both the walls and the bedding in this stunning color. The golden bedframe adds a glamorous touch to the room while the earthy rug adds warmth.


If an entire wall feels too much for you, why not add a half-painted teal wall? In this room, the teal wall is perfectly combined with pastel-colored artwork.
Teal Wallpaper
Instead of painting the walls you can also a wallpaper to your room with teal color accents. It’s a great choice if you love the color but you think an entire teal wall is too much of if you want to add some texture and pattern to your walls.

The floral “Prairie Rose” wallpaper by Borastapeter adds a whimsical teal touch to this bedroom. The colors of the wallpaper return in the bedroom furniture and textiles.

The Borneo wallpaper by Graham and Brown adds a classic tone to your room. The bananaleafs shimmer on the teal green background add warmth to any room. And as you can see in the bathroom mirror, the opposite wall is painted teal as well.
Teal Tiles
In the kitchen or bathroom you can also add teal color accents in the tilework.


Helen, the Creative Director of deVOL Kitchens, added deVOL’s Vintage Teal Lace Market Tiles to her Mediterranean style kitchen. It gives this kitchen a historic and color touch and the lace texture adds an extra element to the room. No tile is the same, so some tiles look more green while others more teal. This adds a playful touch.

The teal Lampas Peacock Tile adds color and shine to your bathroom (and it would also work great in a kitchen). We’ve already seen that pink is a great complimentary color to teal and in this bathroom they added a round pink sink.

A calmer bathroom look with teal tiles can be seen in this modern bathroom with freestanding bath. No tile is the exactly the same color which adds a nice element to the room.
Teal Furniture and Kitchen Cabinets
Teal is also a great color for furniture like a velvet sofa or a painted cabinet. But you can also take a step further by adding a teal kitchen to your home. This way you make the kitchen not just the heart of the home but also the star of your house.

Teal is an amazing color for kitchen cabinets. This kitchen designed by Joanna Gaines shows just that. And when you combine it with white tiles and wooden accents you create a wonderful bright, modern rustic kitchen.

The proof that teal also works very well in old houses is this living room with teal velvet sofa in a historic cottage in England. The vibrant teal is combined with softer earth, pink, and gray tones.


You can also opt for a more subtle teal color accent in your home. The Targue Inlay Coffee Table by Anthropolgie has original Moroccon tilework with teal color accents and a brass base. In this living room they choose to combine this beautiful round coffee table with a vibrant orange/red sofa.

Make it teal, and give it a little extra. Wow this kitchen is amazing and not just thanks to the color of the cabinets. An extra design element is added by using ribbed kitchen cabinets which is then combined with terrazzo worktops. You would think that this combination is too much, but the blue/green shade (a bit lighter than the PPG Color of the Year) is actually rather peaceful which makes it all possible.


A laundry room can be stylish and colorful too and this one, designed by Blissful Design Studio, has teal painted cabinets.
Teal Home Decor
