We don’t know about you but whenever we hear the word ‘aqua’ we’re instantly transported to a poolside oasis sipping a Margarita cocktail in the afternoon glow. So, naturally, it only seems right to use this refreshing and versatile colour in your home too, right? We know we do.
To inspire you even further and help you get started, here are four different ways to use this clean, bright and joyful paint colour in your home and interior.
Dive in.
One of the boldest ways to bring aqua into your home is by painting your walls. Aqua is perfect for creating an uplifting and refreshing atmosphere, so is a great choice to add to kitchens and bathrooms (or any space that requires a crisp boost). Our Fresh Aqua and Graceful Aqua paint colours are perfect contenders for this style and could even be colour drenched on ceilings too for maximum impact.
Our Graceful Aqua paint colour is a gentle, muted, minty aquamarine shade perfect for creating an airy and relaxing space in your home.
Just a splash.
If painting walls isn't your thing, don't worry — aqua-coloured accents can work wonders at injecting personality into your home. Think upcycling tired furniture such as tables and drawers or even just the skirting. These small touches can instantly brighten up a room with minimal effort and budget (right up our street!).
Consider our Joyful Aqua paint colour for a project like this for a focal point you’ll adore forever.
Our Joyful Aqua paint colour brings the ultimate Wes Anderson vibe to any space and interior. It's whimsical, it's refreshing and it's simply mood-boosting.
Outdoor refresh.
Don’t forget your outdoor spaces! Aqua is the perfect pick-me-up for those boring external walls and we have just the paint finish for it too — masonry. Imagine our Electric Aqua paint colour wrapping around your newly revamped seating nook with its minty freshness... you’ll practically be able to hear your feet splashing in those fresh seaside waves. Pure summertime bliss.
Mix and Match.
Aqua pairs well with many colours... yes, she’s special like that. So for a serene and harmonious look, combine it with similar paint colours like soft blues, greens and teals. For a more dynamic and energetic feel, mix with bright oranges, pinks, or yellows. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find the perfect combination that suits you. If you need a little more help, head to our collections for some suggested pairings.
