Teal can add the pop of color your kitchen has been craving, without overwhelming your space. Your kitchen should be fun, inspirational, but still refined. Even if you want a luxurious kitchen, that doesn’t mean you should stray away from color! In fact, colorful décor can tie together your entire home’s color scheme. Choose a piece of wall art that incorporates both warm and cool colors (teal included) for a fun way to blend your surrounding décor. This will allow you to play around with a variety of trendy tones without worrying about clashing colors. For example, try pairing your teal décor with organic colors like sage green and golden yellow. The beauty of teal is that it will go with bold colors or neutrals.
Expert Decorating Tips
ElephantStock's interior design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz shares trendy tips for adding teal to your kitchen:
"Even though teal can be bright, it also radiates a refined sense of reflection and calm. It can also provide a mental and spiritual balance. The benefit of teal is that it can be mixed with practically any color palette! That means it’s important to define your desired aesthetic before you add teal to your space. For example, to achieve a luxurious space, consider gold, red, or purple accents. If you want a more playful space, go with orange or yellow. You can also combine teal with soft pastels like white or pink for a delicate look."

Teal and White Kitchen Ideas
Searching for a simpler look? You can’t go wrong with teal and white! White kitchens have been big in recent years, but 2022 is straying away from the monochromatic look. It’s essential to add a pop of contrast if you want to keep your kitchen looking current. That’s where teal comes in! It also pairs beautifully with gray, making it ideal to blend with a predominantly neutral color scheme. If you want to add another color to your teal and white color palette, go with woody browns for a hint of warmth that still looks natural and organic. Because your cooking space will look ultra-sleek, dare to hop on a more casual trend like open cabinets for a carefree look.

Yellow and Teal Kitchen Ideas
If teal isn’t enough of a pop of color for you, pair it with a sunny yellow! Teal and yellow are a timeless combination that will make your kitchen shine. This quirky combination is ideal for brightening your space. Your cooking space should be inspirational, and maximizing natural light is essential. Balancing colors like teal and navy blue with light, warm colors like yellow and gold can give the illusion of a sunnier space. If you choose these two statement colors, make sure your kitchen is free of clutter to avoid a chaotic environment.

Dare to go dark! Deeper shades of teal can make your kitchen look instantly modern. While lighter shades like aquamarine have a retro quality, dark teal feels almost royal. Add an art deco-inspired touch with a contemporary twist when you cover your backsplash in teal tiles. Pair dark teal with matte black accents for an ultra-bold choice. While gold finished haven’t waned in popularity, silver is making a comeback. If you’re lucky enough to already get natural light in your kitchen (and you have a breezy open floor plan) you can take the chance of incorporating only cool colors.
