All colors have the ability to evoke emotions, and teal is no exception. It’s known to be associated with calmness, serenity, balance, and tranquility, and can symbolize a connection to the natural world. All of these reasons and more combine to make it one of our very favorites, and we absolutely loved incorporating it into a primary bedroom and bathroom renovation in Franklin, Tennessee.
From dreamy tiles to striking accents and fun fabrics, check out all the details of this primary suite renovation.
Dreaming in Teal
Our clients’ main goal in their primary bedroom was to maximize the storage and functionality of each space to create a cohesive feel, but they also wanted to be able to store clothing and get ready for the day in the room as well. We converted the entire left side of their home into a massive primary suite that checked all of their boxes.
This family loved texture and bold colors (same!), which we kept in mind throughout the design process. We created a colorful yet soothing palette to evoke relaxation throughout the space. We used a bold teal color on the walls and ceiling, then added a textured tan wallpaper as an accent wall behind the bed.
We kept our bright color palette going through furnishings and accents, like adding a coral bench to the foot of the bed and cushion to a functional bay window with shoe storage. It all came together with a perfect combination of accent rugs and drapes featuring all colors.
Pampered in Teal
Bringing comparable colorways into adjacent rooms helps create a cohesive feel. With so much vibrant color in the primary bedroom, we complemented the look in the connected primary bathroom as well. The existing bathroom had deep red accented walls, making our transition to a pale teal and white oasis all the more jaw-dropping.
Working within the parameters of the existing bathroom walls, we completely moved everything around and created more open space. We used a beautiful teal paint on the walls, added white marble flooring, and created interesting focal points in both the shower and water closet.
In the shower, we used a scalloped tile on the walls and multi-colored penny tile on the floor that tied in nicely with the neutrality of the space. In the water closet, we brought in a vibrant wallpaper with a shades of blue watercolor effect. The window at the focal point is a custom stained glass to let light in but keep the view private over the round tub.
Finishes and fixtures were all gold, including trim detailing, handles, sconces and plumbing, and we completed the stunning look with a glass chandelier suspended above the freestanding tub.
