Is there a way to use teal in a way that looks fresh? I’ve seemed to read everywhere that teal is passé and dated.
My partner and I are beginning to plan the reno for our kitchen (because I threatened to paint the cabinets in the meantime). He wants subway tiles, I want a more boho-Mediterranean look. We’re trying to meet in the middle with colored subway tiles that have some variation/texture in the colors (instead of just flat). We both love green and blue and are at risk of having an entirely green and blue house. So, my partner suggested teal subway tiles for the backsplash. I love rich jewel tones, dislike pastels, and my partner would rather play it safe with finishes. We have a lot of sage and forest green upstairs in the bedrooms and navy in the living room so I’m cautious of overusing those colors. I don’t want our house to look too matchy. Tips to make teal work in a kitchen if we do go down that route?
TL;DR: we’re in the very nascent planning stage of kitchen renovations, partner suggested teal for the backsplash but I don’t want our kitchen to look dated and teal has been getting a lot of hate lately.
