Turquoise is more effective if it is not too overpowering; so in this particular room it was used for curtains, dressing table mats and candles, and for a cushion on the bed.
The bedspread was old gold, and the carpet a warm fawn colour with turquoise wool rugs beside the bed. This produced a well-balanced scheme with cool and warm colours in the right proportions.
Colours could, of course, be reversed. With a plain turquoise or patterned carpet you could have old gold curtains bordered with turquoise and a turquoise pelmet, old gold bedspread as before, and turquoise candles with a peach glass trinket set.
Turquoise shades appear in many Indian carpets, by the way, combined with other tones of blue, green and pink, and the general effect of these colours on a cream or fawn ground is very good for a bedroom.
