AIBU to think teal is an awful choice for interiors?

I have teal sofas. The delivery men said it was nice to see a colourful sofa instead of grey grey and more grey.

My bedroom is painted teal and plum. I love it. I don't care if it's not trendy, I chose my favourite colours. It's not too dark in the day, I have nice big windows, and it's very cosy at night.

The teal she chose was brilliant. Especially without mustard, which is not, imo, a good combination.

Sophie’s hall way was not good, but it wasn’t just as it was teal it was simply the wrong colour in that space. Teal can look nice, but it is never going to be my choice.

I have a teal sofa with yellow cushions and bright patterned cushions; it looks great against my very light walls.

I would say having a teal painted wall requires high ceilings in a traditional Victorian or Georgian style tenement or house. My friend painted her tenement flat wall in teal and against the traditional white cornicing it looked amazing. She position a yellow traditional armchair against it and it looked great. She was slightly my inspiration tbh when sofa shopping a few years later! However I knew I wouldn't do the walls that colour as our ceilings aren't high.

Each and to their own and all that though! I absolutely hate mirrored furniture or interior decor that is just various shades of grey/cream, but I wouldn't tell my best friend this as her house is entirely like that and it's her favoured style.

I like teal as an accent colour but not the way Sophie had done it in that hallway in the Final of IDM.

Oh I didn’t mean it is out of date, I just meant my own hallway is due a repaint. I don’t believe colours have an expiration date and I think trends are made up shit to make us spend more money on things that, by the very nature of it, should last a long, long time.
I actually spent a whole module of my masters degree arguing this.

Edited to add: @queenofcustard, this is what I mean, sorry I was clumsy with my words.

I like it on cushions and soft furnishings but not on walls. I painted a room teal once and it was a bit like living inside a swimming pool.

Love orange and yellow, though!

The teal hallway and leopard print ceiling was way too much for my liking, I preferred Leah’s colour palette to Sophie’s. Much more sophisticated, absolutely stunning, Sophie’s would give me a headache, far too much for me, 🤗

Everyone would hate my kitchen then! I have grey cupboards (two shades - not fifty lol) and grey worktops and floor tiles. Two of the walls have teal tiles (only half walls really as there are wall cupboards above) and I have a teal roller blind. I also have similar in the adjoining breakfast/dining room with TWO teal blinds. I absolutely love it!

I find this so odd- why would people care what colour is "in" or out? I use colours in my home that I personally like, I could give a flying toss if they're trending in home and garden magazine. That seems ridiculous- well, I love the colour teal but sadly its "out" according to some vague people ive never met so I shall have to use another colour I dont want 🤣

Maybe hidden by all the leaves and grass?
There is a reason ( as with all superstition) behind the green car bad luck.
Back in the day when racing cars were Racing Green they were statistically more likely to be involved in collision.
A car salesman told me this ( why would a car salesman lie) when I was buying a used motor and said "no green"

I embrace teal over grey any day

In a period house almost any colour can work.

Deep colours, including teal, are much more difficult to pull off in modern homes

Teal and Rose gold looks lovely to me ...it is definitely on my list when I redecorate the lounge!
I am not bothered if I am 8+ years out of date, my kitchen has mustard yellow and navy paint on the walls - apparently very out of date now but I'm not bothered because I like the combination of colours!

But you can have a pale teal. I have several rooms in Dulux jade white and I find it really cool and calming. I'm not such a fan of a dark teal but I'm not a fan of dark walls of any colour. But they can work in the right place.

The only opinion that matters is the person's whose home it is or clothes they are – but, no, I'm not a fan of teal.

I don't mind teal but for some reason I've never fathomed orange shades (in decor) make me quite angry. Terracotta, peach, zesty... grrr. Don't understand why I have such a strong reaction to a particular colour, but there you are.

I bought a knicker set that included an orange pair, I tried to get over it and just wear them but in the end I chucked them. Just can't stand it

I didn’t see the program you mention but I think it just depends on the context. I like decor that matches the environment, so for me teal is a very coastal and/or summery colour.

I think it looked nice in the TV programme room as it was a large period property. Wasn’t so sure about the leopard skin look ceiling with it! Doesn't look so good in my opinion in non period properties.

I love teal and loved her hallway. It's a hallway, in a period property, that looked like it doesn't get much daylight. No amount of Tasteful White is going to change that to make it bright and airy, so much better to lean into it with something rich and punchy.
Very much an each to their own though as my tiny hallway is bright pink and I think I'd cry if I had almond white walls!

My sister had a green car once, and she said people were always pulling out in front of her - a few near misses and an accident (not her fault!). She thought it was maybe because she lived rurally and people didn’t see her?!

I love teal! Most blues and greens in fact.

I cannot understand why people paint their houses brown, orange or beige. But each to their own!

Well OP I am a designer and my hallway is teal (dulux teal tension, flat matt) It's on its way out, mind, as I painted it 8-ish years ago, but colour is something very personal. I don't particularly like yellow but can't really impose my taste on my clients, after all, they will be the ones actually living in the house.

DS's small, north-facing bedroom is teal. It was white with pale blue accents, and was cold and boring. Now it's dark teal with brilliant white ceiling and furniture and looks fantastic.
It wasn't called Squirrels Fart though. It was Q0.50.40, which is a lot less exciting.

Colour is totally personal preference. I can't see the attraction of turning your house interior 50 shades of grey but that's been popular for years now.

I love teal. Much more interesting than bloody grey or magnolia.
