AIBU to think teal is an awful choice for interiors?

The colour teal - it is the work of the devil!!! I have no idea why this colour is so popular because it is just GROSS 🤮

watching Interior Design Masters last night and was like ‘Sophie Noooooooo’.

Im not sure why I find it quite so appalling!
No offence if you’ve decorated your house in teal, I’m no interior designer and my home is pretty average but …. Shudder

We just re-covered a completely clapped out and ripped up IKEA chaise longue with a teal sofa cover and I love it!

Forgot to add the image!

I like it dripped into a room that’s mostly moody browns/rust colours.. a tiny bit of teal just make it pop and gives it life.

the same with funky fun brightly decorated rooms with mustardy yellow, burnt orange and bright pinks, a tiny bit of teal really goes a long way.

never seen a teal while that I haven’t hated though.

Me too. I have moonlight white walls in my living room with a grey sofa and chairs, but I have cushion covers with teal in them and also a rug and a small square oottoman. I think it looks nice, and visitors always comment on the rug in particular.

My mum always used to say not to buy a green car as they are unlucky. But she also won’t pass on the stairs, salutes when she sees a magpie and plenty of other crazy stuff!

Completely disagree with you OP. I have teal in my ‘posh’ lounge. I have a couple of shades and it’s lovely - always complimented on too. Nice in day time but on a night, especially in winter with the right lighting, it’s gorgeous.
Actually I have teal in my downstairs loo too now I’m thinking about it 🤣

Oh! Could be, it was quite dark, a sort of forest green.

Who GAF what makes you "shudder"
People can decorate how they see fit in THEIR homes. Get a life or a job.

Oh my word I TOTALLY agree with you. I think all the ppl on here prob didn't see the programme; it was a particularly bad teal. My mum has a teal wall and it actually looks pretty cool, she has a recent Hockey print on it and it’s kind of beautiful. But I agree with you that teal was so bad. It was a bit… shiny?? I did think her grey brown bedroom was a beautiful colour though. Glad Leah won as thought hers was a lot more mature design wise. Sad Emily not in it though she had some super cool flashes of brilliance and would have been very exciting to see in the final!

I like it. Don't have it on any of my walls... and all I can say is, if you don't like it, don't paint your walls with it either....
