Summer days are officially here and we couldn't be happier about it! There's just something about this time of year that makes life a whole lot more fun. The days are longer and life seems to have a more laid-back pace. it's the perfect time to kick back, relax, and just chill. it's those relaxing vibes that have inspired our choice for July's Color of the Month: Tropical Ocean!  

Tropical Ocean is a deep, rich shade of turquoise. In crystal healing, the turquoise crystal stone meaning is associated with personal protection. The color turquoise is said to represent calming energy, creativity, emotional grounding, friendship, joy, and tranquility. With qualities like this, it's no wonder we want to surround ourselves with gorgeous shades like Tropical Ocean through fashion and decor! 

Even though it's on the brighter side, turquoise is a remarkably versatile color that complements any style of decor. it's great as an accent color, but it's also a fantastic choice for an allover wall color that really makes a room come alive. It pairs beautifully with navy, light green, dark and light brown, black, white, tomato red, and deep shades of pink.

If you're looking to add some energy and excitement to the outside of your home, consider using turquoise as an accent color. Window shutters, doors, and trim look simply gorgeous in an eye-catching shade of this brilliant blue-green hue. We also love the idea of painting your patio furniture turquoise to really bring the look together. It instantly brings that laid-back beachy feeling to your outdoor space, which is exactly what you want when you're enjoying your outdoor space in the warmer months.
