SEA-GLASS GREENS & BLUES

Introduce a sense of tranquillity by echoing the beautiful translucent character and watery bluey-green tones of sea-glass. An array of shades such as faded aqua, mint green and turquoise to stronger emerald greens and cobalt blues can be used to maximum effect. Offset with whites, gentle greys and natural textures, and dilute paint shades to create a watery wash for furniture and walls. Display ceramics decorated with watercolour-effect glazes and coordinating vintage glassware, plus found sea-glass in jars or low dishes for a final flourish.
