Turquoise is hot again. We have no idea why. But that's what Elle Décor says and, Gods knows, they know better than we. According to Elle, turquoise is choice for fashion as well as home design. Your living room may look like a 1970s Miami beach beauty salon but, hey, that's the price of 2007 style.

Personally, we prefer softer colors. Actually, we still like black. And, if you want bold, we think red isn't bad either for sofas or comfy chairs. But we're in suburbia so what do we really know, other than grass seed and the fact that bungee-cord garbage-can-lid fasteners are way more secure than the hard plastic fold-out kind.
