Earlier this year Terrie wrote about Emerald - Pantone’s Color of the year.  In her post she shared photos of some beautifully decorated rooms dressed in this rich green.  The addition of emerald could brighten and freshen your home, especially with spring approaching.  If your budget doesn’t allow you to completely redecorate according to color trends (as is the case for most of us!) you can still spice things up and enjoy a touch of this wonderful color by mixing some emerald accessories into a room or two.  It’s a perfect way to celebrate upcoming St. Patrick’s Day!

Emerald Gems

It’s easy to add emerald to your home with the wide variety of accessories available.

Break into emerald in a small but delightful way with candles like the Glass Baby votive candle holder (top) or the  candle globe by Northern lights.

Add emerald toss pillows to the sofa or bed, bring in potted green plants or vases.

Break out the spray paint and update dining chairs with emerald.

 

Dress your table with beautiful green flatware or stemware.

 

Treat your feet to an interesting green area rug.

Shed a little light with a great green lamp.

A fabulous green mirror is a nice reflection on you.

 

Designer Nick Olsen used spray paint to add a custom touch to a white night stand.  Inspired?  What kind of design would you paint?

 

PANTONE Universe ™ bedding and towels from JC Penney prove it’s easy to be green. So, if you’re green with envy accessorize with a few of these emerald gems.  They’ll brighten your house with trendy color that updates your space without hurting your wallet.  Enjoy!
