While my preferred jewels are diamonds and sapphires, I must say that I’m quite smitten with Pantone‘s selection of Emerald as the 2013 Color of the Year! I do love bold pops of green, and there are so many ways to work it into your decor. Plus, this shade of green compliments so many other colors nicely. Here are a few ways that I just might work it into my own decor, starting with the Jade paint above from Benjamin Moore. And lacquer would make it even better!
Vetrazzo’s recycled glass counter tops in bistro green are made from water and wine bottles and offer a great mix of earth tones with a little shimmer. They’d look amazing with either a green or mahogany colored cabinets.
And these green velvet pillows from Overstock are the perfect way to add an emerald accent with little investment.
For those with an Emerald thumb, a terrarium like this moss filled one is a great way to bring in this lively color.
For those who aren’t ready for a real relationship with Emerald, these emerald green glass knobs are the perfect way to add a little accent of it to a piece of furniture or cabinetry.
Or for those who want to jump right into the Emerald pool, this Retro Flocked Wallpaper in Emerald would be stunning in so many spaces.
Yes, it appears that in 2013 we’ll be green with envy over the color Emerald.
