Green historically has been a prominent color in our interior landscapes, trending from avocado to sage to lime to…emerald over the past few decades, mostly because the color green is tied to a very large and emotional social issue, nature and the environment.
For what it’s worth, here’s a look at using Emerald Green in our homes…..
Beautiful when paired with warm antique brass, this rich accent color sends an inviting welcome and emphasizes the entrance to the home.

| Emerald green can be overpowering if not handled with respect. Here it is softened by a rubbed paint treatment, complemented by the pink, and further toned down by the creamy furnishings — all perfect in this girl’s room. I love the elegance of the beaded chandelier – a throw back to an earlier age of luxury. |

| Emerald is lovely when paired with modern black and white furnishings. I love that the color does not go to the ceiling; it opens the space visually from above. Imagine how dead this space would look with white walls! |
I looooove lilac and emerald together. What a lovely vignette!
