Around this time every year we are bombarded with new color trends for the season, and home decor is no exception. I’ve seen it everywhere, from decor magazines, design catalogs, Pinterest, and HGTV, the color of the year is Emerald Green, and it’s here to stay (for 2013 anyway).
According to Pantone, Emerald Green is
“Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty
that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony”.
Emerald encompasses restoration and rejuvenation, which is important in both fashion and home decor.
It’s perceived as luxurious and sophisticated.
I like to focus on simple, and budget friendly decor, in a beautiful, and seemingly effortless way. How does one go about incorporating this regal color in a more ‘down to earth’ and reasonably priced way? In my house we utilize the kitchen, family room, and bedrooms more than any other room, take a look at how to do just that in your most commonly used spaces:

Hi Barbara, I saw your post on g+ and wanted to stop by, say hi and see some emerald green in use. It is such a WOW color. I think I my fav is the emerald green with mix of neutrals from Cristi Holcombe, and that wood lamp is superb… by the way! These are great examples, especially for some of us who might need a little help (yours truly) mixing emerald green into a color scheme, lol, thanks for sharing!
