?Green is the most abundant hue in nature ? the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum,? said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. ?Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today?s complex world. This powerful and universally appealing tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors.?

Emerald in the Home

Whether you want to rejuvenate your home with an emerald colored wall or add subtle accents, green works well with both neutral palettes (whites, beiges, grays) and brighter colors, such orange. (Update last year?s Tangerine Tango color scheme with a pop of green!)

Look outdoors for inspiration. Pair green with blue and aqua tones for a nautical or cottage look, or with gold or browns for a nature-inspired palette. If emerald isn?t the shade for you, try mixing other greens or similar colors such as turquoise and teal into your existing color scheme.

It?s easy to refresh your home d?cor with a splash of color. New table linens, pillows, dinner and serving ware, glassware, and accent pieces such as decorative bowls, vases, and live or silk topiaries and plants are all simple and affordable ways to update your look for the season.

Emerald in Fashion

Emerald has been spotted on the runways and is considered a classic, balanced color that works with most skin tones. As in home d?cor, you can introduce a subtle pop of color to your wardrobe through jewelry or accessories, such as Cinda b?s bags and travel accessories in Verde Bonita, a bright green with navy and turquoise geometric accents.

Check out our spring arrivals for inspiration to update your look. Our team of designers provides complimentary in-store consultations and will assist you in incorporating these new trends into your home. Full design services are also available ? from painting and window treatments to selecting furniture, lighting, rugs and accessories. Call us at (262) 248-6988 to learn more.
