that shade called emerald green


So many choices of how to use emerald green. Fashion houses are going nuts with
 broadcasting this colour on every dress, top, bag and whatever else you can possibly think of. 
 If you have seen the minimal posts on this blog, it's quite obvious that my interior design choices
veer towards the rustic neutrals so playing around with colour as bright as emerald green is
 uncharted territory for me but one that may be considered. 
You'd have to be a serious lover of this tone to have it plastered on your walls. If you are as weary
 as I am about having emerald green as a feature wall or door but really think it would 
work, you can always tone down your background by decorating your space with neutral 
shades. Whites, beiges, natural materials,wood and glass all work wonderfully with
 bright backgrounds. All of a sudden the green isn't so bad after all. 
Would you have a piece of furniture as an accent piece in your home? Perhaps you're not too
 keen on having your walls scream at you but you really fancy having this shade trace parts of 
your living space. Accent pieces are always a way to work out that indecisiveness. You can 
always move it around if you feel it doesn't work. And you can always refinish it when
 you decide green isn't really your favourite colour anymore. 

I believe less is more. So if you think the way I do, decorating your home with traces of 
emerald green accessories is probably the way of trending with Pantone's colour of the year. 
My favourite, of course, had to be saved for last. Textured fabric, natural weaves, soft wool,
 greys, whites and wood. And then all of a sudden, there's that pop of emerald. 
Love it.

How would you use it?
