Emerald City

We were very excited over at the Hillsdale Headquarters late last year when Pantone, that purveyor of color formulas for all shades of the rainbow, named emerald its 2013 color. We love green, especially the brighter hues, and love being surprised with it in home décor. We don’t produce too much green furniture of our own around here (though several of our pieces would take kindly to a layer of paint), so here are a few of our favorite looks from around the internet.

On the Walls

Whether taking the wall-to-wall approach, or just highlighting a single focal point, emerald gets attention. 

In the Bedroom

Beds and bedding are some of our favorite (and simple) ways to incorporate color, especially if you are prone to changing moods. Green hues complement a wide range of neutral color schemes, and can also be very calming, making them ideal for most bedrooms. 

In the Kitchen

Kitchens practically beg for bright pops of color on the stove, on the table, on the shelves. This year, stay on trend.

 

In the Bathroom

Enjoy a bright green pick-me-up with your morning showers in 2013. Green is a great color for bathroom walls, but if you aren’t ready for that level of commitment, you can use a few easier touches. 

How are you using shades of green this spring? We’re sure everyone was dutifully wearing their green this past weekend for St. Patrick’s Day, but was your home also?
