Emerald is the color of the sea and grass, leaves and precious stones. It creates a mood and comfort, is associated with peace and stability. Gives you the opportunity to relax after everyday worries. The main task when decorating a house is to correctly choose the main colors, complementing them with a rich emerald.
Peculiarities
Emerald color in the interior is associated with luxury and nobility. All the various shades of this mineral are widely used. The magic of the emerald is described in ancient legends, it is believed that the Holy Grail was carved from it. And also, for a long time, the gemstone has served as the basis for women's and men's jewelry. On the red carpet, you can often see chic evening dresses of the stars, shining with all shades of green.
This palette is no less popular when decorating interiors. You can safely use this tone if you like bright and attractive accents on the walls, unusual curtains or a spectacular malachite sofa.... On the contrary, the total execution of the interior in deep colors can cause a feeling of a cramped space, visual congestion and even gloom. Therefore, the role of a secondary color is assigned to the emerald color, especially if it is a dark shade.
When decorating a house, you need to take into account the combination of emerald green with other colors and style textures. It is important to know which elements and pieces of furniture are best to choose in shades of green. Classic accessories such as large vases and figurines, cornices and wall clocks, unusual carpets and lamps, bedspreads and tablecloths are perfect for this. You can distribute them in different parts of the room, creating a new sophisticated style.
How to combine?
According to the classification of colors, emerald is greenish-blue, it combines the characteristics of two palettes, therefore it has such a rich color. The beauty of the tone appears more expressive if it is correctly combined with others.

Decorating rooms in the house

Kitchen
In a white kitchen, green furniture will be an elegant and sophisticated addition, rugs and stripes on tiles or wallpaper will create a sophisticated tandem. The Mediterranean-style interior enhances the purity of the pure white and the depth of the noble navy blue. If the ceramic tile on the wall is sustained in this tone, details of golden and metallic tones are selected for it. In the kitchen, plant shades remind of juicy fruits and vegetables, increase appetite. Country style is also great - the dining room benches and wood worktop can simply be painted the color you want.
Bathroom
If it is a bathroom, an invigorating mood is provided for the whole day. In addition, the wonderful combination of emerald with dazzling white - the color of the bathtub and the sink - is manifested here again. As a rule, the walls are made darker, and the floor and ceiling are made lighter.
In this case, everything can be sustained in various shades within the palette. Black and dark green plumbing in retro style looks no less impressive against the backdrop of glittering emerald splashes and gold tiles. Such an interior immediately gives the impression of expensive and chic, along with fanciful details and a mirror in a beautiful metal frame.
Bedroom
We should also dwell on the combination of blue and green. If the windows in the room face south, blue and grassy will make it cooler, more comfortable and more romantic.

Children

Therefore, along with soft tones, the interior needs a bright and beautiful accent. You can highlight a piece of furniture - an ottoman, a table or an emerald-colored chair. The snow-white space will be succinctly complemented by fresh notes of olive or pistachio. A room for a girl with a lot of pink tones will sparkle with spring notes if you add a pillow to the bed or a rug with applique in green tones.
These colors are great for soothing an active child before bed and improve their mood during the day.
Living room
If the room is large, for example, a hall or a living room, and also with a high ceiling, then noble pistachio or dark green will significantly decorate it. Curtains will enhance the impression of height and free space in a bright interior. At first glance, incompatible color combinations from several palettes - warm and cold - are possible. The decorative elements can be bright red and blue, while the basic tones remain beige and white.
