How to Decorate with Jewel Tones
Incorporating jewel tones, like Ruby, Sapphire, Citrine, and Emerald, to your home design will not only brighten up the look of your space but will also create a comfortable and extravagant ambience. Jewel tones can be found on decor accessories, furniture, and wall color. At first, you might think that jewel tones are too bold for your taste, but with the right background, precise pairing and a touch of confidence, you can use jewel tones for any design style. Here are 5 design tips on how to decorate with jewel tones:
How will you use them?
When decorating your home with jewel tones, you have two options, use sparingly and style with jewel toned accents or fully commit with jewel tone furniture or wall color. Either way, jewel tones can bring a luxurious and elegant vibe to any room.
Draws Your Attention
Use jewel tones to highlight your focal points, like the entryway, the living room, the kitchen, or the dining room. If you want to bring more attention to your sofa, use jewel toned accent pillows to draw the eye to the seating area. Upgrade the look of your dining room with jewel toned dining chairs or table linen.
Find the Balance
Balance jewel tones with shiny accents like silver or gold. Or style jewel toned furniture in front of a crisp white or black background so the jewel tone decor can take center stage. You can also pair jewel toned furniture with natural accents like a wooden coffee table and the contrast will create a sophisticated balance between the two.
Think About Texture
Explore jewel toned accents in luscious textures like velvet ottomans, silk toss pillows, and jewel colored knitted throw blankets. Textures enhance the look and comfort of a jewel colored accessory.
Use With Confidence
You don’t need to stick to one jewel tone when decorating a room, show confidence in your design and combine several dark, rich jewel tone colors in one space. If you have an emerald sofa, don’t be afraid to magnify the richness with citrine toss pillows.
