Pantone Color of the Year: Emerald Green

Pantone Color of the Year: Emerald Green

Well it’s finally here, the long-awaited Pantone color for 2013 is Emerald 17-5641.  I must say I’m not usually keen on green but this color has a royal flair to it that I don’t mind.  It’s the perfect color to add impact to you decor that’s for sure.

Their press release describes this color beautifully:

Most often associated with brilliant, precious gemstones, the perception of Emerald is sophisticated and luxurious. Since antiquity, this luminous, magnificent hue has been the color of beauty and new life in many cultures and religions. It’s also the color of growth, renewal and prosperity – no other color conveys regeneration more than green. For centuries, many countries have chosen green to represent healing and unity.

Let’s begin with art, I found these pieces from Art.com, it’s perfect for the fashion enthusiasts.

I found this on Pinterest, it’s just too pretty not to mention.

 

Here is a way to add emerald green to your decor by pillows and curtains (I love the curtains).

 

If you like the curtains, I found something similar at Urban Outfitters.

Here are some of my favorite emerald green pillow finds from Zinc Door

DL Rhein Honeycomb Apple Green Embroidered Pillow || Jonathan Adler Bargello Pillow Chevron Green/Grey

Why not add green with envy to your bathroom with this romantic and chic shower curtain from Urban Outfitters.  This is the perfect way to add a spike of color… and it’s not permanent, when you want to change to your next favorite color, it’s a quick, easy and an affordable change.

Well that’s it for now, a little treat to start your next design project.  I’m sure more finds will be posted as I discover them.

Enjoy.

Curtain Call

Have you checked out Urban Outfitters lately?  I’ve always luved the kooky-ness that is Urban Outfitters.  It’s a great place to find odds and end for home decor.  Here are some great curtains I think are perfect to add some color and texture.

Made to Measure – Custom Curtains

Looking to add your own personal touch to your windows? Have a look at The Natural Curtain company to find the perfect fit. They have a wonderful selection of fabrics to choose from, easy instructions of how to measure what you need to custom fit your windows and voila, ready made, tailor-made, custom curtains for your home. Personally I think this is a great idea, especially if you’ve searched and searched for curtains and just haven’t found what you’re looking for. Or perfect for those that may have an awkward sized window or dealing with unusual heights, custom is the way to go! They even offer to send you samples of the fabrics that you’re eyeing, this way you know what you’ll get from the final product with no surprises (totally smart of this company to offer this service, I wouldn’t have it any other way).

Another reason to shop here is that they have won the accreditation from the Ethical Company Organisation.  Their fabrics are 100% natural wherever possible, the also have considered energy conservation, the environment and people, you can read all about here: Ethical trading.  I personally believe in going green as much as we can and supporting companies who believe in those values as well. 

Looking for more?  They also offer fabric sales and ready made curtains.

Living Etc likes them as well, they were recently in the April 2009 issue.

Silver Bubbles Beaded Curtain (in new Dreamgirls movie!)

The set design team of Warner Brother’s Television’s One Tree Hill purchased this curtain from us for their show! And, yes, this is the Pussycat Dolls Beaded Curtain from their Buttons video! We have also been working with Dream Works for a new movie coming up called DreamGirls and you’ll see this curtain in that movie in December 2006. The stars of the film are Beyonce Knowles, Jamie Foxx, Danny Glover and Eddie Murphy! Our new Bright Silver Bead Curtain hangs on one 35″ wide rod. It’s ready to hang! This curtain features Silver-Coated Bubble Beads. It’s very bright and shiny! We also now offer a darker alternative to this curtain, the Charcoal Bubbles Beaded Curtain. These acrylic bubble beads are so beautiful…they add sparkle and glitter all over any surface! You can even hang them on top of another fabric like a shower curtain or window treatment if you want the sparkly look but you still like a more little privacy! This style curtain is also available in Blue, Pink, Purple, Crystal Clear, Rainbow, Black, and more!35″ Wide x 72″Long: Our wonderful heavy-duty acrylic beaded curtains are a perfect addition to any room! Use in the place of regular doors, closet doors, or behind a bed to add height to any room! Because the bubble disc beads on this style lay in different directions, even with just 23 strands you get a very full look with this beaded curtain. (via luxxury livving)
