Decorating with emerald green
Taking a leaf from our out of our Emerald Green Collection, Karen McCartney pins her favourite emerald interiors. Check out our Pinterest board for 80+ more inspiring ideas.

"The emerald green wall finish with the indigo blue, spotted sofa and the harmonious hues and texture of the rug create a welcoming space," says the Decor8 blog - and we agree. The wall has a slightly mottled finish which gives it a more artistic, nuanced feel. The choice of portrait, vase and coffee table have the air of found objects which decoratively enhance each other.

These iridescent green tiles, used as a kitchen splash back, have a rich luxurious appeal, while remaining practical. The introduction of blue glass, and natural objects, is a classic combination as it recalls a natural landscape of sky and green fields. This interior is designed by Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty of Parisian architecture and design firm Studio KO.

The emerald green in this room acts as as a counterfoil to the artfully arranged artworks which have an organic, loosely assembled feel. This tonality is further extended to the timber of the simply constructed sideboard stool. The enamel lamp in green and the glass bottle draw the eye linking the background and foreground.

There is nothing quite like seeing a trend played out in a celebrity space, especially one as personal as the kitchen. Uber American interior designer Kelly Wearstler has specified bespoke kitchen cabinetry in a rich emerald green teamed with the luxury of a brass splash back for a kitchen in Cameron Diaz's Manhattan apartment.

This is an interesting use of green in the context of a bright white room. The verticality of the wall has been used as a surface to showcase an array of plates which mixes patterns and plains. In contrast the table plane is a confident statement in solid glossy green teamed with chairs in the same shade. It is a consistent style message which mixes clever placement with a play on one colour. Image by Eric Laignel for interiordesign.net

The play of varying greens works to great effect. The darker tones of the painted woodwork and the natural variegated shades of the plants are enhanced by the punch of intense colour from a bright emerald green upholstered chair. The modernity of the chair's shape and solid form bring a contemporary touch to a conservatory setting. Image via Ikea.se
