Ashley Banbury, interior designer and color expert for paint brands Krylon and Dutch Boy, tells us that shades of deep green are being brought into spaces to create a sense of comfort. ‘It’s a timeless and versatile color that exudes luxury and sophistication, making it highly desirable in interior design and decor. Additionally, there’s been a growing emphasis on reconnecting with nature and sustainability, and emerald green reflects this trend by evoking images of lush forests and vibrant foliage,’ notes Ashley. When it comes to styling this color, she suggests pairing it with metallic tones such as gold and silver for a luxurious look or shades of royal reds or dusty terracottas if you’d prefer a more organic approach to the trend.
We think that this bold shade of emerald green lends an element of fun to glassware and Ashley agrees. ‘Emerald green glassware exudes a timeless elegance with a touch of whimsy, offering a vintage-inspired aesthetic that seamlessly merges sophistication with playfulness. In the midst of the resurgence of ‘kitschens’ and the embrace of maximalist design trends this year, incorporating vibrant and eclectic glassware becomes a delightful and effortless way to elevate any space,’ says Ashley.
