The Fashion

Do you ever find a color combination that keeps catching your eye? One you keep going back to over and over again? That combination may just be the new fashion for your home. One I am always crushing on is blush and emerald-green. In fashion and in the home these two colors are always a favorite of mine.

The mix of jewel and pastel tones is always a great combination, especially an emerald or dark green paired with pale pink or blush. But it is not just because it’s pretty, it’s a kind of science. They work because green and pink are complimentary, sitting opposite each other on the traditional color wheel. That means they enhance each other but in a less contrasting and harsh way than green and red. I guess that means you can’t help but love them.

Let’s take a look…

The Inspiration

I’ve shared this showroom by Oly Studios in the past. It is always a favorite of mine.

This blush and emerald bedroom was actually the inspiration for my own master bedroom transformations.

I just can’t get enough of this office!

I have run across so many interiors in this color combination that appeal to me in a huge way.

  1. I love them all but especially the vintage pink walls and green floor and dishes.
