An outside/in bathrooom
If creating an earthy bathroom space is your aim, then emerald green is a perfect colour to blend with other natural elements. Pair with crisp whites for a modern freshness, and add plenty of green foliage and nature-themed artwork to create a relaxing space to take a bath or shower.

Colour blocking in the kitchen
Emerald green paint doesn’t always have to be placed in a traditional interior setting with tonal colours. Here, the kitchen cabinets are painted in Outdoor Escape and placed in stark contrast against a modern, satsuma-shaded oven. The result is both eye-catching and full of character – perfect if you are someone who loves to be creative in the kitchen.

Painted panelling on walls is a top trend and a relatively simple way to update any space in your home. Choosing an emerald green paint for your panelling produces an eye-catching focal point, which blends well with wooden accessories and other natural shades of furniture.
Top tip: Remember that panelling doesn’t always have to fill the whole of your wall - in the example above, the panelling fills about 2/3rds of the height of the wall, which gives the illusion of a higher ceiling height – especially when topped with a pale paint shade for the top section of the wall and ceiling.

When it comes to incorporating elements of emerald green into your living room interior for the first time, the best thing to do is start with small highlights. Here, a small section of wall behind the fireplace has been panelled and painted green against a mostly greige colour scheme, but then linked into the overall colour interior with the addition of an emerald green armchair nearby.

Capturing the light
Although, emerald green is a darker shade, it reflects the light beautifully, so placing it on a wall which receives plenty of natural daylight will completely change the shade into something lighter and fresher. The use of large mirrors can also help to reflect the light around your room and further enhance the depth of the wall colour.

A plush place to lay your head
Emerald green paint in a bedroom will create a luxurious and hotel-like ambiance; especially when paired with modern greys, crisp whites, and gold accessories. This bedroom uses Spring Pea as a decadent shade to decorate the beaded wall behind the back of the bed frame, which creates a stunning backdrop for a sumptuous and inviting bed. The addition of small accessories, such as the emerald velvet cushion help to bring the colour scheme together as a whole.

Green is a calming colour, and one which is used often in luxury spas and beauty parlours. If you want to re-recreate this vibe in your bathroom, then using an emerald green interior is a great starting point. Mixing a pale, blush pink into the colour scheme adds a softness and feminine aspect to the space, and the wicker accessories and indoor plants complete the relaxing haven.

What colours go with an emerald green interior?
Crisp whites offer a refreshing contrast to emerald walls. Shades such as Coronation Gown and Constellation have a slight green hue so will combine especially well with their darker counterpart.
Pale pink shades against a darker emerald green background offer a softer, more feminine appeal. Pink Petticoat and Pink Diamond are shades that would work especially well here.
Dark grey and black shades work with emerald green when you are trying to create a dark, sultry vibe in a study, lounge or snug. Try Tempest Teapot or Downing Street for shades to fit in with this trend.
Pale grey paints such as Moon Shadow and Grey Morn are calming, silvery grey shades that could be combined with an emerald green interior. These shades would look especially luxurious in a bedroom or boudoir setting.
