IKEA Just Launched New Glassware in the Color of the Season — It's a Hue That Interior Designers Love
This jewel-toned green is having its moment — here's how you can bring the trend home
It's official! Emerald green is the hottest color this spring. Jewel tones undeniably adds a certain air of regal opulence that you don't find in other colors, and this emerald green in particular is sure to add a vibrant pop of color that will bring any room to life. Embracing color trends can be tricky considering there is a new it color each season. But if we're being honest, we prefer it this way - it gives us the perfect excuse to switch up our decor and spruce up our homes with each passing season.
And it's no surprise that IKEA has nailed this color trend with their gorgeous collection of emerald green glassware. Chic yet affordable - one look at this vividly green range and you'll be itching to host a slew of spring soirées.
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.
