Top Trends: Dreamy Emerald Green Décor
Before we break down every way to incorporate emerald green, let’s go over some top trends to consider for 2022. Surrealism is having a major resurgence this year, and it’s easy to see why. Dreamy décor can instantly give your space a stylish look. Consider art deco and Mid-century-inspired shapes and lines for an elegant (albeit eclectic touch). Emerald green is a timeless color that can seamlessly blend the past and the present. Pair it with shimmering metallic shades and create a space filled with emerald green and gold décor. You want to curate a refined escape from reality. Hang a piece of dreamy, surrealism-inspired artwork in the center of your space. Don’t miss out on this trend handpicked by our art director, Tirzah Goodman. This is a great emerald green bedroom idea if you are looking for a way to create a serene and symbolic atmosphere, but an offbeat, abstract print can also work beautifully anywhere in your home.
Emerald Green Living Room Ideas
Looking for the perfect place to experiment with the dreamy, dark green trend? Play with emerald green living room décor! Your living room is the most communal space in your home, and it’s also the most visible. Areas with high visibility will give you more bang for your buck when you purchase new décor. Rather than hanging your new print above the couch, try to create a more unconventional cozy area with two emerald green, velvet arm chairs. Your surrealistic print will give off a quirky feel that will instantly be balanced by the sleek furniture in your living space. A dreamy piece of wall art filled with emerald green tones will make your living room look instantly more put together AND unique.

How to Incorporate Emerald Green
For a great pop of color that won’t overwhelm your space, consider emerald green. If you’re searching for a way to add contrast while still maintaining a refined look, emerald is the way to go. Start with a neutral color palette for a contemporary appearance, and add emerald green through accessories like wall décor. Complement the green décor with organic elements like live greenery and houseplants. Depending on the effect you want to achieve, choose a white or dark base. For a light, bright, minimalist look, a white base is ideal. If you want something more daring and dramatic, try painting an entire accent wall in charcoal gray or emerald green.
