Jewel tones aren’t common, yet they are distinct and immediate attention grabbers! Think of them as high profile members of the colours family. Think of red as ruby, blue as cool sapphire, forest green as luxe emerald, and yellow as sunkissed amber.
The jewel colours are timeless and often speak of luxury; they are still visible in aristocratic homes and royal palaces. They need to be handled with care as going overboard can ruin the entire look.
Don’t worry! Jewel colours can completely transform your home with their timeless elegance.
Adding sparkle to your home...
We’ve curated some handy tricks and trips to help you incorporate the magic of assorted jewels into your abode:
A vibrant piece of furniture
To incorporate a little charm of jewel-tones into your home without overdoing it, adding a sofa or armchair is the best option. You can also try to mix and match shiny fabrics to dress the furniture - such as velvet, silk or gloss velvet, etc. These luxurious fabric pieces will instantly enhance the overall look of the space.
Add some glamour to the walls
Setting a perfect base tone is the key to a glamorous room. Painting the walls with key paint colour - steel grey, sapphire blue or simply opting for wallpapers with floral or geometric patterns in jewel shades will take the drama up a notch.
A punch of jewel-coloured accessories
A perfect living area should display harmony in colours and nothing can brighten up space like bright coloured glass accessories. Accessorise the space with jewel-coloured glass pieces and create a joyful and cheery display.
Also, you can use a lot of throw pillows and jewel-colored blankets to give a regal look to your home.
Use soft furnishings
Neutral colour furnishings and jewel-toned walls make the perfect combination. To bring the focus onto the walls, you can use light or neutral shades for the sofa, settees in the living room and if it’s your bedroom, go for neutral coloured bedding, white quilt, etc.
Another way is to go for darker pieces of furniture - black or deep brown chest of drawers, wardrobes, etc. Dark shades provide more depth to the bright colours and it creates a chic theme.
Play with colourful curtains
To achieve the perfect jewel inspired look for your home, you can even experiment with curtains and rugs in the living room. If the wall colour is neutral or lighter in shade, opt for bright blues, reds or other brighter shades for curtains and if you have opted for a jewel-themed wall then neutral coloured curtains will make a great pairing.
Go neutral with interiors
If you are someone who wants to add some jewel dazzle to your abode and still wish to keep it subtle, you can opt for the neutral shades - milky opalescent colours, white or off whites, peach, etc.; it will give a sense of grandeur and airiness to the space and keep the jewel tones for the furniture.
Add a dark coloured wooden swing into the living room or armchairs with bright vibrant coloured fabrics or even cushions.
Gold is never too old
Nothing represents luxury like gold and jewels, in that order. When the two of them are paired together, it gives a stunning look to your space. For instance, you can use a bit of gold with jewel tones in the living room. For example, add wallpaper with gold carvings on the wall or a gold-based center table with jewel-toned couches, etc.
Experiment with jewel-toned upholstery
The best way to add jewel-toned interiors to your dwelling is through upholstery and seating elements. For example, the sofa, ottoman or armchair, etc. Try using bright colours like bright green, violet, maroon or other jewel-toned colours.
