Sunday Inspiration - Navy & Emerald

Sarah Back

This bedroom pairs the Pantone Color of 2013 Emerald and my Chinoiserie Chic Color of the Year Navy in this pretty Chinoiserie bedroom. Navy and white anchor the space, with emerald green being used as an accent. Here is what the designer has to say about her use of navy -

Sarah Back (backinteriors.com) loves to use navy to anchor a light-colored space or to create a homey haven. It transitions easily from summer to fall with a quick change of accent colors—pair with coral and kelly green during warm months, red or olive the rest of the year. Or simply stick with blue and white as Back does here, and add gold for a touch of glam.

“Navy shows up in every project I do. It’s making a resurgence, and it’s so versatile. It looks as great on a wingback chair as it does on a Barcelona. It’s practically a neutral, and gives a space a warm and cheerful feeling.” —Sarah Back
