This year we are seeing less neutrals and more bright, bold colors schemes trending in home design — and right now we are living for Emerald Green across the Emerald Coast.

Deep and dark green hues are a big hit in the interior design market this year and we can't get enough. You can incorporate this accent color into your home with furnishings like a statement couch, a throw blanket or accent pillows. Want something a little more bold? Add a splash of green paint to your walls, choose some colorful cabinetry or incorporate this palette by choosing some deep green mosaic tiles.

Pairing swatches of bright white and off whites is a new color trend that we are loving!

Freshen your home up with a soft and sophisticated palette. Using white throughout your home not only brightens up your house, but also makes it feel larger and more open and adds a touch of glamor. We particularly love pairing a combination of cool whites, off whites and gray whites and polishing it off with silver accents for a modern feel. Try this look today and start small with a guest room of fresh white linens, or go big with an open living space and a bold white couch.
