Jewel Tones Hot for Home Decor in 2018

Just as jewels make an outfit sparkle, vibrant jewel tones bring a dose of bling to home decor. These bright, rich hues will be trending in 2018 for home decor and whether you go for a few accent pieces or an entire jewel-tone color scheme depends upon your taste.

Sapphire Blue

Cool, rich and soothing, sapphire blue adds a sophisticated touch to any space. It’s a very popular color choice for living rooms and bedrooms in particular. Single pieces such as a light fixture, side chair or occasional table provide a versatile pop of color without being too bold. Feeing brave? Opt for a large sofa or paint the walls.

Often, jewel tones are associated with a more luxe style of interior, but this isn’t always the case. Vivid colors can be a part of any style of home decor. The bright blue painted dresser below is a good example of a piece that is perfect for a more bohemian, or “Jungalow” style of decor.

Turquoise

Evocative of the sea and sky, lively turquoise is a popular jewel tone for brightening up a space. There’s something calming about turquoise pieces, even when used to enliven a room’s color scheme. Mixing the vibrant hue with other shades of blue and green adds an elemental feeling. Here, a casual hanging light fixture from Canopy Designs incorporates green jewel tones as well.

Bold fuchsia to bright salmon and cotton candy pink — these jewel tones really light up a room’s decor. This glass-topped bar that is made with custom architectural and decorative laminated glass and lit from inside is the ultimate in color drama. Created by Cosmopolitan Glass, it is true luxury.

Color lovers will understand how a pink leather sofa, like this one from Ego Italiano, can work in a living room. The hue is decidedly bold and different, but pairing it with earthy hues prevents it from being too feminine or overly syrupy.

Fuchsia on its own is a dramatic feature, but when used for a tall-back tufted seat, it makes for double drama. Here, the piece is paired with equally vibrant pillows, but to tone down the vibrancy it could be used with neutral colored cushions.

Velvet upholstery in cotton candy pink, complemented by a silver frame, yields a definitely feminine piece. While this chair would be at home in a living room, it would be well suited to a bedroom or dressing area, especially at a dressing table.

Fuchsia with more of a purple undertone gives added versatility to an upholstered armchair. Although it too is done in velvet, the slim metallic legs make it mid-century modern and a little less feminine. The chair comes from Resource Decor.

Fuchsia works for the bathroom too. This jewel tone is at home in a funky bathroom style that is great for kids. The unique shapes of the fixtures in this bathroom — including the pan-shaped sink — work well with such a bold color for the vanity and cube wall shelving.

Pink bedrooms have long been associated with little girls, but a platform bed upholstered in this jewel tone can be utterly adult when the decor is designed properly. Set on a wood plank floor, against a neutral wall and alongside moss-colored furnishings, the bed is not unusually feminine.

Adding jewel toned accessories is great way to add a touch of color. Silk plants mixed with moss and other natural elements make for a colorful and changeable display that can easily add pop to your living space.

Go big or go small, but give jewel tone colors a try in your home. Just like the jewels for which they are termed, they add sparkle and pizazz to your home decor, no matter what your decor style.
