Decorating With Celery Green

Walls

• Whether you want to saturate the space with this shade of green, or just add a touch of it, feature it on the walls to create a backdrop for the room. Paint all of the walls celery green, or feature it in combination with another color. For example, paint a focal wall celery green and paint the remaining walls a neutral shade, such as cream, white or even light brown. Another option is to paint the top half of the walls celery green and install wainscoting on the bottom half of the walls; a look that is well-suited for a country beach-inspired design.

Furnishings

• When decorating with celery green, choose furnishings that coordinate with the color and complement the look you are trying to create. For instance, for a contemporary dining room, use a glass-topped table set on top of brushed nickel legs surrounded by tall, straight-back chairs upholstered with celery green fabric. For a vintage-style bedroom, consider an antique brass bed frame and white wicker dressers.

Fabrics

• Add warmth and texture to the room with fabrics. Use a solid, celery green-colored area rug, or an area rug that features celery green in the design to bring the color down on the floor. Hang velvet floor-to-ceiling drapes to create a regal look in the room, or opt for celery green sheers for a breezy, whimsical look. In a living room, arrange throw pillows that feature celery green on the back of the sofa and drape a celery green-colored throw blanket across one of the arms of the sofa. If you're decorating a bedroom, dress the bed with linens that features this color -- a gingham print for a country chic room or a color block celery green comforter for a modern space.

Accessories

• Put the finishing touches on the room with decorative accessories. Use elements that coordinate with the style of the room. If you're decorating a beach retreat, for example, set out glass bowls filled with celery green-colored beach glass and display beach grass in celery green vases. If you want to create a contemporary look, hang a celery green splatter painting on a wall and illuminate the space with pendant lamps that are covered with celery green shades.
