Jewel Tones for Autumn Decorating

September 4, 2013

Make a great impact this Autumn by incorporating a few jewel-toned home accessories! Colors based on gems (rubies, emeralds, topaz and sapphire) are dramatic and perfectly exemplify the Mexican culture. Mexican Homes are highly influenced by the colors of the sea, sky, flowers and spices of the local terrain. With the upcoming arrival of autumn, we tend to focus on reds, oranges and the warm tones of the season; however don't forget about using emerald green and sapphire blue too.

Real Simple Magazine offers great advice about using jewel tones, "To keep a room feeling unified rather than hectic, choose pieces with similar color values (or intensities), with reflective accents—mercury glass, gilded frames—make you feel enveloped by the color rather than imprisoned by a tiny room," says Jessica Becker, an interior designer in Providence.

Make your table sparkle! Our Handblown Picazzo Glassware features swirled jewel tones which will make an immediate impression upon guests and are perfect for everyday use. Talavera Place Settings are created for everyday use and are bursting with color!
