The Luck of the Irish: St. Patrick’s Day Inspired Design
Get ready to say Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Whether your Irish or not, I hope you’re spending today in green. This holiday is associated with clovers, leprechauns, rainbows, and anything emerald. St. Patrick’s Day, however, doesn’t have to be so literal. I’ve taken some inspiration from today’s holiday and translated it into interior design.
Clovers
Four leaf clovers can be converted to a fun pattern that could be placed anywhere: fabrics, walls, lamps, plates, etc. This pattern is an abstract form of the plant.
You don’t have to stick with green like the wallpaper above to use the clover shape in your design. Any color would work well with the pattern.
Make a bold statement with a clover inspired fabric couch. This may not be for everyone but this fabric could be practical if the other colors and accents are neutral in the room. It’s also important to keep the size of the couch relatively small.
The easiest way to implement clovers in your home, without being too loud, is through subtle accents.
Although these are not exactly clovers, this plant very much resembles clover leaves and can make a seasonal centerpiece for your table.
Rainbows
Most of us aren’t willing to paint our rooms every color of the rainbow. Use rainbows in small ways that will pop in your room. If you’re looking to add a chandelier to your home, try one that uses the colors of the rainbow and you’ll be guaranteed to grab guests’ attentions.
There’s alway gold at the end of that rainbow. Gold accessories to create a rich feeling in a room.
Color
Green can be an intimidating color to decorate with. If you missed our last post written by guest blogger Jessica from Arcadia Lighting, check out her design tips here on how to decorate with green accents.
St. Patrick’s Day doesn’t have to be entirely focused on green. You can design with the other subtle colors found in clovers.
