10 Ways To Add Mint Into Your Home

Are you loving the Emerald Green or are you already over it? I have to say, I think it’s a beautiful color but I feel like MINT has slowly taken over as the  color of the year.

10 Ways To Add Mint Into Your Home (via designdininganddiapers.com)

I love how mint is being incorporated into every style of home decor from shabby chic to industrial and even modern contemporary. No matter your style, there is a place for some mint! I’ve been playing around with some ideas for Miss E’s room so I thought I’d put together a list of Ways To Add Mint Into Your Home.

    I love this inspiration, Taryn. I am really loving mint too. I’m playing around trying to incorporate it into my bedroom. I especially love the open frames really pretty!

    Mint’s my fave! So glad it seems to be taking the stores by storm! It’s been all over the place in clothes too which had me ecstatic. My family was all able to get shades of minty goodness for family photos a few months back!

    Love mint green. When I was little I always kept the sea green (which is so close to mint green) and coral crayons out of all of the 64 packs I had so nobody else would use them. So happy that some of my favorite colors are back in style. I love the Tonight We Are Young Pillow…now that song is totally stuck in my head ;)

    Oh yeah, yummmmmy. It’s so close to light aqua too. I’m really loving light thru to darker shades of aqua with coral. The aqua and mint look gorgeous side by side. Love the open frames, I’m needing to do that with frames next on my shutter shelf (my rendition of a mantel). You have so many wonderful examples of how to use mint. Makes me drool. I’m very much a color person, gotta have it in my rooms. Nothing like keeping our senses wild. Take care and happy week

    Oh I’m swooning Taryn- I so love this shade. Reminds me of the beach- which I miss so much. I would do all of these if I could work it in to our cabin decor.

    I love mint but sadly there’s no place for it in my home. I try to incorporate it into my wardrobe or wear it on my fingers. I love all the inspiration pictures. Makes me want to rethink my color choices…

#ad We’ve been working on a few refreshes in our backyard this year! The sun has worn down a lot of our furniture out here so we are swapping out our weathered umbrella tables with these gorgeous black fluted tables from @veradek . I already had the matching planters out here (and love them BTW), and decided to add one more in the SandStone color for a bit of contrast. #myveradek #reimagineoutdoors #meetyououtside

Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.
