Use modern pieces. When you inject jewel tones into a space with hard edges and clean lines it adds a whole other element to the design. It brings a little whimsy and fun. Unexpected, these colors add life and personality to no-nonsense furniture.

Use unexpected fabrics. How often do you see linen in anything other than neutral?  A teal dining chair has a more modern appeal than the typical beige or white. The frayed edges of the fabric allow this look to be more casual and inviting.

Use with dark colors for a moody vibe. The result is dramatic and chic. Jewel tones like rich plums have an edge when paired with charcoal or dark taupe. Layering in a blend of design elements such as polished metal lamps paired with industrial tables creates an overall eclectic design.

Go glam. Start with your favorite jewel-inspired hue in a luxurious fabric and pair with white for contrast. Then add gold accessories such as mirrors and framed artwork. A limited color palette tends to give these rich colors a more modern feel.

Keep it crisp with white. A saturated blue accent chair pops against white walls and creates a statement in this neutral space. Notice the lack of a pillow or throw. When creating a modern look with jewel tones there’s no need to over accessorize. These colors speak for themselves.
