Mad for Malachite-Inspired Home Decor

  by Mariel January 4, 2016

Posted In Fabric, Interior Design, Wallpaper

Malachite – pronounced mal-a-kite – is a semi-precious gemstone that has become a design world darling as of late. Believed to be a protector of wee ones and said to prevent accidents and mishaps when worn, this gorgeous green mineral is popping up in everything from furnishings and fabrics to this Cole & Son wallpaper (pictured above in a photo courtesy of Ken Fulk for Pottery Barn). I probably could’ve used a bit of malachite’s magical protective powers this past weekend when my one-year-old took a header down two steps and landed in the ER…twice. But I digress.

For a recent project, I was tasked with creating a serene yet inspiring guestroom that elicited a restful state of mind without being a full-on bore. I decided to swath the room in soothing neutrals – creams and ivories, crisp whites and caramels – but then punctuated the beige haze with rich emeralds, jades and malachite-greens. The effect was cool yet lush, calm yet creative. It feels urbane but not untouchable and I hope this little jewel of a guestroom becomes a place that friends and family members want to return to again and again. Only when invited, of course.
