Green with Envy


St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and Cherry City Interiors & Design would like to know how you will be celebrating this festively green holiday.

When it comes to decorating your interior during the holiday, sometimes a nod to theme is best than a literal adornment of decorations.

St. Patrick’s Day can be a tricky holiday to achieve this. Here are several ways you can have your shamrock shake and eat it too!

No longer do you need to search in the yard for your lucky four leaf clover, because there is a great architectural element called the quatrefoil. The word quatrefoil means “four leaves” in Latin, which can easily be associated with the lucky four leaf clover.

The quatrefoil mirrored credenza and quatrefoil lumbar pillow add a repetitive pattern in this traditional meets mid-century space.

Every aspect of this space has some sort of structured shape to it, so it was cleverly designed to utilize the quatrefoil in the coffee table to continue featuring geometric shapes throughout the space.
Below are some great pieces of furniture that could be used to decorate your home during this holiday.







There is also the option of designing your home for St. Patrick's Day in the literal sense. Adding anything green to your home can correlate to the holiday themed colors, but also just because if you are like me, you love GREEN!



 I LOVE this green, black & white color scheme. This is a little on the extreme side and a commitment, but definitely tolerable. The green is used as the accent and as you can see, the show stopper.

The geometric upholstery on the chair adds a little pizzaz to the kitchen. A great way to incorporate these bold colors is in items that can easily be changed out. This is especially important to remember because like most of us, our taste changes over time.





The above photographs are some easy to change literal interpretations of the holiday. These items can be put away as the festivities pass, making it easier to celebrate the holiday in style.  

How will you celebrate St. Patrick's day this year?!?
