Stylish Ways to Use Birthstone Hues in Your Home Decor

Centered by a custom walnut-slab table, this glam dining room is punctuated by deep, rich garnet. "Colors have connecting, healing and emotional properties that can affect us," says designer Tineke Triggs. "Use colors that make you feel good in the room." In addition to drawing the eye to the artwork, Tineke says, "Red is the color of power and energy," perfect for social people that entertain a lot.

A dramatic four-poster bed in rich red is the eye-catching gem of this eclectic, inviting bedroom. Slate-gray walls give a cozy feel to this high-ceilinged room while a pair of dainty, sparkling chandeliers lend a luxe touch.

"When using natural jewel tones in a space, you’ll be sure to make a strong color statement," says designer Kenna Stout. "Colors like amethyst create an unexpected sense of whimsy, while feeling luxurious and calming all at once."

"We loved the texture and depth that the amethyst [geode] brought to this styled cocktail table. It complemented the intense color palette of the vintage table while adding another layer of natural beauty and sophistication," Kenna says.

Shades of dark and light purple define this contemporary bedroom with a fresh feel. Playfully-patterned bedding and complementary walls make a statement, while airy white drapes and neutral carpeting keep the look from being overpowering.
