Pourquoi Ça Marche
Jewel tones are deeply saturated colors named after gemstones: emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red, amethyst purple, and topaz gold. These colors command attention through their richness and depth — they are the visual opposite of the neutral minimalism that has dominated interiors for the past decade. Jewel tones work because they create emotional warmth and visual drama without the harshness of bright or neon colors. Their depth and saturation make rooms feel intimate and luxurious, like being wrapped in velvet. The palette also plays well with both gold and silver metallics, warm and cool woods, and a range of supporting neutrals, making it more versatile than it appears at first glance.
Comment Obtenir Ce Style
- 1
Choose one dominant jewel tone for a statement piece or accent wall
- 2
Keep the base palette neutral — warm white, cream, or soft gray
- 3
Add a second jewel tone through textiles and accessories
- 4
Use gold or brass hardware and frames to tie the jewel tones together
- 5
Upholster key pieces in velvet for maximum color saturation
- 6
Balance with plenty of white space and neutral surfaces
Pick one jewel tone as the hero and use the others as supporting accents — emerald sofa, sapphire cushions, ruby art.

Jewel tones are a high-stakes color choice — the saturation that looks dramatic in inspiration photos can overwhelm in a real room.

Questions Fréquentes
Will jewel tones make my room feel small?
Dark, saturated colors can blur boundaries and make walls recede, which some rooms actually benefit from. In small rooms, use jewel tones on one accent wall or through furniture rather than on all surfaces. A jewel-tone velvet armchair adds richness without shrinking the space.
Which jewel tone is easiest to decorate with?
Emerald green is the most versatile — it pairs with warm neutrals, gold, pink, navy, and wood tones. Sapphire blue is a close second. Ruby red and amethyst purple require more careful pairing to avoid feeling dated or theatrical.
What design styles pair with jewel tones?
Art Deco is the most natural match — the style was built for jewel tones and gold. Bohemian, maximalist, and traditional styles also embrace rich colors. Even modern spaces benefit from a single jewel-tone statement piece against a neutral backdrop.
