Guest Picks: Minty Goodness for Every Room

The new year has me thinking of bringing fresh colors into my home, and none is more prefect than mint. It’s a little green, not quite pastel and perfectly bright and modern. It goes well with neutrals, blues and grays, and it can be added to a space in textiles, accessories or paint. If you are looking for a new color for your home, mint might just be your new best friend. — Jessica from Decor Adventures

Organic Shaped Dinnerware, Mint, Sets of 4 All of my dishes are white, but I’ve been wanting to bring some color to my dinner parties. With these minty delights, the food will still take center stage, but the dishes will add brightness and beauty all the way from soup to dessert.


Spool Side Table, Mint - $98 I have a side table in my home with a similar shape, and now I want to paint it mint! In a neutral room, this table would be the life of the party. My guest room could use a dose of freshness, and this bright little piece would be a welcome addition.


Mint Ecofriendly Recycled Pencils by Moxie Pear, Set of 5 - $5.25 I’m currently in the midst of an office makeover, and these are on my list. They will perfectly match my chair and look adorable on my desk. When’s the last time you used a pencil?


Ceramic Owl, Mint Julep by Claylicious Accessories as cute and fresh as these are must-haves for the home. Let them liven up your bedside table or bookshelves.


Honeycomb Glass Pendant, Green - $64 I’m dying over this mint honeycomb light — almost enough to order it right about now. Modern, geometric, fun and minty, it’s the perfect way to bring a little color and fun to a space. You don’t even have to hardwire it, as it comes with a pendant kit.


Zigzag Shower Curtain, Mint - $44 Don’t forget about the bathroom when adding a dash of mint to your home. This shower curtain works in both modern and traditional spaces, and the shade is perfect.


Triple Decker Shelf, Mint - $44 Many people forget about using the walls for storage. I’m loving the design of this shelf, which offers a display area for plants, pretty bottles or even toiletries. I could see it in a bedroom, bathroom or kitchen or on a covered porch.


Quadruple Wall Hook, Mint - $16 Four hooks are always better than one. This little buddy will keep your keys, dog leashes and jackets where you always need them, and it will stand out nicely against white walls.


Milk Glass Cake Plate - $65 What’s better in mint than milk glass? I just ordered this cake stand and plan to use it in my office to hold my business cards and maybe a small picture frame. I think using items outside their traditional functions creates a unique and interesting home.


Fabrikör Glass-Door Cabinet, Light Green - $179 A little bit retro with a lot of versatility, this cabinet is so affordable. The clear glass doesn’t add a lot of bulk, and as a bonus, you won’t have to dust what’s inside.


Antique Milk Green Glass Pull - $4.65 Apparently I love mint-colored glass, because I think these drawer pulls are just so pretty. They have a fairly traditional shape but have a modern touch too. I could see them on a white dresser.


Berry Basket, Mint - $16.95 Every kitchen needs some cute bowls to hold fruit, so why not make yours an authentic-looking berry basket? Line it with a linen napkin to hold muffins or granola for brunch.


Nate Berkus Aztec Diamond Bath Rug, Mint - $19.99 Mint can even be used as a neutral. Try this rug to add just the right amount of color and texture. This diamond pattern is an absolute favorite of mine.


Corrigan Chair, Mint - $1,698 I have a chair similar to this one, and it’s where my love of the color started. My house has lots of neutrals and some blue accents, and I think the mint is the perfect addition to the color palette.


Tin TIN-05 Wallpaper - $329 Have you ever heard of tin-ceiling-tile wallpaper? It has the look of authentic tiles but comes in rolls that you can easily adhere to walls or ceilings. This minty color is my favorite.


Mint Smiley Dustpan - $14.99 Cleaning my house would not be a problem with this little guy as a partner. It’s friendly and sturdy, just what you need to sweep up the floors. I love the long handle on the brush too.


Mint Retro Galvanized Trash Can - $19.99 A trash can won’t look like one when it’s as pretty as this. You could also use it to store magazines, laundry, blankets or shoes. Plus, the lid makes it a complete package — no need to see any mess inside.


Beacon Hill Cheetah Velvet Mint Fabric - $164.20 Sewing is one of my favorite hobbies, so I’m always on the lookout for new fabrics. This one is a bold choice, but because I already have accents of mint in my home, it could be a showstopper on curtains or pillows.


Dahlia Pillow Cover, Mint Green by Aldari Home - $35 Pillows are one of the best ways to add a color like mint to your decor. This one is perfect for spring, and why not get ready for the new season now? Its simple design and bright white accents are a lovely combination.


Van Alen Green HC-120 Paint This collection of all things mint wouldn’t be complete without a paint color to use on your walls or for a furniture makeover. Van Alen Green is a modern shade of mint with a hint of gray.


Azores AF-495 Paint Azores by Benjamin Moore is a more medium shade of mint, with a hint of ever-popular gray. It’s perfect for both walls and furniture.
