Guest Picks: Have a Shiny, Happy Spring With Green and Gold

The green and gold color combo is popping up in many spots around the home. And it’s not just the earthy shade of green, but emeralds, pastel mints and crisp greens paired with metallic gold or gold-toned brass. My personal favorite is the combo of mint green (even though emerald is my birthstone) and gold, because it feels girly, light and perfect for spring. Check out these 20 finds that pair a shade of green with a pop of gold for a happy color mix. — Jen from The Haystack Needle

Gold Heart on Mint Green Linen Pillow Cover by Sukan - $35.60 Mint-green linen with a gold heart — that’s a happy pairing, for sure. I’d love this heart pillow for my daughter’s bed — or, let’s face it, my own.


Oh Joy! Pitcher, Aqua - $13 This acrylic pitcher from the Oh Joy line for Target couldn’t be more chic, thanks to the color choice. The translucent emerald-green body paired with the gold handle is glam, and this piece is affordable.


Green Davia Hall Cabinet - $449.99 This pretty cabinet has antique gold hardware, a slightly Asian style and a crisp moss-green finish. This is the kind of cabinet you can use in almost any room, like the dining room for dishes or the bedroom for spare linens. The cheerful green color makes it a fun accent piece.


Vintage Books, Green With Silver and Gold Accents by Astronave, Set of 6 - $38 I love decorating with books and grouping books by color. It’s a quick and easy way to style a mantel or coffee table.


Gold and Teal Aberdeen Curtain - $34.99 This colorful, traditional curtain has a few shades of green paired with some golden hues, making one dramatic statement. Adding textiles like this to a room would surely make it feel cozy.


Emerald Glassware, Sets of 4 (by Type) - $31.80 Glass flutes, highballs, goblets — pick your set of emerald glasses to clink. I’d mix these bold and glamorous glasses with dishware in other colors, like pink, mint and yellow.


The Tiny Papier-Mâché Bowl, Seafoam Mint Green and Gold by Etco - $10 This small papier-mâché bowl is mint green on the outside and shiny gold on the inside. It’s the perfect size for jewelry or trinkets. I’d gift it to a girlfriend getting married as a special spot for her rings.


Brass Hexagon Planter - $54 You can literally add life to a room with some green plants in metallic planters. Take this brass geometric planter and add a mix of green succulents. I just love its lines.


Mint Gold Chevron Fitted Crib Sheet by Little Wolf - $65 I’m a big fan of baby and kid linens that are not full of characters and animals and princesses. This sweet crib sheet has a mint green backdrop and a golden arrow pattern.


Vintage French Provincial 6-Drawer Dresser, Green by Wood Remains I love the French provincial style of this dresser, and its green shade could work in many spaces.


Arrow Garland, Mint, Silver and Gold by Elisabeth Nicole - $25 I’m so smitten with this paper arrow garland in mint greens and gold. I’d hang it from my mantel as a pretty accent for a party or anytime I’m craving some color.


Faux Antlers Plaque Wall Hanging by Mahzer & Vee - $68 I doubt the faux-taxidermy trend will ever really go away, so here’s a mint green and gold antler piece that feels more glam than rustic.


Vintage Teacups, Green Gold Leaf Design by Nikki's Fun Finds, Set of 4 - $19 These vintage teacups have gold handles and a green vine pattern circling the rims. I love how they feel not only vintage, but also classic and timeless. (I always worry about lead and old metal finishes with dishes, though, so I’d probably use these mostly for display.)


Mint and Gold Canvas Art by A Sparkly Affair - $25 Polka dots instantly add a little happiness and whimsy to a space. This canvas art with gold and mint polka dots would be fun hung in a girly home office or nursery.


Gentle Reminders Pencils, Mint and Gold by Amanda Catherine Designs, Set of 6 - $12 Maybe doing work (and taxes, ugh) would not be so bad if we all had desks stocked with adorable mint-green pencils. And if those pretty pencils have little pep-talk sayings written in gold, even better.


Hollis Rug - $2,299 I’m loving the design of this aqua green and gold wool rug. I think the geometric pattern balances the girly color palette.


Hand-Painted Mint Magic Treasure Box With Golden Stars by Zodiac & Zephyr - $13 My toddler daughter seems to have adopted my love for pretty containers. We would both love this mint box with gold stars and a shiny golden interior.


Faceted Sotara Knob, Mint - $8 Anthropologie has made itself the spot for pretty hardware, it seems. Its knob selection is quite large. I’d love a couple of these faceted mint knobs with brassy gold stems to update my closet.


Mint and Gold Coasters by The Coastal, Set of 4 - $30 These coasters have mint green with a touch of gold in a graphic, geometric pattern. I don’t have any use for coasters in the living room (no fancy coffee table to protect), but I like to use them in the bathroom and kitchen for soaps and sponges.


Pretty Vintage Mint Green Dinner Plate by 3 Sisterz Jewelry - $12 Wow, this is a stunner of a dinner plate! Mint green, a swirly garland of gold and a golden rim make this vintage plate a keeper. When it comes to fancy patterned china, I love the idea of mix and match (which makes vintage dishes ideal).
