St. Patrick's Day gets lots of attention where I live because so many of us have Irish roots. While the partying and music happened last weekend , I'm doing my own bit today by recommending green as a colour to consider in decor if you like to bring the outside in. When someone says they hate green , I'm flabbergasted. How can you hate the the most prominent colour in nature?
You can have a little green woven in with any other hues and it always looks good. Think plants. Is there any room a plant doesn't work in? Or you can have a green statement piece or green accessories mixed with another colour. The possibilities are endless when you think about the variety of greens and the proportion of use in a space.
A green statement piece
Just the merest hint of accents of green with plants and branches can liven a white space. This little amount of green only works well in very light space.
You can weave a little more green into any neutral space and it can either sit back and quietly warm it or...
say , "Look at me , I'm the life of the room". I'm particularly fond of this colour scheme and the use of texture in the space.
I guess you've figured out from my photo references that I like green with white and gray. It's the fresh punch that intrigues me , and for that you need a quiet background. There are other ways to work with greens using lots of black for instance , but then the room gets too shouty for me. Are you a lover of green?
