I don’t know if it’s spring fever, daylight savings time, or St. Patrick’s Day—but I’m looking to the color green for inspiration right now. It’s a timeless hue that’s fresh and natural and looks good in every room. I adore every shade, from spring green to emerald, mint to celery, and everything in between. Whether it’s for furniture, wall color, rugs, throw pillows or lighting—there’s a shade of green that’s perfect. Here’s a look at some gorgeous greens and how they influence us in home décor:
Green Refreshes
Green has the ability to bring the outdoors inside—especially when paired with whites and natural tones and textures.
Green has Charisma
Bradington-Young chair in emerald green leather
Green doesn’t just say: “Look at me,” it says “Come talk to me.” Interesting applications of green, like on this leather chair from Bradington Young, add interest and character to a space. And nothing is more stunning than the combination of emerald green and a dark wood finish
Green is Happy
How could you keep from smiling in this kitchen?
There are many greens that just make you smile. Bright, saturated shades—like the one used on these cabinets—are fun and delightful.
Green is the Perfect Accent
Green accents add a pop of energy to your space
Green provides the perfect foil to many classic color combinations, such as: black and white, shades of gray, and brown and tan.
Green Works Everywhere
The Midori Chest from the Melange collection feels like an energetic neutral
Green is one of the few shades that works well with any room or decor style. On this Midori Chest from Hooker Furniture, the subtle green feels like a neutral, just with more energy. From entryways to living spaces, kitchens to baths—green is at home.
Green is a Chameleon
In addition to its popular combinations (green and white, green and brown, green and pink), green looks stunning paired next to nearly every shade on the color wheel.
Green is Timeless
This Stella Ottoman from Homeware.com refreshes in a peridot shade
With a shade of green that works for nearly every furniture style and room type—it’s easy to see why green never goes out of style. I love how this classic square ottoman from Homeware.com looks updated when covered in a trellis-patterned fabric on a yellow-green background.
Green is Yummy
No March blog post would be complete without a Lucky Charms-based dessert, and it even has little green marshmallows inside.
