Green rooms seem to be everywhere in interior design—from painted finishes, upholstery, soft fabrics, and even house plants—and you know what? We absolutely love it!
Adding a pop of green in any room brings a fresh, inviting, and serene feel. That’s why in this special follow up to our blog post about Why We Love Blue Rooms, we’re sharing why we love green rooms and how to bring more of this timeless color into your home.
1. A Timeless, Calming Color
While trends may shift, green has always held its ground as a timeless color choice for one simple reason: people associate green with nature and tranquility.
Research suggests that green hues can actually reduce stress levels when used in bedrooms and lounge areas, which is why we love incorporating green on softgoods like bedding, rugs, pillows, or even drapery panels.
2. The Endless Spectrum of Green
Another reason we love green rooms are the wide range of shades available to suit any mood. From sage to chartreuse, green is a truly versatile color that layers easily, always looks fresh, and can be fairly easy to match into existing spaces.
Unsure of what shade of green will work your existing space? Here’s some of our favorite strategies:
- If you’re aiming for a more dramatic look, consider deep green tones to make a statement. We used this strategy in this Hartwell Upholstered Sofa shown above.
- For a peaceful ambiance, lighter green shades as accents are the way to go. Notice how the soft greens in both angles of the living room shown below give off a natural feel, almost like sitting in a tranquil garden oasis.
- Add a small splash of natural green texture by accessorizing with faux or real houseplants. They look great styled on a bookshelf, office desk, or even hanging from the ceiling.
