SMART THINKING

Balancing and soothing, versatile green can be used in any space, with rich and dark shades adding gravitas and classic style.

Balancing and soothing, green is super versatile and can be used in any space.

Recreating the rich and vibrant colour of healthy foliage, dark green brings life to any space. Greens are very versatile and can be used in any room. A balancing and soothing colour, green works particularly well in living rooms and bedrooms. In the image above, the monochromatic accessories, with subtle touches of black, white and gold, keep the mood cosy and serene. Dark green also works very well with creamy, neutral tones for a relaxing vibe. When it comes to working with colour combinations, the options are endless. Pink and green is a popular high- contrast colour combination for elegant interiors. For something more bold and dramatic, mid and dark greens also work beautifully with mid and dark blues. Green mixed with natural tones and materials, including wood and linens, is also a great combination for creating a restorative space. Mid and dark greens can come in both warm and cool tones, depending on their undertone. Greens with a heavy yellow undertone are usually warmer, while greens with a bluer undertone are cooler. When viewed, warm colours appear to advance, making a room feel more intimate, while cool colours appear to recede, making a room feel more spacious.
