EARTHY GREEN ACCENTS

As our seemingly never-ending winter melts (slowly) into spring, we’re surrounded by mud, flash-freezes and some surprise late snow when all most of us really want is to be surrounded by lush greenery, bright florals and earthy scents of springtime. Fear

- writes S. Evelyn Cimesa.

GRASS ART

Embrace the wilderness and opt for some nature-inspired artwork in your home. With everything from renditions of the Amazon rainforest to photoreali­stic florals, there’s something for everyone. This abstract jungle glasswork piece was crafted by Louise Haugaard of Denmark. Its pastel tones and unique style let it fit in just about anywhere. Find it at BoConcept.

TIME OF YOUR LIFE

Timepieces are often overlooked within the home — they’re there to serve function more than form. Some of us even forgo purchasing clocks since most household appliances, as well as cellphones, display the time for us. However, one can make an exception for this stunning marble clock: it breathes life into a space, grounds you and truly reminds you of the Earth. Find it at BoConcept.

WALK IN THE PARK

Rugs have a way of tying a room together: they can accent the softer colours in the room, echo the main palette or even provide a gorgeous contrast to add interest in the space. They’re also available in many textures, so homeowners can use them to create an experience when guests walk through. This wool and viscose rug was hand-tufted and features a green fern pattern. It would be an excellent addition to any naturethem­ed space. Find it at BoConcept.

OLIVE ACCENTS

Seating areas are among the most fun spaces to decorate — after you’re finished picking out key knick knacks, light fixtures and artwork, you can lie back on your couch and enjoy your creation. I personally love picking out pillows. Not only do they come in such a variety of textures, sizes and patterns, but they’re soft and cosy and make relaxing on the couch so much more enjoyable. Find this one at BoConcept.

LUSH SEATING

Green can be everywhere and anywhere, and this botanic trend reminds us of warmer temperatur­es, great outdoor adventures and the beauty of spring. This lush forest green sofa features Napoli fabric, a soft velvet material, and is perfect for lounging while still keeping a formal look. Find it at BoConcept. All items are available through BoConcept online, or you can visit their closest store in Laval, near Montreal.
