Bring the outdoors inside with a sophisticated and refreshing green palette. Green is a soothing, rejuvenating colour that can be used to energise a room or create a relaxing and restful atmosphere.

To bring a little green into a room, start by adding accessories in harmonious shades. You can add or subtract accessories depending on how green you want to go. Add a refreshingly natural look with flowers and house plants. For a big burst of green, choose a rug in multiple shades so that it will co-ordinate easily with sofas, recliner chairs and other furnishings in the room.

If you want to add a lot of green to the room, paint the walls your favourite green tone. Introduce a variety of other shades by adding furnishings like sofas, corner sofas, recliner chairs and accessories to create a refreshingly chic look. Temper strong greens with mild ones and incorporate multiple patterns for a balanced, layered look. Combine large scale prints with small ones, floral patterns with geometrics.

For a modern and exuberant green scheme that creates contrast, add accents on the opposite side of the colour wheel. Create a natural look with moss green and soft blue reminiscent of the forest and sky. Sea-foam green and chocolate brown creates a soothing look. Lime green and bright white are fresh and invigorating. For more dramatic effect, combine lime green with a splash of violet. Introduce dramatic colour combinations either on a feature wall, sofas, corner sofas, recliner chairs or accessories.
