St. Patrick's Day Weekend: Designing with Green
Happy (almost) St. Patrick's Day everyone! We're getting into the festive spirit with some design inspiration surrounded in none other than...GREEN. What better way to get into the spirit than by diving into some great interior design ideas with a fun, bold color?! Read more below for your next lucky green inspiration.
Go Bold With The Sofa
The easiest way to bring in the festivities of the Irish all year long is by choosing a bold green sofa for you next living room remodel! Green is so much fun to play with but if you're hesitant to bring in this hue to your space, then we suggest opting for a singular piece to exude this shade. The sofa is a great option because you can keep your pillows and throw blankets neutral and/or seasonal depending on the time of year and there are great options for a sophisticated sleek green look for sofas available in stores now. Start shopping and have your new favorite sitting area finished before you can toast to the next holiday!
Plants & Florals
Another great way of designing with green is by implementing this shade through plants and florals. What better way to let that green shine through than by sprouting in its natural element! With natural light coming through your windows mixed with wicker furniture and bohemian area rugs, you've now just created the perfect cozy and elegant space. Every plant and flower pot can be different but that's what's so great about green. You can mix and match however you'd like! Run to your nearest plant shop today and add some green into your home.
Accentuated Walls
We love a good accent wall and by painting one wall in either your bedroom, home office, or even your living room a shade of green, then this can truly elevate any space! Go for a more subtle shade when painting a bedroom to keep those peaceful and serene vibes in place, but go for a more bold and daring green in your home office to spice up your work space. Don't be afraid to test samples that work for you. Green is a great way to bring a unique and stunning color into your home, but it should always reflect your personality and style.
Keep It Neutral
The last way to implement green into your home this holiday season is by keeping it neutral. This could be through throw pillows, blankets, headboards, night stands, kitchen cabinets, or even your front door. Green doesn't have to "scream" green, it just needs to be subtle enough to have a large impact on your space. If you have many colors throughout your home already, then green is not one of those shades that should compete. You want your space to be cohesive and warm. Green goes well white whites, browns, and tans although it typically doesn't pair well with red and bright yellow for their high contrasting qualities. Keep this in mind for your next shopping spree!
We hope you all have a great St. Patrick's Day and be sure to notice those subtle ways of incorporating green when you're out celebrating with friends and family.
