Green Brings a Room to Life

The steel frames on this stunning wall of glass becomes even more striking when showcasing a brilliant green.

Here green is used in nearly a shocking fashion. Mint green walls, chartreuse pillows and a throw mixed with vibrant Kelly green foliage adds up to a dramatic space.

A warm earthy green is one of the best colors to use in rooms containing warm cherry wood tones. Used here above white wainscoting and modern furnishing the room feels very modern, yet warm and welcoming.

Designer Tineke Triggs loves to challenge clients to use color, and here she did so with success. This laundry room featuring lime green cabinetry is one of the client's favorite rooms of the house.

A bright green above white wainscoting really pops. Just a touch of the color is repeated in rug placed alongside the freestanding bathtub.

Here green used in the most classic way: on gorgeous wallpaper in a traditional dining room. It's quite dramatic against the black-and-white checkerboard flooring seen in the entry.

Green bedding, a green glass lamp and an upholstered bench introduce a contrast to the browns and taupes in this bedroom, with a serene and beautiful result.

Green is a great choice for the walls in children's rooms. Bedding and accessories in primary tones adds a visual punch to the design.

The apple green used on a small area of wall framing the built-in bed wonderfully defines the architecture of this bedroom. A small bit of green print on floor pillows and accessories repeats the color and helps the bright color feel balanced in the room.

Pale green walls in a girls bedroom is mixed with a range of greens seen in the art, on fabrics, the large letter 'A' and accessories. The color palette of green and yellow remains fresh and light due to an abundance of white included in the design.

Green is a perfect accent color, especially when paired with other saturated colors such as red. And as they are complimentary colors, they work well together while adding a vibrant energy.

Tip: Using green and red together works best when used in an otherwise neutral room, and keep the tones away from shades typically used in holiday decor.

And finally, even a small touch of green in a room of cool colors brings a touch of warmth that transforms the room.
