Calming green
Green is of course, associated with nature - which means it is also associated with feelings of calmness, friendliness and freshness. Colour therapists say green is the colour of balance and harmony and in case you’ve ever wondered – that’s why TV guests wait in the 'green room' before being interviewed!
In terms of home style, many interior designers say ‘green is the new black’ and that’s because it pretty much goes with anything. What’s more, because our eyes can see more shades of green than anything else it means that almost everyone will have at least one shade of green they like.

To make sure you get your colour scheme just right – we advise using a colour wheel as it's easy to go wrong with so many shade choices.

This year sage green seems to be the most popular shade. You can get various tones of sage from the earthy darker shades which are warm and cosy to light and silvery which will set a much cooler tone. This is a colour that work well in most rooms of the house. In the kitchen it will give a farmhouse feel, in the bathroom it can look really contemporary. In a living room, it will be sure to calm while in the bedroom it is the ultimate relaxing shade.

The great thing about green is that is complements so many other colours. Light and dark shades of green work well together but it also looks wonderful with white and grey. It can also look great with brown and orange accents but the trick is to check each tone on the colour wheel to make sure you do get a complementing rather than a clashing colour.
