1. ENLIVEN YOUR ROOMS

Forest green hues represent life and nature, making a home look and feel more inviting. When deeper shades of green are used, they can give your living space a more sophisticated, even regal feel.

2. DEPTH OF FIELD

Play around with varying shades and textures to add dimension, such as teal and velvet. A velvety-soft rug lends cosiness and makes your space feel more homey. You can even paint or wallpaper one side of your living room or bedroom with relaxing dark green hues or patterns that remind you of nature’s beauty.

3. BRASS BAND

It’s all about the warm, burnished hue this season – team dark greens with a few small yet impactful brass accents that add luxe and elegance to your rooms.
