Colour Trend - Greenery

Pantone has announced its ‘Colour of the Year 2017’ and it is...GREENERY! This gorgeous spring/summer colour is versatile and elegant and is sure to complement both modern and traditional home interiors. The rich green undertones will add some botanical charm to any room and is perfect for creating a fresh and illuminating feel in smaller or darker rooms of the home.

Colour Palettes

For a simple and fresh look then team greenery with crisp white, off white or soft grey to create a light yet refined design that will complement any room in your home. For a more bold and masculine take on this colour scheme then why not partner greenery with deep charcoal, black or forest green for a sophisticated look that is sure to create a statement in your chosen space. If you prefer a more colourful and feminine feel then create a palette of pastel pink, peach, lilac and greenery or pair greenery with bright lemon for a fresh and tropical design.

Cushions

This elegant green tone is the perfect choice for cushions as it will create a pop of colour against light and dark upholstered seating areas or a crisp white or floral bed set. Classic rococo and baroque patterns will look great in greenery and monochrome colour palettes and will add a stately feel to your chosen space. For a quintessential English garden look then select some bright and fresh floral print cushions in greenery and pastel tones that will add some femininity to your chosen room. Plain green cushions will look great against a sleek white sofa for a minimal and modern look that is fresh and uplifting.

Upholstery

Green upholstery may not be everyone’s first choice however this soft green hue will create visual detail within the room without overpowering the entire look and feel of the space. For a fresh country style dining room, take plain green or greenery and white striped fabric and upholstery some classic oak dining chairs to give a hint of colour to a country cottage home. If you prefer a more modern look then why not upholster a sleek and minimal sofa, chair or footstool with some greenery coloured cotton or linen fabric for a simple finish that works well with natural oak furniture, high gloss or chrome framed items.

Accessories

To accentuate the crisp and fresh feel of this colour scheme then partner a greenery coloured interior with some simple white accessories that will create a sense of space and serenity within your chosen room. For a more bold and modern look then you can opt for some black or mirrored accessories such and vases and candle holders that will provide the visual style and glamour within your home. Natural wood accessories such as mirrors, photo frames and ornaments will complement the botanical tones of the interior backdrop and look fabulous displayed along an oak mantelpiece or sideboard area.

Furniture

Natural oak furniture will look great against greenery painted walls and will create a cosy and homely feel that is elegant and timeless.

For a more bright and illuminating feel then opt for crisp white painted furniture or high gloss finishes that will complement the freshness of the colour scheme. Light grey painted furniture will create a hint of Scandinavian relaxation that is accentuated by the pops of greenery from the soft furnishings and accessories.
