As we move into the spring season it’s time to inject some colour and vibrancy into our home interior and what better way to do so than with a bold and uplifting LIME green colour scheme. This zesty colour palette will look wonderful in a wide variety of interior spaces from eye-catching retro and tropical styles to striking eastern inspired or contemporary homes. Combine this bold colour with lighter and more neutral tones for a crisp finish or similar bold hues for a fun and funky design.
Tropical
Summer may seem like a little far away but there is no reason why you can’t bring a little sunshine into your home during the colder months of the year. Team lime green with crisp white, fern green, melon and banana yellow colour tones and display some striking palm print or banana leaf wallpaper on a main feature wall. Co-ordinate this strong colour choice with some natural linen curtains and upholstery and add some tropical cushions featuring palm print, parrots or pineapples for a fun retro inspired design. This trend will look great with some oak, walnut and rattan furniture for a cosy, nature inspired design or alternatively opt for some white painted furniture to add to the illuminating interior finish.
Modern Retro
If you are a lover of vintage interior design then why not use a lime green colour palette to create a fun retro feel in your chosen room. Pair lime green with a variety of bold and primary colours such as red, blue, yellow or more classic vintage tones such as orange and mustard. For a more cool and crisp finish then add lime green against simple white for a minimal contemporary finish. Team this colour palette with bold geometric retro wallpaper featuring striking shapes that will create a visual focal point in your chosen room. Co-ordinate with retro curtains and cushions in matching lime green and bright coloured patterns and include a shag pile rug for added texture. Vintage or industrial furniture will complete this look and create a stylish interior that is bang on trend in 2018.
Moroccan
If you love the combination of bright and bold colours and luxurious finishes then a Moroccan inspired interior design is perfect for you. Lime green can be placed alongside a variety of zesty and jewelled tones such as lemon, emerald, fuchsia and turquoise. Opt for an Arabian style patterned wallpaper featuring accents of gold and silver for a pop of elegant luxury. Upholster a sofa, chair or head board in some lime green and blue velvet or satin and add a selection of eastern patterned cushions featuring metallic embroidery, beads and tassels for a splash of luxury glamour. Add some Moroccan furniture such as mosaic or filigree tables and carved wardrobes that will create a focal point within your chosen room.
