Pastel tones are all the range this Spring season and with the trees finally turning green what better way to celebrate than with a crisp and fresh injection of stylish mint tones.
This bright yet muted colour looks wonderful in both classic and contemporary interiors and will create a bright and refreshing ambiance that is calming and relaxing.

Mint green is a stylish and adaptable colour that works well with a vast range of interior colour palettes. This versatile colour works wonderfully with other pastel tones such as powder pink, baby blue and lemon and looks particularly eye-catching against monochrome and grey interior tones. You can create a fresh feature wall an all over colour scheme or create a burst of pattern with a geometric or floral patterned wallpaper. This sumptuous colour also looks great within shabby chic interiors to create a classic kitsch style ambiance within your home.
This classically timeless colour looks wonderful as an accent tone in your interior and works particularly well on traditional, ornate furniture as well as retro 1950s style designs. Mint green furniture works particularly well in neutral or muted interiors and looks great alongside complimentary pastel walls, sofas or rugs. Why not try your hand at some furniture up-cycling and transform some old or reclaimed furniture items such as bedsides, sideboards or tables and give them a new lease of life with a coat or two of sumptuous mint green paint.
Mint green accessories are a great way of introducing this sumptuous colour into your home without having to overhaul your entire interior design. A perfectly placed lamp, vase or light shade can add a subtle 'pop' of colour to your current interior palette and create a fresh and crisp addition to your home.
A pale mint green cushion can add a textural and visual appeal to any sofa, chair or bed and will brighten up even the most neutral of spaces. Plain cushions look great against a patterned sofa or bedding set whilst patterned or floral cushions will add a splash of pattern to a neutrally upholstered backdrop.
Upholstery and fabrics play a huge role in creating a warm and cosy interior setting, yet it is one area of our homes that we often neglect. A sumptuous mint green upholstered occasional chair will create a fresh and relaxed 'zoned' area of colour that works particularly well in a living room, bedroom or office area. Plain or patterned mint green curtains make a great alternative to a painted feature wall as they provide a block of visual colour that will compliment the natural light from your windows or patio doors.
