Whether you are holidaying abroad or at home this year, there is nothing more calming and peaceful than the soft and mellow colour tones of the ocean. This week we are celebrating the bright and tranquil tones of SEA GREEN and how this elegant colour tone can create a fresh and tropical feel in any interior space.
Colour Palette
For a classic coastal style home, partner bright sea green with soft and subtle grey, crisp white and blue for a colourful yet refined interior look with a hint of nautical style. If you prefer a more bold and refreshing feel then marry varying ocean tones ranging from icy blue to sea green and turquoise for a tropical look that works fabulously in summery interior decors. Sea green, beige and sand tones work together to create a beach themed interior space that perfectly combines fresh and cosy colour combinations. Coral, peach, ivory and sea green are a striking colour partnership that will create a delicate and feminine feel in any room of the home.
Cushions
Sea green and white cushions will create a fresh and inviting focal point when displayed on a plain seating area or a selection of crisp white bedding. Tie dye style cushions with shaded tones of blue, sea green, mint and white will create a subtle pattern that is perfect for coastal inspired rooms. For a more sleek and modern finish then select a variety of plain cushions ranging from white to sea green, aquamarine and azure and display in a linear, ombre style formation along a sofa or seating area. For a splash of glamour, partner satin sea green cushions with rich black and silver designs for a luxurious and opulent finish.
Upholstery
If you wish to create a chic and elegant nautical finish in your chosen room then fresh white and sea green striped upholstery will create a sophisticated finish on a classic sofa or armchair to give a more refined take on the tradition ‘deck chair’ look. A more vintage vibe can be achieved by upholstering a stylish 1960s style chair with a rich sea green linen or cotton fabric that can be co-ordinated with your curtains and rugs for a colourful retro inspired design. Moroccan print fabrics look fabulous with hints of sea green, orange, coral and purple and will create a visual impact on a headboard, foot stool or occasional chair. This style of fabric can be accentuated with metallic embroidery and beading for added drama and luxury.
Accessories
Coloured glass is another of 2016s biggest trends as it allows you to add splashes of colour to your home interior whilst still maintaining a sense of space and light which is perfect for more compact rooms. Sea green glass is a popular colour choice and looks fabulous as vases, candle holders and ornamental bowls for a chic and illuminating focal point on a mantelpiece or display area. Crisp white accessories will compliment the bright tropical tones of a sea green interior and creates a spacious and open feel in your chosen room. For added coastal inspiration then opt for shell shaped ornaments, bowls and accessories that will take centre stage in your home interior.
Furniture
Natural oak furniture will create a cosy and coastal inspired finish in your sea green room and provides a classic finish that is timeless and elegant. For a rustic design, opt for chunky and weathered oak furniture or a combination of cream, grey painted and natural oak for a more refined interior finish. White painted furniture will compliment the fresh tropical hues of your decor and creates a more feminine feel that works extremely well in bedroom interiors. For a more Caribbean inspired look then opt for walnut or rattan furniture that will create a contrast of deep and fresh interior tones.
