Green Accents & Accesories for the Home
Roundup

Green is next on our Roundup of colors and I feel in harmony just thinking about it. Green represents growth, renewal and life. It connects us with nature and makes us feel fresh and alive.

 
 

Green is a peaceful, restful color, which is why it works so well in bedrooms and living rooms. But because green is located in the middle of the spectrum, it's considered a balancing color. So try and incorporate several shades of green in your home. Too many brights can make a room feel electric, while too many darks can make a room feel drab.

And if you've got the blues, it must be because our Blue Roundup is next.

Oh that room is fabulous, I love the lime green and the bright blue and white paisly patterned rug and how it's carried into the pillows.

But I'd get tired of that much green after a while though.
