by How to Decorate with Green
Green is the colour of nature. Representing growth, harmony, and health, it is the most restful colour for the human eye.
In honour of St. Patrick’s Day, we are going to share 3 Easy Ways to Decorate with Green.
1. Accent Sofa
An accent sofa is the simplest way to incorporate green into your living room. We love using our green velvet sofa in stagings to give a rom that instant ‘oomph’.
When selecting your shade of green, make sure the undertones don’t clash with your existing furniture, paint colours, and flooring. Typically, lighter greens give off a more fresh and youthful vibe, whereas darker greens represent ambition, safety, and lushness.
2. Indoor Plants
Studies have shown that indoor plants boost mood, productivity, and creativity. Plants clean indoor air by absorbing toxins, increasing humidity, and producing oxygen, helping us feel good both mentally and physically.
Don’t have a green thumb? Start with an easy plant like a succulent or cactus. Just make sure they get plenty of sunlight, rotate them frequently, and water sparingly. Overwatering is the easiest way to kill your succulent, so make sure you let the soil dry between waterings!
3. Artwork
This one’s pretty self explanatory. Since everyone’s style is different, and artwork is so personal, it’s hard for us to recommend specific pieces.
However, if you live in Greater Vancouver and want to pick up some quality artwork at reasonable prices, we recommend checking out the Flow Furniture Lounge. Open on Thursdays and Fridays from 12pm-5pm, and we are constantly bringing in new furniture, accessories, and artwork. We hope to see you soon!
