Freshen Your Space With Accents of Green For Spring

A former art teacher always told me to take breaks while painting a colorful piece to gaze at the color green. Even the most vibrant greens seem to have an immediate calming effect. It's certainly a refreshing shade, which surprisingly, does help to cleanse the visual palette.

I still apply the theory to other art forms; specifically, interior design. While drenching a room in green might not suit everyone, I'm inspired by the effect that concentrated doses of green can have on a space. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, which celebrates this shade every year, keep reading to see if green accents can work for your home!

This room has a tamed femininity that feels fresh. Clover-shaped headboards, brilliantly upholstered in mossy green, pick up the shape of the scalloped bed linens. Source
Sometimes, an unexpected pop of green can completely change the feel of a piece of furniture. Source
Instead of painting an entire room green, consider designating the color to a focal feature, like these built-in shelves that divide the two spaces. Source
A bright, minty-colored armoire flanked by a pair of floral chairs introduces a modern garden vibe to an otherwise starkly white room. Source
A vibrant green hutch instantly modernizes the traditional decor and breaks up the monotony of the wood tones. Source
When choosing outdoor furniture, consider pieces in a range of shades from the green color spectrum. Nothing complements the surrounding flowers and plants better. Source
If brighter color notes aren't your thing, moodier olive tones work incredibly well on furniture. Source
Creating a dining area dedicated to the color green works as long as the color is repeated in small doses in a surrounding neutral space. Source
Layering varying shades of green accessories can feel incredibly rich. Emerald, kelly, and chartreuse are flawlessly combined in this nook. Source
Transform bunk beds into a colorful sculptural piece with colors that mimic the outdoors. The result is a kid-friendly room that feels modern and fresh. Source
Even though this room is enrobed in a graphic print and filled with visually stimulating objects, a green desk instantly draws the eye. Source
