Colours to use with green

Uses in interior design
Choose bright and vibrant green to inject fabulous colour into a room. Coordinated with white for a natural light fresh and airy feeling or use an accent piece in a different shade to add cohesion to a room.
One of the latest design styles is to use beautiful bright green in combination with pink in the same hue. This provides a fun and lively look which is perfect for using in any room in your home.
Lavender and sage coloured green provide a relaxing tranquillity in a room which is ideal to use in places of relaxation such as a bedroom or bathroom. Team with white for a dreamy and calming look.
Pastel green and pink colour combinations are great for producing a country cottage feel. Use floral fabrics for cushions or curtains and add touches of duck egg blue or silvery greys for a soft look.
Regency green and cream striped fabrics provide an elegant look which is perfect for using in dining rooms. Beautiful polished Regency tables and chairs with this fabulous stripe ooze style and elegance. Use Regency green for window dressings to bring the room together effectively.
British Racing Green is another deep green which can provide an elegant and chic look. Coordinated with deep red for a dramatic and gorgeous look. These deep colours work best in large rooms which have an abundance of natural light.
If green is not really a colour you adore, inject the colour by selecting beautiful accent pieces such as cushions in the lounge or a table lamp with a green glass base or shade in a dining room.
