Color Challenge: Green

Everyone has a lot of mixed feelings about adding color to their spaces. Some embrace it & cannot have enough, while others are a little more finicky, finding it more difficult to commit. I tend to lean towards the latter, myself. I love neutrals, how they can be added to so easily, & how I don't have to worry about clashing or mismatching. HOWEVER, to overcome this fear myself, & to help inspire some of my readers, I have decided to do a weekly color challenge where I pick a color and focus my design aesthetic around it within a room. This could be painting an accent wall or adding accessories or pieces of furniture to bring attention to a color.

This week, for starters, we're going to go green.

"Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety."

It's one of my favorite colors to work with because it almost feels like a neutral. I, also, love incorporating a lot of plants in spaces, and what better way to use green?

Green Living Room:

01. Flower Still Art: Ashley Woodson Bailey has the most amazing floral prints and wallpapers on her site. Please do yourself a favor and go check them out!

02. Botanical Art: Adding danty wall art to a space is one of my favorite ways to make a space feel homey and put-together.

03. Ranunculus Art: Ranunculus are beautiful and deserve a spot on your wall.

04. Wall Paint Color: This is my not-so-subtle ode to green. I give you "Forest Green" by Benjamin Moore, ladies & gentleman.

05. Leather Arm Chair: These mid-century arm chairs that keep popping up everyone are my favorite. I obsessed with the little cylinder pillows.

06. Velvet Tufted Couch: I'm always a sucker for velvet anything. It feels so luxurious, this beautiful tufted sofa is no exception.

07. Coffee Table: The shape, the golden inlay, there's nothing not to love about this coffee table.

08. Area Rug: This area rug looks so soft and vintage and pulls this space together in all the right ways.

09. Light Fixture: This light fixture is perfectly modern with some retro flair, which if exactly how I wanted this space to feel.

10. Fringe Throw Pillow: Anthropology throw pillows get me everytime, I can't help it.

11. Furry Throw Pillow: I know, I know, these are everywhere. But you have to admit, they're pretty cozy.

12. Fiddle Leaf Fig: Everyone's favorite plant of the year. I see you.

13. Monstera Plant: This guy makes for the happiest plant pet.
