How green works in the living room
In the living room, green carries an accent wall behind the sofa or a bottle-green velvet sofa — kept elegant with off-white and wood around it.
Keep in mind what's specific to this room: the room's largest colour surfaces and a clear seating group. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.
Colours that pair well with green
Green loves warm wood, off-white, beige and brass. For more contrast, deep terracotta or navy work beautifully.
Materials and details
Natural materials lift green: oak and rattan, linen and wool, with brass or antique gold in the details.
The most common mistake
Choosing too yellow or neon a shade — muted, dusty greens age better and read as more expensive.
See green in the living room — before you paint
The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the living room and type "repaint the living room in green". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
