Traditionally speaking, green represents balance and harmony, growth and renewal. Because it's a dominant color found in nature, it's one of the easiest colors for the human eye to look upon and pairs well with nearly every color on the color wheel. It's a positive color and many find green to be energizing. Just like in nature, the color green can be represented in a wide variety of hues. From rich moss green to chartreuse, pea green to sea foam, there is no shortage of ways to use this beautiful color within the home. Be careful, these rooms may leave you green with envy!

The greens of the outdoors are brought inside this home. The rich mushroom browns and bronze tiled fireplace are complimented with fresh greens in multiple tones. A near-yellow green upholsters the dining room chairs while a deeper moss green (in a perfect fuzzy velvet) makes for an ideal armchair in the living room.

A bright and sunny green sectional sofa makes for a cozy reading nook in this home. Paired with yellow window shades and neutral grays, the sofa color doesn't overpower the room; instead it adds a necessary pop of color. Pillows further help blend the colors together naturally.

Faux bamboo chairs have been lacquered in a shiny, green hue for this breakfast room. By pairing it with a more reserved robin's egg blue, the green adds a fun touch of personality in the space. Notice how the green is amplified in the nearby botanical prints and the small green pinecones.
