Letterbox Colour Palettes GREEN

Every month we take a look at a different colour and how it can be brought into your home. We know adding new colour, or any colour into your home can feel daunting. There is no one size fits all when it comes to adding and using colour in your own home. But, every home does need some colour. It can boost your mood, ease anxiety and make it feel like your own.

In July, we are looking at Green! Glorious Green. If you haven’t considered Green in your home, there really is no reason why. Green is a beautiful colour to adopt into your home palette and with the right shade, can easily be paired with some stunning colours. Here’s a full guide on how you can inject Green into your home.

WHERE CAN I USE GREEN?

Green looks beautiful in any space in a home ( much like most colours ), but there are of course some places Green looks best in. Kitchens and bathrooms are a super popular location for Green as they often contrast well against fixtures including kitchen units, worktops, bathroom suites and tiling.

In your living spaces including your lounge and bedroom, do be considerate to your furnishings and how you use the space.

Dark, moody spaces are great for those places that you like to snuggle and relax, like your bedroom, whilst the lighter shades are best for those lively locations including your dining spaces and spare bedroom.

Different shades of Green offer different vibes. Dark and dramatic Green is rich and moody and can often be found in period properties, or those looking to really contrast in the space. Soft and calm green can be in any space wanting a light and bright effect.

Depending on the vibe you want to emit, depends on the shade you will want to incorporate. Our 3 favourite different shades are : For a Deep, rich Green, we love Dulux Enchanted Eden For a Bold, Moody Green, we love Dulux Highland Green. For a soft, sultry Green tone, we love Dulux Fresh Sage.

WHAT MATERIALS WORK WELL WITH GREEN?

Green is a natural colour, so natural materials do work best with any Green shade.

Beautiful materials like oak, cane, and birch-wood all look stunning when contrasted against Green in general, including those soft, sultry tones. Butcherblock kitchen worktops, white painted units and bright white tiling looks absolutely stunning in your cooking space.

Alternatively, dark or light modern furnishings do look stunning against those deep, dark tones of Green. If you are a fine line furniture type, consider deep, rich Green colours against your modern white or black furnishings.

WHY SHOULD YOU ADOPT GREEN INTO YOUR HOME?

Green is a fantastic addition to any home and its colour palette. Green works so well with every type of furniture and style, and colour too. Green withstands every new trend and style and is truly the most perfect red thread colour for your home. Pair Green with soft muted tones for a understated home, or moody and deep colours for a dramatic space.

If Green isn't in your home yet, you are doing something wrong.
