What do you think of when you see the color green? Are you refreshed, full of life, or do you straight-up despise it?
Here's the break down:
Green is the color of nature. Duh. It is said to bring life and a sense of freshness to a space, as seen in fresh flowers. Being on the cool side of the color wheel, it is a tranquil color. In other avenues of life, we attribute green with money, health, and jealousy. In the home, though, it often tends to have a calming effect. Did you know guests on TV shows wait in "green rooms" intentionally, so they can de-stress before their appearance?! It's true. How do you feel about green?

5. Green in fresh flowers:
I'm really loving the pop of unexpected color that Emily (Emily A. Clark) used in her office. It's fresh and funky, but still totally chic and stylish. While I wouldn't paint walls a bright kelly green, I do like the lighter greens. I also think a bookshelf backed in green wallpaper or fabric would be fabulous. My feature wall in my bedroom is a soft, pale green:
I'd have to agree, it's definitely calming.
What is your favorite way to incorporate green? Or would you choose to only have green outside your windows? Do tell!
