Lime green coordinated with orange provides a bright, zesty and zingy look.
Sage green and deep aubergine shows high contrasts and liveliness.

Uses in interior design
Choose bright and vibrant green to inject fabulous colour into a room. Coordinated with white for a natural light fresh and airy feeling or use an accent piece in a different shade to add cohesion to a room.

One of the latest design styles is to use beautiful bright green in combination with pink in the same hue. This provides a fun and lively look which is perfect for using in any room in your home.

Lavender and sage coloured green provide a relaxing tranquillity in a room which is ideal to use in places of relaxation such as a bedroom or bathroom. Team with white for a dreamy and calming look.

Pastel green and pink colour combinations are great for producing a country cottage feel. Use floral fabrics for cushions or curtains and add touches of duck egg blue or silvery greys for a soft look. Add different fabrics types such as genuine or faux silk and crisp cotton to provide added texture in soft, muted pastel colours.

Regency green and cream striped fabrics provide an elegant look which is perfect for using in dining rooms. Beautiful polished Regency tables and chairs with this fabulous stripe ooze style and elegance. Use Regency green for window dressings to bring the room together effectively.

British Racing Green is another deep green which can provide an elegant and chic look. Coordinated with deep red for a dramatic and gorgeous look. These deep colours work best in large rooms which have an abundance of natural light.

If green is not really a colour you adore, inject the colour by selecting beautiful accent pieces such as cushions in the lounge or a table lamp with a green glass base or shade in a dining room.

Don't be afraid of green! The shades and hues are truly amazing. Take a walk in your garden or local park to see how nature uses green colour combinations for 'free' inspiration!

What decor goes good with sage green furniture?

We've just moved into a new apartment and we have new furniture.We've run into a little bump in the road trieing to find anything to match it.

well if you can go get a swatch..a color guide and then play with that with the sage green. if it is pastels then stick w/ that. Just don't mix sage green w/ neon green..if you know what i mean. anyways play off of it w/ some lighter greens and a bit darker green and blues and yellows should mix well. maybe a lighter green than sage on your chair w/ a dark green textured pillow like velvet or cordoroy. on the couch play up the pillows w/ different colors of green. also purple goes great w/ green. if you have an area rug that goes well with the furniture then pick out all the colors of your rug and play that into the mix. well hope that helps. God bless
