As decorating addicts prepare to ease their spaces into Spring 2016, neutral hues are carefully being blended with a variety of luxurious, seasonal shades at home. With bold verdant shades set to bring luscious leafy hues into the great indoors, it’s clear that green is officially here to stay -although St. Patrick’s Day is already a distant memory! In addition to the pastel tones of mint green, darker variations of the colour are set to make a splash. Here are a few simple yet sophisticated ways to decorate with green this season.

Create a playful breakfast nook with shades of pea green and white: To bring the beauty of nature into your breakfast nook or dining room, turn to refreshing hues of pale green and ivory. Decorate your space with pea green paint, white-painted furniture and striped accent cushions. Meanwhile, decorative plates on the walls can breathe new life into the paint colour and transform your little green corner into a calming oasis.

Accessorize hardwood flooring and white walls with a bright green sofa: If you have a spacious and sparsely decorated living room, try creating a perfect accessorizing finish with a sleek sofa in a kelly green tone. Try enhancing the brilliant shade of the couch with monochromatic pillows, gleaming hardwood floors, elegant white walls and plenty of potted plants.

Repaint your wooden chairs with cheery green colours: For a kitchen or dining room with stark white walls and neutral floors, a pop of green can certainly go a long way. In order to truly embrace the look, refresh an array of straight-backed wooden chairs with gorgeous green colours. Turn to varying shades of mint green, forest green and dark green, for a chic yet understated colour statement which will truly wow your guests.
