Create a Calming Space With These 7 Green Decor Items
This nature-inspired colour is proven to alleviate stress and anxiety.
There’s no denying the colour green can help promote a sense of rest, refreshment, peace and security. Why else do you think people are invited to wait in a “green room” before performances or many doctors paint their offices green to put their patients at ease?
Colour theorists identify green with renewal, nature and harmony, simply because it has strong associations with lush nature. So, what better way to implement these feelings into your life than by decorating your home with green elements? This doesn't mean every nook and cranny in your humble abode needs to be in this stress-free hue — it's all about subtly incorporating it into your interiors via carefully selected elements.
So, to help you out, we've rounded up the best green homewares you should invest in which are not only incredibly versatile and blend seamlessly well with a range of colours, but also have the power to inject a dose of tranquility into any room. Sayonara, stress and anxiety.
4. A luxurious quilt
Nothing injects a dose of serenity into a room quicker than a beautiful quilt in a rich, soothing colour. Whether it's covering your duvet, folded across the end of the bed or draped on the sofa like a throw, it will add a new dimension to any room. The comforting, timeless aspect of a quilt combined with a nature-inspired colour will amp up the cosiness. Refreshing light greens will open up a space, and deep, verdant hues provide a gentle warmth. Or, have the best of both worlds with the Sage & Olive or Sage & Pistachio Two-Tone Quilts.
5. Couch pillows
Pillows aren't only made for the bed. Style your living room couch with a selection of European pillows dressed in a range of soothing green hues like Olive, Pistachio, Forest, Sage and Mint. It's an easy way to give your entire space an update, without having to renovate or spend hundreds of dollars. As a general rule, stick to an odd number of pillows to create the most natural and inviting arrangement — try three for smaller sofas and five for larger ones.
