Green is a color that is clearly inspired by nature and always gives a feeling of optimism. Whether it reminds us of spring, or is just a color that is always around even though you may not realize it. It has a calming effect on us, think of plants and trees. It never truly goes out of style, just the popularity of the different shades and hues evolve over time. Used thoughtfully in home design, it adds life and a freshness like no other color. Added to a neutral décor it springs everything to life! Used in a kitchen is creates a feeling of authority and confidence. Add a touch of black and white in to the scheme and you have an artful contrast that is interesting and classic. It is not without controversy though and many may associate it with memories of hunter green in the 80’s, girl scout or other types of uniforms, or decide it is just not for them. Green can be truly lovely when used properly and very complementary, especially to historic homes, dining room, sitting areas or anywhere to want to create a warm and inviting feel.
