CREATE A PEACEFUL FEELING

Muted green window shades and home accents create a peaceful feeling in this living room.
Green is a natural choice for home decorating. Found in the world’s forests, meadows and gardens, it brings a feeling of the outdoors to the inside of your home.

For home decorating, you have so many choices in the green family, from rich and lush, and calm and serene, to bold and brilliant. Because green comes in so many shades, it’s a very flexible design color.

Just think of all the beautiful natural names for green hues: sage, lime, spring, forest, emerald, mint, fern, grass, avocado, jade, apple, celery and pistachio.

BRING THE OUTDOORS INSIDE

Naturally, you have lots of possibilities to add green to your décor, whether in small touches or major design elements:
– Painted walls and paint stenciling

– Wallpaper

– Upholstery and drapery fabric

– Window coverings

– Bedding

– Painted wood furniture and kitchen cabinets

– Rugs and carpeting

– Lamps and light fixtures

– Accessories such as throw pillows, vases, and artwork

– Tile countertops and backsplashes


FINISH WITH NEUTRAL COLORS

It’s usually best to stick with one or two shades of green, and use neutrals and other accents to finish your design plan.

 

Colors that work well with green tones include:

– White, gray and neutral beiges and creams

– Browns, camels and taupes

– Pinks, reds and salmon

– Small touches of blue, black, yellow or gold

Window treatments help with a home’s energy efficiency by providing insulation, controlling solar heat gain, and by using natural light to reduce the use of electric light (called daylighting), which saves energy. Here’s a look at each—and how they help create your comfort zone. Providing insulation—winter/cool climates In winter, or if you live in a cool climate, window treatments help insulate at the window, preventing heat from escaping and keeping a room warmer.
