Space of the week: Calming green




At the moment I'm torn between the very clean and calm style of this home, and something with more vibrant colours. This is a space that I often refer to as I've tried to create a similar calm environment in my own home, but I'm still deciding whether I should introduce some more colour. Here, the soft green acts as a wonderful backdrop to their stunning furniture and sculptures. I think it works so well because the high ceilings and diagonal wood flooring add drama.

  1. I think you're right about the high ceilings and wood floors adding something dramatic to the space. My room used to be painted that green color in high school. It was very calming. I think when we own our own house, I'll have part of it colorful and vibrant and part calm and serene.
