FOREST GREEN

Forest Green has become an iconic wintery color next to Mustard yellow and Burgundy.

This deep shade, both relaxing and reassuring, has a double power that explains its popularity.

Both mysterious and warm, sophisticated yet sober, Forest Green can find its way in all rooms.

Here are our advices to use this color in your house.

ON WARM FABRICS

Velvet or Wool: Select warm textiles that will sublimate Forest green.

It will bring a warm feeling and it will make the color more powerful if you use it on a large piece of furniture like a sofa.

CAREFUL WITH THE BRIGHTNESS

If you choose Forest Green as a paint color, we advise you to evaluate beforehand the impact it will have on the brightness of the room.

Indeed, in the bedroom, we can use it easily on all walls to create a cosy hushed mood.

But, on the other hand, we'll be more careful in the living room where it's less risky to paint just one wall or the ceiling.

Moreover, we'll pay attention to the temperature of the light bulbs as a warm orange one will tend to blacken forest green.

PAIRED WITH WOOD

Even if Forest Green is more sophisticated than lighter shades of green, it's still a peaceful color reminding us of nature.

If you want to take benefit from this soothing characteristic, we advise you to pair it with wood.

A green wall associated with a warm wood floor or a marble green kitchen counter associated with walnut cabinets will match perfectly.

And it's a duo you can use in all rooms.

TO CREATE A FOCAL POINT

As a dark shade, we'll tend to mix Forest green with neutral or light colors to balance the whole decor.

Therefore, Forest Green can highlight a detail such as a credence or a door. Or to catch the eye, for instance, when using this color on a piece of furniture.

This option is perfect for rooms where you don't want to loose too much brightness like in the living room or the bathroom.

It's also a way to use the color which is ideal to separate different functions in a same room like a living room including the kitchen. (see picture).
