THE GREEN ROOM – PART 2 VIBRANT GREEN IN INTERIOR DESIGN

Welcome to Part 2 of a 4-part series on all things green in interior design and décor. 

A Vibrant Green colour palette in interior design projects, whether for furniture, cabinetry, paint, art, or accents and more, is just the colour palette you need to lift your spirits. It’s like a zing of spring with a little summer green thrown in for good measure. It’s a ‘happy’ palette with satisfying outcomes.

Current design trends still covet green, in all shades, tints and tones, with the ethos that ‘Green is the New Black’, and I’m here to tell you that I’m all in for this exquisite colour, which has a whole range of colours to play with that will have you green with envy – but in a good way!  

VIBRANT GREEN INTERIOR DESIGN IDEAS

Green shades remain a popular choice in interior design.

Vibrant Green for Energy and Playfulness

Vibrant Greens can give off a lot of energy, evoke playfulness or quiet sophistication depending on what you pair it with.  It’s generally a ‘happy’ colour, and can feel like a fresh burst of spring. It’s hard not to like this colour and reminds me every time of Granny Smith apples….anyone else?

If you’re in the mood for ENERGY and/or, PLAYFULNESS, then make sure to also include bold colours, patterns, and high contrast in your mix.

Vibrant Green for Sophisticated Style

If your style leans more towards a SOPHISTICATED aesthetic, then classic colour combinations, minimal pattern or small patterns, soft texture, and low contrast are your friends.

Since there’s a lot to cover (pun intended), when it comes to shades of green, I am breaking this series into 4 parts to showcase the different green colour palettes and characteristics so you don’t get overwhelmed all in one sitting. 

This 2nd installment analyzes the VIBRANT GREEN colour palette. 

Looking through the palette you might just find an unexpected shade of green you never considered before, until you see it in action in these real-life installations and images.

Selecting the Right Shade of Vibrant Green for Your Home

How To Select the Right Shade of Vibrant Green for Your Home

The trick to getting the right shade of green is finding the right tint, tone or shade that sparks the joy! Light & Bright, Energetic & Vibrant, Dark & Moody or Calm?

Any shade in this palette can have light and bright, or dark and moody qualities, depending on the level of saturation. My advice is to select a shade that you love and then adjust the value of that colour to get it where you want it to be.  
This is easily achieved if you want to create a custom colour, otherwise, you will need to adjust your expectations based on your supplier’s paint colour offering.

How to use Vibrant Green Paint Colours in Your Home

Vibrant green colours should be in your colour palette arsenal.  Whether you can handle a whole room or are content with doing just a little, a few new accessories in this colour category will help freshen up any room. 

It is a clear colour (not muddy) that most people can live with.  It can run deep and ‘quiet’, bold and fun, or light and airy.  It all depends what you pair it with ie; colour, pattern, texture and how much or how little of each.  

There aren’t too many ways to go wrong with any of the vibrant green colours in this palette and all will look good in a variety of settings.  However, you must consider your window orientation and the light spectrum coming through the windows to get this colour just right.

Sometimes we overcomplicate things.  The best shade of green for anything on you or around you is the one that best complements your skin tone – really!
