Go Green with Greencliff

Go Green with Inner Styling with Green pallettes

The new trend in indoor colour is Green

Mixed with natural stones & timbers & white, just add a pop of green here and there to create a wonderful refreshing feel to your home.

Green induces a state of tranquility and a withdrawal from external pressures - with our hectic fast paced lives, we think we could all do with adding some Green to our homes.

What does the colour green represent?

  • Calmness
  • Balance
  • Growth
  • Vitality
  • Reliability
  • Practical
  • Nurturing
  • Loyal
  • Adaptable
  • harmony
  • Freshness
  • Safety
  • Fertility
  • Environment
  • Finance
  • Ambition
  • Endurance

There are so many greens to use as well from Emerald Green, Lime Green, Aqua Green, Forest Green, Fluro Green there are so many shades its no wonder green is so easy to work with, tie it in with indoor plants to effortlessly create a revitalising zone. 

Because of our eyes being accustomed to the ubiquitous green found in naure, this hue is equally at home in every room in the house.

Thanks to the latest season of House Rules 2018 who did a great job of showcasing our favourite colour Green during the home renovations (credit images from House Rules) we can show you below how Green can be effortlessly added to your home.

The soft teal splash back tile is stellar, its clean and fresh adding the slightest hue to a white pallete if you so choose. This kitchen was worked on by the Candelo, NSW couple from House Rules Toad and Mandy.

Add fun to your bedroom - with the use of colour

Kim and Michelles army green room Chiara and Davids perfect little girls room
    

The above examples show how shades of Green can be used for Boys and Girls rooms alike and how smart does it look!

Whilst people would like to style their children rooms in what they are into at four its more realistic and better for your budget (unless you have an endless budget) to use things that can age with them, with the above boys room the room is great with the use of army colours for a child up to a teenager.

 The little girls room whilst they might outgrow the bright pink the decals can easily be removed and the artwork with the stunning Aqua green will look great against a white wall or a soft grey wall as the child ages.
