Gorgeous green...

A certain very close acquaintance of mine loves the colour green...and over the coming weeks/months this person is contemplating moving to a new home.

Personally, I've always considered green to be a difficult colour with which to decorate. But to prove myself wrong and to give E some ideas for envisioning a new space, I've spent some time this afternoon hunting for green inspiration.

I found that I tended to be drawn to fairly neutral spaces where green is used as an accent either with furniture or tile etc...

(E - I thought you'd be interested in the final two images... The sofas are a darker shade of teal than yours, but I thought the open space, white kitchen, floor colour and mixing in of the occasional piece of dark furniture would be of interest...)

I was somewhat inspired to see how much more versatile green was as a colour base than I had anticipated. I think the biggest issue is the large variance in shades of green available and ensuring a cohesive palette.

Anyone else love green?
