30 Gorgeous Green Living Room Ideas You Can Recreate At Home
Green is a wildly popular option for people wanting to freshen up their living room. It is equal parts trendy and classic, pairing well with popular decoration styles while remaining timeless and adaptable. Greens can manifest in rooted and earthy tones, bright electric hues, or fresh and light shades, all with different psychological and physical effects. More than just a popular paint color, green furniture and decorations can also liven up a space in a variety of ways, whether as a simple accent wall or minimal decorations, or a grand scale overhaul.
While different shades of green can produce different effects on the mood and psyche, green generally promotes creativity, according to Psychology Today. This is beneficial for those with creative pursuits, as well as for daily problems that require creative solutions. Green is also commonly associated with revitalization and boosting energy, both physically and mentally, per Dunne Edwards.
Green can also help aid in creating a physical mood. For example, darker greens can make a space seem more intimate and subdued, lighter greens can create an airy and spacious appearance, etc. Keep reading for inspiration on how to incorporate green into your living room.
