May: Greenery
My green is a color pervasive in the natural environment that says renewing, regeneration, and refreshing. It represents balance, growth, and harmony.
Key Words: Mindful, Natural, Transitional
As we spend more time logged into our devices, a plant is a beautiful little reminder to take a moment for nature.
Styling suggestions for planting greenery in your home
There are a lot of great ways to decorate with green, but I think it looks best when paired with saturated colors.
Take jade green, for example. Whether it’s marbleized or painted as a solid color, it looks great with charcoal gray and black accents.
