Revive the senses with green

Have you ever felt instantly revitalized after running barefoot on the wet grass, or felt at peace in the presence of towering trees? Research has shown that connecting to the living world around us, whether it’s a forest hike or a brief stroll, creates an instant sense of wellbeing.

If you want to bring the outdoors into your living room, try combining shades of green with earthy colours like mustard yellows, rich neutrals and robust greys. Bold, vibrant shades of green like emerald, apple and teal will energize and awaken the senses, while soft greens like olive, sage and celery will be quiet and calm.
