green interiors


our wedding is going to have all sorts of shades of green in it so i’ve been drawing from green interiors for inspiration lately. this series of shots from this is glamorous (which are from earlier this summer) have been sitting in my inspiration folder for a while so i thought i’d share them for fun. it’s always nice to get a dose of springy green color when it’s cold and dark outside.

I love that sofa - I am looking everywhere for a buttoned sofa like that - they don’t seem to exist in the UK.

Hooray for green. (And orange, too.)

love the black chairs in this little nook. It makes everything else pop and I find it quite calming, actually. Loving green.

I love the green in the first photo! It’s pretty close to the green in my living room:

It’s sort of pea, in a good way. The wallpaper in the last photo is amazing!

Grace, I’m in the process of wedding planning myself and we’re doing all shades of green (and a bit of blue) too! Thanks for the green interiors.

I really like the second photo! The bottom one is cool, but a little TOO nature-y for me, haha. I’d be like, DANG, we need to prune the walls!

I have these chairs, but I can never figure out how to use them… turns out they fit in too much w. what I already have. I love the juxtaposition of mod v. trad in this setting!

i just love how all shades/versions/colours of green somehow look awesome together no matter what.

That sofa! I LOVE it! Details please! Desperate to get rid of the overstuffed atrocities we got secondhand.

Love looking at this green. It quite counteracts the relentless drizzle of November in East Anglia, where I haven’t seen anything so fresh and spring-like for what feels like months.

These are gorgeous! Green is my favorite color! Of course, I could never decorate solely with green because I love color to much!

Love the middle one. I’ve been debating my accent colors for my dining room and now I’m dreaming of green.

third pic is my dining room (er, nook) — a story I produced for STYLE AT HOME, Canadian decorating mag where I am Sr Design Editor. Thanks for including — love the other shots too — am still very obsessed with green. And one last tip — chairs look great but not comfy AT ALL. We suffered for a while for style but have since banished them to the basement…sigh.

this is a room in a gallery at the yorkshire sculpture park that’s just beautiful–it’s a bright green, with mullioned windows (and ivy over them) that are set in thick walls.
