What can you say about decorating with mossy green? It’s calm, sweet, warm, inviting and soothing for one. It is also a soft way to envelope a room with natural color. And you can use it in a living room, kitchen or bedroom. Let me show you how.
• Wall Paint
One of the easiest ways to bring in a soft, warm and inviting tone to any space is to paint the walls a mossy green color. Use a flat paint to create a soothing backdrop to any room decor and get a designer look for very little money.
• Bedding and Accessories
If you don’t want to commit to a wall color or live in an apartment where you can paint the walls, then it’s time to bring in brilliant bedding and accessories in mossy green colors. Comforters, sheets, throw pillows, and window treatments in mossy green provide a serene setting in the room to lull you to sleep.
Add accessories by creating your own easy and budget-friendly artwork with simple, hand-painted mossy green floral designs. Or purchase inexpensive picture frames and add pressed leaves or flowers under glass to hang on your walls. You can also use mossy green on accent pieces like lamp shades or decorative vases. If you can’t find the color you want, head to your local home improvement store and purchase a can of spray paint. You can change the color of your favorite vase or sculpture into a perfect mossy green accessory in an instant.
• Bathrooms
The colors of nature and bathrooms just seem to go together – maybe because there’s water in the room. Adding mossy green to white bathroom fixtures creates a calm climate of color around you while you dress or just soak in the tub. Paint the walls or install green tiles on the walls, floors or backsplashes for a beautiful touch. And don’t forget to bring in big, fluffy mossy green bath towels to finish up the space.
• Paired with Brown
What’s more natural than green and brown? It’s a winning color combination no matter where you use it. Combine mossy green walls or textiles with brown furniture or wood molding for a room you’ll always want to visit.
