Colours
You can see that the walls have been coloured in one block green colour, however to add depth to the room, the doors and the frames have been painted in a different shade. Â Now if you feel that this might be a little dark for your room try and go for lighter colours on your doors and skirting boards. Â Maybe beige which is still emphasises nature but offer a more lighter and airy feel.
A complementary and colour which allows the green in this room to stand out is the grey.  You can see that the grey has been used on the floor to offers a cool and calmness to the interior and is definitely a different alternative to the brown wooden flooring we often  see to compliment green living rooms.
Accessories and Furniture
The key to get this look is also think colour and shades for your furniture and your accessories. Â I like how this room has used greys as well as greens for its furniture rather than opting for just one colour for its furniture. Â To add a touch of a botanics and be at one with mother nature think of green plants and green acessories such as vases and pillows.
