Bring Spring’s Greens Inside Your Home with These Tips

When looking at a color wheel or examining books of paint swatches, you may find that there is a much larger variety of green shades than there is with any other color. There is a scientific reason behind this: as omnivores, humans are most sensitive to different shades of green as an evolutionary tool to help us find edible foliage and also to identify prey consuming specific plants. Though we may not need advanced sight to search for food sources nowadays, we still carry on the benefits.

Many people across the world cite green among their favorite colors–and it’s no wonder, as there are so many different greens to choose from! However, bringing it to your home’s interior is a different story. Here are a few interior painting tips from the experts at New Ceilings to help you get your home looking like fresh-cut grass:

• Greens tend to like themselves. For many colors, using too many different shades in one space can really cause a big clash. Not so with green. No other color gives you the flexibility to play with so many different shades in the same palette. This allows you the unique opportunity to bring together warm and cool colors in the same room. Not sure about the shade you’ve chosen for your walls? Bring in some other greens and it’ll really start to come together.

• Ditch the dusty shades. A gorgeous, dusty antique shade of green can bring a serene, put-together look to any room. But you don’t have to stick with the English library look to give your room the sophistication you want. Try a bright jade or a vibrant grassy yellow-green for a change, and use neutral tones as accents to make it smooth.

• Your color won’t look the same on the walls. It’s an easy mistake for many homeowners to think that the color they see in Pinterest photos will look exactly the same as it does on their walls. However, green has a lot of room to play with the light, so there’s a good chance your walls won’t look exactly like the paint chip. It’s extremely important to do a test for any green shades.

Spring is the perfect time to go green inside your home. Green walls have been known to land families with a sense of tranquility and happiness.
