Rest and retreat with sage green – Mae Sofa, Boucle Fabric – coming soon
As the embodiment of nature, green stands out as the perfect choice for earth tones, especially when seeking to revitalize your surroundings. A gentle green such as sage or mint can infuse a contemporary vibe into your walls while maintaining a sense of stability in the room. Viewing sage and mint green as neutrals reveals their fresh, light undertones that open the door to enhancing the space with modern accents. Consider incorporating green or blue glass accessories to harmonize with the tranquil backdrop, and look to the elegance of Art Deco design by introducing brass and dark wood accents for a chic contrast.
