green in kids rooms

green in kids rooms 1I’m a little obsessed with green for kids’ rooms at the moment – all projects I’m currently working on feature green as either the main or an accent colour. It’s gender neutral, calming and versatile, combining beautifully with other colours – such as teal blue, lavender, pinks and blushes or ochre yellow to name a few. Green doesn’t have to be overly there: I love how in the above image, it features subtly in the wallpaper and is repeated in various shades with a painted chair and table. Stunning.
