Do you decorate with green? I’ve always been drawn to the many shades of green — from soft sage to deep forest tones. Green lends a calm, natural energy to a room and can change the atmosphere subtly or dramatically depending on how you use it. After finishing projects around our house, I often find myself reaching for a touch of green to complete a space. Even a small accent can refresh a room, while a fully green scheme can be bold and beautiful. If you like a softer approach, there are plenty of ways to introduce green in understated, stylish ways.
Ten simple ways to add green accents to your home:
Art pieces and framed prints
Houseplants and greenery
Books with green spines or covers
Throws and blankets
Decorative pillows
Table or floor lamps with green shades or bases
Vases and ceramics
Painted doors, cupboards, or cabinet fronts
Upholstered chairs, sofas, or lampshades in green fabrics
Small decorative objects and accessories
I hope these images inspire you to try a few green touches in your own home. Green works in every season, but it feels especially fresh in spring!
Sunday Strolls + Scrolls is a series that highlights interiors and outdoor spaces found while browsing the web. I enjoy discovering rooms and ideas that feel like a sanctuary — places that invite a slow, peaceful look. Think of this series as a relaxed walk down a pretty street, a quiet stroll through a garden, or a peek into a charming home on an open-house Sunday. These features aim to be calming, inspiring, and easy to use as reference for your own decorating projects.
