Color of the Month: Decorating with Leaf Green

Autumn is typically when leaves get their spotlight, and for a good reason – the explosion of vibrant color is dazzling. But springtime leaves are highly underrated, too! So this month, we’re giving leaf green some much-needed attention.

It’s a shade of green that’s fresh and refreshing, natural, and oh-so-springy.

Leaves come in so many different shades of green – from bright lime to deep forest and everything in between – that it’s hard to define a true leaf green. Here’s a sampling of leaf green rooms throughout the home to illustrate the full spectrum of leafy greenness.

Green is a popular choice in bedrooms, encouraging harmony with nature. Because leaf green is generally a brighter shade, don’t overdose on it or it may interfere with your sleep and winding-down time.
