How To Use Greenery Furniture To Make Spaces Look Trendy

In 2017, the Pantone color of the year is called greenery, a symbolic name for a color that’s very fresh and energetic. It’s a color meant to inspire us and to bring us closer to nature. It brings spaces to life and it has a powerful impact on the whole room, even if it’s used sparingly. There are many different ways in which to introduce a color into a space: you could paint a wall, use an area rug, an indoor green wall or potted plants but you could also use greenery furniture to transform a room into an oasis of beauty and freshness.

This greenery sofa was introduced here by Krakvik & D’Orazio as a focal point. It stands out against the gray wall and the pastel-colored area rug and it’s beautifully coordinated with the indoor plants and other green accents strategically spread throughout the room. What’s also great is the fact that there’s actually a palette of green tones and they’re not all perfectly matched with each other.

The sofa is not the only furniture piece that can help you turn greenery into a focal point for your home. A green living room is a pretty broad concept, especially when you have an open floor plan. The products you can choose from include pretty much everything you’d put in a social area. Greenery chairs, ottomans, benches and even pendant lamps or rugs are all valid options.

A great way to emphasize a color is by placing it displaying it along a contrasting tone. Two colors are sometimes better than one as they can complement each other in great way. The green and brown tones featured by the BB-1430 armchairs evoke a very comfortable environment.

Sometimes color is there just to enhance an already interesting design. The Chaplin chairs, for example, are very playful, fun and versatile. Their seats and backrests can be adjusted in order to make each user comfortable and they stand out no matter where you put them. This is just one of the many examples of modern furniture that uses form and color to its advantage.

Used alone, this shade of green would definitely be eye-catching but a lot less interesting than when mixed with the red accents. There’s a trio of colors here and together they’re a perfect match. The white and the green are used in similar amounts while the small touches of pink are the perfect addition, creating the contrast that the room needed to feel complete.
