Green is one of the most universally loved colors. The color of the natural world, green evokes a calming feel when used in interior schemes and comes in so many variations, from muted sage green to dark and moody.

When it comes to decorating with green, it's important to pair this hue with the right colors, to ensure its calming feel is retained. When saturated shades of greens are paired with certain colors, it can create a visually overwhelming look that distracts from its appeal.
