The majesty of ancient forests has long inspired interior design. Whether the grandeur of an oak tree or the enchanting shape of an acanthus leaf, rich, velvety dark and mid-tone greens offer homes a nurturing connection to nature. So, it was no surprise that Victoria Beckham used this calming color to drench her London flagship store, designed in collaboration with Rose Uniacke. Using a custom paint shade and velvet-upholstered furnishings, the luxe and livable space has a decadent yet intimate feel. The final result is a masterpiece. But why green?
Green is in general a relaxing color. Being the color that represents nature, green makes us feel good and positive. ‘The poet and philosopher Goethe used to describe green as a useful color, a good color to have around,’ explains Francesca Wezel, founder of Francesca’s Paints.
