Now that spring is upon us, the official season of rebirth and renewal, we here at Colour Studio are encouraging you to think about bringing lush greens inside to chase away winter blues. As we scurry about with spring cleaning, going through the back of the closet and the mystery boxes in the garage, we can also be thinking about a fresh coat of paint or changing a few accents. And where better to start than a bit of spring green.
In the Fung Shui tradition, green is the color of renewal. It gives our
spaces lively energy and helps to nourish health. Green is strongly
recommended for the bathroom as it provides a purification and new
beginnings. But if a major paint job in not what you are looking for there are great
temporary seasonal changes in color that can make your space feel new all over again.
Plants are always a great thought for green in spring. We can scrub and sort all we want this spring cleaning but these lovelies enliven our space and clean our air! According to Laura Pottorff of Colorado State University plants such as English ivy and others remove common indoor pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene. Its amazing how dirty our indoor air can be, and how a few very easy changes really help clean it up. You can read more about her research here.
But plants are just the beginning. What about seasonal accents and artwork. Maybe switching out a rug and a painting is all you need to reawaken you home or office. Even if you don't want to shell out for a new rug you can make your own. There is a great tutorial for the rug below over at Craft.
Even the smallest decor, like a vase, candle holder or pillow is a great candidate for seasonal ration. With fresh spring greens subtlety can work better than over the top.
Take the green wash in this mostly white teen bedroom or a French take on green living in the Kitchen.
There are a world of ways to expand the green highlights in your home. Make a big change or a little one, everyone deserves a new beginning this spring.
