One of our star pieces that hit the floor this past spring is a stunning fern green sofa, exuding a sense of nature’s embrace while subtly glam with its low profile, channel back and vintage velvet fabric. Against the backdrop of a fresh blue and white chinoiserie art piece, this sofa becomes the focal point, commanding attention. To complete the ensemble, we’ve added accompanying blue chairs that harmonize effortlessly with the art and sofa, creating a symphony of color. This combination is a celebration of balance and creativity, where the cool tranquility of blue and the lush vibrancy of green dance in perfect harmony.

The trend is exploding as more and more individuals embrace the beauty and serenity this duo brings to their homes. Don’t miss the opportunity to infuse your space with this captivating trend, where blue and green merge to create a haven of style and peacefulness.

In the heart of the Mullberry Drive room, a stunning emerald green velvet sectional takes center stage, beckoning you to sink into its sumptuous comfort. Not only does this luxurious piece boast a rich texture, but it is also crafted with a performance fabric, making it both stylish and practical. The sleek and attractive design of the sectional exudes personality, as if it belongs in a moody lounge within a vibrant nightlife scene.

Despite its role as a workhorse piece of furniture, don’t be afraid to dress it up. The use of color in such a prominent and eye-catching piece can truly make a standout statement. Allow the emerald green to command attention and infuse the room with its opulence. Pair it with accessories and accents that accentuate its richness, such as metallics or deep jewel tones. Embrace the boldness of this majestic sectional, as it transforms your space into a haven of style and sophistication, fit for both everyday lounging and glamorous entertaining. Let this standout piece be the cornerstone of your decor, proving that functionality and elegance can coexist harmoniously.

A few months ago we asked our designers to create flatlays for inspiration, and we even found these tones popping up there as well. In her design, Anne expertly balances shades of blue and green, layering different tones and patterns to add depth and visual interest. The result is a visually stunning flatlay that captures the essence of serenity and natural beauty, offering inspiration for creating a tranquil and stylish space.

This fresh palette has me dreaming of a day spent in a lush, green garden under the clear blue skies. When creating her flatlay design, Anne was inspired by a rug sample we had just received at the shop, and she built her design around the dark blues and golds found in the piles. Allowing the details of the space to do the talking, she kept the larger pieces of furniture on the more neutral side. A cream sofa, soft blue herringbone chairs, and a caramel leather ottoman were imagined as ruling the room. Building on that soft foundation, Anne added color and pattern through the pillow selections and window panel fabric choices.

Embrace the freshness of a new color palette as we explore the art of decorating your home using blue and green. This vibrant combination offers a fresh spin on the classic blue and white look, infusing your space with a renewed sense of energy and modernity. Even the most sophisticated designs take on a refreshed appearance when adorned with this captivating colorway. While it doesn’t necessarily resemble traditional chinoiserie, the versatility of this trend allows it to seamlessly adapt to various design styles. Whether your aesthetic leans towards traditional, transitional, or modern, the blue and green palette can be effortlessly incorporated, breathing new life into your decor.

So, get ready to embark on a creative journey where this dynamic duo takes center stage, rejuvenating your home with a vibrant and timeless appeal.
