Re: COLOR QUESTION-- GREEN BACKGROUNDS OR GREEN DECOR?

I like both.  This is the wallpaper in my entry.

I've always thought of green as one of my least favorite colors (although it's better than orange) and I don't have any in my house -- not anywhere and not in any form.  However, I have noticed my tastes changing over the years.

 

I actually like every single picture posted.  Those green velvet dining room chairs are sumptuous and that bedroom is absolutely gorgeous.  I'd be happy to have either in my home.  

 

Edited to add:  A green/blue combo is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.  I love these two colors together.

@Citrine1 I've always thought of green as my least favorite color in decor, too, but my current house has so much green seen through the windows that green ended up being a major color choice for me.  That said, there are still no walls painted green, but there is green wallpaper in the entry as shown above.  Orange is still a "no" for me.

@Marsha2003   I love that wallpaper.  (I'm a big fan of birds!). I could imagine this in a powder room as well as an entryway (or a bedroom, for that matter).  Very pretty shades of green!

I like seaglass green color. I have it in one of the bathrooms.

I have Khaki color on the dining room with Cacti color below the chair rail. It's a bluish green.

I have a sage green on the walls in the bedroom. I think I have some green in every room.

All bedrooms are going to be painted Desert Fortress which looks like a light tan color on our walls. Have already painted half the house with it.

Re: COLOR QUESTION-- GREEN BACKGROUNDS OR GREEN DECOR?

I like the color green on walls, furniture, and in accessories, but not all at the same time. 😉


I've used pale green and olive green as wall colors. I've had green printed sofas, chairs, bedspreads, artwork, and pillows. I also like live greenery in some of my rooms. 

 

I like the rooms pictured in #4, #7, #8, and #11.
#3 is too much green for me

It's my favorite color; my preference is cool and vibrant greens, medium to dark.

 

Love that dark teal kitchen.

 

I like green as an accent wall, in decor, and on furniture - i.e.: a deep green velvet sofa.

 

Also in furnishings -  i.e.: towels, a shower curtain, a teakettle, a quilt, a throw. blanket.

Re: COLOR QUESTION-- GREEN BACKGROUNDS OR GREEN DECOR?

Green decor, not green background.

 

I love having pieces to change out with the seasons, and a colored background is just too much committment for me.

 

Especially love photo 12.  Typifies my decorating style. 

 

I do love green in spring and at Christmas time.  Some of the most pleasing Christmas decorating I have done have been green, white, and black.

What @stevieb said. Heart

 

When we moved out here 30 years ago, our sofa and loveseat were a deep green leather.

 

Love green leather and velvet. Heart

LOve your entry wallpaper, @Marsha2003 --  so lush!

 

@Nightowlz ,  rats, for some reason the image you evidently posted didn't appear on my feed, I wonder why.  It just says in words, "shower curtain, jpg".   But it sounds like you have a shower curtain in green?  Bet it's pretty!

 

Edited later to add:  Hey, @Nightowlz ,  now all of a sudden, your curtain is visible to me!  Very pretty!
