Bring the outdoors in with fresh shades of green. Green is the perfect colour to use in living rooms and bedrooms, as it has a cool, calming effect on the eye, so it is great for rooms where you want to relax.

• Open up a small space by linking inside and out with co-ordinating shades of green.
• A fresh leaf design on wallpaper and fabric, teamed up with a green upholstered couch will give a room a light and airy look.
• Transform a room in an instant with some pretty green accessories. Most home improvement stores have a wide range of home décor at very attractive prices.
• A soft shade of green and oversized patterns on wallpaper and fabric add interest without overpowering a room.
• Replace heavy, dark, boring and plain drapes with lightweight striped fabric.
• Opt for Venetian blinds in juicy green to revive the look of your room.
• This season, bright green is the hottest shade. Use it with white to keep the scheme clean and airy, mix it with greys and silvers for a sleek look or with rustic browns for a more natural, organic style.
• Green is great for bringing the outdoors in, so use in a room that has doors to the garden to make the room seem larger and lighter.
• Wood complements all shades of green perfectly. Mix with oak for a classic look, darker wood for a striking contrast or pale beach for a light seaside feel.
• An easy way to introduce touches of green to freshen up a scheme in an instant is by adding plants and greenery such as ferns, eucalyptus and succulents.

So go ahead get into the green this season!
