The influence of green color on humans
Green color symbolizes nature and peace. Therefore, it has a calming effect on the human psyche. It is associated with nature and relaxation, so it has a relaxing effect on people. It is for this reason that green can often be found on the walls of hospitals and schools.
Many doctors and paramedics also wear green uniforms, which are intended to inspire confidence and reassure patients.
Green in the living room interior
A great idea for the living room is a combination of different shades of green with white. The room will visually expand and will not look overloaded with furniture, even if there is a lot of it. Different shades work as zoning: place a desk and a TV near a dark green wall, and sofas and storage furniture near a white and lime wall.

If you want a calmer palette, you should use a combination of dark olive color with a light beige shade. This combination creates a very cozy and calm atmosphere. White cabinets and a carpet will refresh such a living room.

To create a calm and unobtrusive atmosphere in the living room, there is another way: use a combination of gray-green colors in the interior. On the one hand, the atmosphere will become calming, on the other, the appearance of the room will gain style and originality. You can include white in such an interior in the form of curtains and small pieces of furniture.

For a more expressive living room design, it is better to choose colorful, bold combinations. This is not a bedroom where it is important to maintain a calm atmosphere - experiments are appropriate here. Decorate the interior in a combination of green and orange colors. One of the walls can imitate brickwork in a shade close to orange.

Against the backdrop of a green interior, are you shocked by the red furniture? In vain: a living room in this design will become very expressive and memorable. You just don’t need to use too much red—a sofa with a couple of armchairs is enough for a bright accent.

Do you want the most colorful look? Then a combination of several bright colors would be a great idea. Yellow, orange, red will harmoniously fit into the design with an abundance of green, even all at once. And so that the whole palette is noticeable in a colorful interior, distribute the colors: let the curtains and rug be red, and on the sofa alternate pillows in yellow and orange covers.

What colors does green go with?
It is necessary to understand what colors green is combined with in the interior of residential premises.
The classic combination is green and brown. But they give a muted effect, since both colors are suppressed, especially when it comes to matte surfaces.
To avoid this effect, you should choose a light shade of green, pastel or even a little bright. In combination with beige, the risk of darkening the color is much less.
Fresh, rich shades of green on interior walls are best combined with white, light beige, straw yellow, and blue. These colors will further enhance the quality of the greens and emphasize their freshness.
For those who like more intense color combinations, a combination of green and red is a good solution. Together they form a set that is energetic and classic at the same time.
Plants as a zoning technique
Vertical gardening is a good technique, including for a small apartment. When you need to visually separate different parts of the apartment, but so that they are at the same time visible, so that there is “air”.

When painting walls, it is very important to carefully consider the shade, as it will be the background for all other design elements.
List of plants for your home:
1. Dipsis yellowish, floor plant.
2. Monstera. Remember such popular beautiful large leaves, this is it.
3. Hamedorrhea. A small plant, somewhat reminiscent of dipsis, but smaller and neater.
These are just a few plant options that I personally liked. Everyone has their own taste, some like blooming flowers, while for others thick, juicy greenery is more important, so everyone chooses for themselves.
It is not at all necessary that the plants in the interior are just for beauty; it can be your personal small vegetable garden on a rack. It will grow basil, lettuce, onions, dill, mint, and whatever you want (within reason, of course), and you can even grow strawberries. It will be both beautiful and useful. All you need is a small shelf, soil, a few boxes, seeds, desire and time. But you will have a new hobby and space for experimentation.
There are also those who do not like to care for plants or do not know how, for them artificial plants have been invented that, by appearance, cannot be distinguished from real flowers. There would be nothing wrong with this if they weren't made of plastic, so this is not the best alternative, but it has its place.
Real flowers or artificial, useful or not, the main thing is that they create that coziness and feeling of happiness that we all need. It seems that anyone would like a piece of greenery in the apartment.

Green walls
With the right choice of shade for the walls, you can get a cozy interior. A soft and dull shade of green on the walls evokes a feeling of calm, harmony and security.
This color is especially recommended for people who are too excitable and overly active. This color helps make decisions, increases optimism and self-confidence.
Gray color in the interior of various rooms
The interior of many modern kitchens is designed in gray tones. This is due to the fact that this color hides dirt and becomes less visible compared to light tiles. Graphite gray emphasizes the shine and cleanliness of the kitchen.
Guests are usually greeted in the living room, and celebrations take place here. Therefore, there should not be a lot of gray in the room. It is better to decorate it with bright, rich colors. The steel color will provide balance to soften the bright finish.

Important! If there are a lot of dark colors in the room, it will create a depressing impression. Therefore, gray graphite is best used in conjunction with bright elements.
Bright colors are usually used in a children's room. If a child is hyperactive, a gray tint will help him calm down. To make the room look more cheerful, it is worth adding a few colorful, contrasting details.
Gray color is perfect for a work office. The steel shade is also called “office color”. Office employees must perform their work in a calm environment. Neutral color helps create a business atmosphere. If you choose the right shades, the office will take on a solemn look. For the bedroom, it is necessary to use a combination of gray with blue splashes in the interior.
A cool shade always emphasizes the sophistication of a room and its sophistication. To create home comfort, it is better to use warm colors. To make a room located on the north side warmer, it is advisable to add a little gray-olive tint.

The combination of emerald and gold gives an amazing luxurious effect. This is currently one of the hottest arranging trends.
Gray-green color in the interior
In this color, the interior should be simple, neat, but not devoid of sophistication. It can be in the Stalinist Empire or vintage style. A modern design with an emphasis on the color factor is also possible.
It is better to make the floor in such a room wooden or wood-like: parquet, laminate. Both tulle and heavy curtains will look good on the windows: both velvet and cotton. Choose elegant furniture, with curved legs, with decorative carvings, but excessive pretentiousness can spoil the overall picture. Upholstered fabric furniture with pillows and blankets is welcome. Closed cabinets are better; antiques will look good in them. The walls can be decorated with paintings of southern landscapes or racks of potted flowers. Flowerpots will look great in this interior. A gray-green room will be dark, so you need to make sure it is sufficiently lit. Use a chandelier and wall lights, preferably in a yellow shade.
Modern interiors in gray-green colors are minimalist. They have an emphasis on form. The color combination helps them create an atmosphere of calm and serenity. Often such combinations include brown, gray, dirty orange, soft pink, beige-yellow.

Nice color. Thanks to the combination with another color, you can easily turn it from business to casual and also simply create an effective image. gray-green + flamingo - a rich combination. I think peach and flamingo_peach should also look interesting.
