Beautiful living room.
The following photo presents us with an English-style living room. Proportionally arranged furniture, consisting of two corner sofas placed opposite each other, upholstered in natural fabrics of a deep dark shade, coffee tables in the form of chests, a fireplace made in strict black, the same strict and laconic cabinets with open upper shelves – all this speaks of the brutality of the room, which does not tolerate any sentimentality. But this is not the case. Bright green spots in the form of curtains on the windows, carpet on the floor, pillows on the sofa, and differing from each other in shades, but with similar prints, dark, juicy color on the back wall of cabinets dilute the rigor and conciseness, adding cheerfulness to the overall interior.

We offer several options for the design of the bedroom in light green color.
Do not be afraid to use a lot of light green color. Furniture and accessories will smooth out the monochrome and monotony. Here is an example of a minimalist bedroom design. The walls are painted in a light green color, close to lime. The bed is without frills, very simple lines, with contrasting black and white design. The bedside table is made in the same style. Natural light coming from a large window is complemented by a desk lamp with a simple shade. The walls are combined with a white ceiling and beige floor. Minimalism emphasizes a simple snow-white carpet without a single hint of ornament or pattern. The decorations of the room are a large potted plant on the floor and a picture above the headboard of the bed, emphasizing the naturalness of the basic color of the interior. Nothing superfluous, but a successful combination of colors without unnecessary decor and accessories creates a free, airy space.
