The Greens and Blues in This House Are Anything but Predictable
The Design Social House in Atlanta proves that these beloved colors can still feel fresh.
When it comes to decorating your home, blue and green are pretty safe bets for adding a dose of color while still keeping your space feeling like a retreat. Colors like red and yellow are associated with excitement and passion, while blue and green are associated with nature (think: the hues found near an ocean, forest or meadow). In today’s hectic world where we’re required to be “on” all the time—at work, on our phones and more—it can be a nice reprieve to come home to a calming color scheme that brings a bit of the natural world inside our four walls.
While we’ll never give up completely on our bold colors (after all, this is VERANDA), we’re also loving the major moment that blue and green are having in interiors right now. Most recently at the Design Social House in Atlanta, nearly every room had some aspect of blue and/or green in it.
This is significant given that the homeowner, Gregg Irby, who owns Gregg Irby Gallery in Atlanta, worked with 23 different creatives with vastly different design aesthetics. (You can find out more about these brands and makers via Design Social.)
Here, some of our favorite ways that blue and green were used throughout this home. We're predicting this color combination's comeback will have major staying power.
