The quick Scoop
Why green, why now
Searches for forest-themed home decor on Pinterest are up 400 percent month over month, and deep green suits the season: it sits comfortably next to wood, cream and brass. It also works in small doses, which makes it an easy first step.
Where to put it
Start low
An ottoman at floor level brings the color in without taking over. Keep the sofa neutral so the green reads as a choice.
Add something that catches light
Glass holds green well because the color shifts as the light changes. A bowl on the coffee table does the work of a plant.
Repeat it once
Echo the color in one more place, such as a lamp on a side table, so the room feels planned.
