This beautiful living room designed by Tobi Fairly of Little Rock, Arkansas recently featured here and on Odi et Amo had me thinking about one of my favorite colors, green. Last year, I featured a post on living rooms in the hue of green and wanted to share some more great examples.
Speaking of Tobi Fairly, she was recently interviewed on The Skirted Roundtable. Tobi is so talented and charming too.
Lauren Liess, an interior designer and fellow blogger of Pure Style Home features green in her own living room shown above. She bought {scored} the Lee Industries sofa off Craigslist and had it reupholstered in a bright green velvet {her favorite color}. The sofa looks amazing paired with her lucite coffee table, table lamp from Pottery Barn and mirrored reproduction French flea market nesting tables from Crate & Barrel.
In this living room the designer {unknown - let me know if you know!} a traditional sofa in green looks sharp with coordinating graphic pillows. The white shag rug and glass round coffee table provide modern elements. The beautiful yellow blossoms behind the sofa adds height and pulls the yellow accent from the middle throw pillow and books on the side table. Photography by Anna Williams. 
Jonathan Adler creates a beautiful living room in a green, yellow and brown color scheme. The sofas are covered in kelly green which contrasts nicely with the yellow trim detail and white legs. Adler mixes vintage, modern and traditional styles with ease. I particularly like the dramatic floor length drapes, white lacquer coffee table and yellow and white geometric rug.
Interior designer, Pheobe Howard is known to use green throughout her creations. This gorgeous living room by Howard showcases green with both dark and light furnishings. The airy white upholstered sofa is beautifully contrasted with heavier dark wooden casegoods and carved chair. The pair of green and white geometric slipper chairs adds a fun contemporary element. I am also loving the natural bamboo stools!
The living room beautifully painted in leaf green by Billet Collins is reflected in a stunning over-sized mirror. To balance the color scheme, upholstered chairs and the rug are in a neutral white.
Do you love green too?
Love greens (especially lime) I find it a color that is so versatile even though not many people do. Great pictures
ReplyDeleteOh my dear I adore green ! I love all of these images, it's nice to see them again, they are some of my favorites! Funny thing, I have these olive green couches in my family room and I can't stand them ! Probably because I've had them for 10 years and there is no window in the room so it feels like a hunting lodge and not like a stylish room. I will be switching them out next month, whew ! But everything else green, gimme gimme gimme. :-)

Green has always been my number 1 color in all things! Love these rooms! Great ideas
ReplyDeleteGreen is so great to decorate with because it fits with every style. I have it all through my house. These are great pics. Thanks!

I've used more green in our "new" house than I originally intended, so now there's at least a little bit in every room. Our living room paint is Behr's Sagey, and my mom just made a green and cream valance for our half-bath. The Phoebe Howard room above is my favorite. I love the little sunburst mirrors above the armoire
ReplyDeleteI love that room by Phoebe Howard. I just want to reach into my computer screen and grab those slipper chairs.
ReplyDeleteReally nice post. I love all the photos. The rooms are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThere's something about the tone of the green in the Jonathan Adler room that I particularly like. Of course, it could just be the lighting!
Gorgeous rooms! I LOVE green!! And the first pic from Tobi Fairly's home is one of my all-time favorite rooms as well!
ReplyDeleteSo serene! My favorite is the room by Lauren Liess. I wish we could see more of it!

ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes! Oh how I love green! It's a color that's so underated! Girl, you made my day with this post :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are all killer rooms, Cristin. The second one from Pure Style Home is definitely going into my inspiration files (Lauren is SO talented). And thanks for the mention, btw!

Gulp. I'm here but feeling very out of place as for some reason my heart just isn't stirring for green right now - even in these updated shades that you show. I think maybe I overdid it in my last home and am now in need of a break. I do like that Phoebe Howard living room, though.
ReplyDeleteCristin- thanks so much for including my little LR in this beautiful round-up!! I LOVE all this green!!

I love your post and I do love green too. I didn't realize how often I pick green until my daughter pointed it out. I'm doing a design project for school and I picked green as the main color. In fact that's how I found your blog ~ looking for pictures on the internet of green drapery for my presentation boards. I'm your newest follower.
