Shades of Green
Forest greens are making a return along with soft earthy browns. From feature walls to furnishings green is in strong force. Subdued greens paired with marble, bronzed finishes, and the drapes of linen is an on trend combo that relies simply on pared-back design. Aesop’s latest German store designed by Belgian studio Vincent Van Duysen Architects in collaboration with PSLAB, is a simple interior using natural materials and a subtle palette.The walls and ceiling have been stripped back to their original state and clad in pale textured plaster, while the floor is tiled with bluestone.
Melbourne based studio Porcelain Bear create unique porcelain furniture, lighting and homewares that are beautifully considered, perfectly formed and finely crafted. There custom made cloche pendants and ceramic tiles for ‘Smalls Bar” are one of a kind. If you want to add some deep green with furnishings pick up the Nova bench by Studio Theresa Arns.
Smalls bar designed by the beautiful Fiona Lynch in South Melbourne is an intimate wine bar that screams character and soul. The space has a real effortless and kind of “thrown together” look which is partly achieved through the colour and materials palette – moody, muted putties, flat blues and concrete greys offset by the occasional glimmer of brass.
Have some fun with green marble with the Trevis triangle candle light colder green marble/brass by Louise Roe. Ferm Living’s latest Spring/Summer 2017 collection is one worth to check out, filled with forest subdued greens and delicate ceramics. The brand stays true to Scandinavian design traditions and blends retro charm with a distinctly graphic edge for a contemporary result. Remember when exploring forest greens in any interior it’s important to always lift the space with some warmth – brass or bronze are the perfect addition.
