Known for its cleansing qualities, Sage’s spiciness brings a feeling of serenity. But, the color of the shrub brings tranquility with it, too. The flowers that bloom from the bush are typically purple and blue, sometimes pink, red, and white. Bright-colored accents add vivid detail to your living room. Lying back on a red couch, hugging a pink pillow, and chilling with a rose wine sounds like utter perfection to me.

Homes don’t have break rooms in the traditional sense. But, it is the perfect way to describe a living room. Everyone comes together in one space after a long day, flops on the couch, and soaks up the comfortable atmosphere. Breaktime green feels roomy but also feels like a hug. If work break rooms were as wonderfully cozy, maybe I wouldn’t take off early. Okay, well, maybe I would.

We can’t just live under the sea. But, creating a living room that brings restfulness is ideal for any family, and doing it with Kelp Forest Green will have you floating in a sea of serenity.

Breathe (S360-2)

Breathing in and out sometimes feels automatic, but it doesn’t have to be. Every inhalation and exhalation comes easy when the walls are glossy with breathe green. Greenery creates oxygen, and Breathe Green is an easy-peasy color that gives you plenty of room for trouble-free breathing. The company of friends and family makes any room better, but with this hue, togetherness is a byproduct of relaxation.

Neptune Green (658)

Stargazers once thought Neptune was green, but we know now that it is an illusion. The classic color reflects Neptune’s deceptive beauty.

Hope, love, faith, and luck are shamrock’s blessings. I know I can use a little hand in each department, and it seems Shamrock Green is the right way to go for livening up the living room and bringing in a little Irish magic.

When you think of green, money is one of the first things that pop into your mind. Dollar Bill Green is as crisp as a new bill. The color of money pays off in spades.

Few people can make it to the rainforests of the Amazon. But, we all crave that lush green color and music-like sounds.

Living rooms often fall into the forgotten and neglected room category. In reality, it should be the centerpiece to the rest of the house. Center Stage Green showcases the room for Sunday football or random weekday fun days. Playful lighting adds a layer of spaciousness to any living area, but importantly, to your living room. Show off a little on center stage and do it with confidence.

Cozumel Green will coerce you into never leaving the warmth of your living room again. You don’t have to board a cruise ship to the Caribbean Sea to visit the untouched island of Cozumel.

It is hard to find two people with the same feelings about the taste of cilantro. But, there are reasons it is the most popular aromatic, unique herb in the world.

The hustle and bustle of city life make me pine for the sweet smell of the countryside. Country Green lends the fondness of meadows and peace to a living room in the middle of a concrete jungle. Busy days end in the comfort of your home with those you love most in a wash of soothing green. You can shut out the blaring noises and replace them with the sounds of calming wind and the whisper of leaves.
