Often associated with tranquility, opulence and confidence, green color is a likely choice when designing a modern interior. The color and its wide spectrum of hues that range from bold to subdued tends to make a memorable statement as it is seen with Bonaldo’s 2011 introduction, the Melt sofa collection by Mauro Lipparini.
Green color can be added as an accent to an all-white palette, or an earthy palette of neutrals through a side chair such as the Apollo by Patrick Norguet for Artifort.
