The Best Way to Update Forest Green

If you still have forest green sofas from the 80’s, this avocado green will go a long way to updating your living room! Doesn’t it look amazing here?

One could argue that this is the new Kelly Green but it looks pretty forest green to me! Of course the nail head trim on the doors scream old money, but still – the yellowy green gives it the lift you need especially in a hallway.

See how it’s the fresh green that works in a room with no natural lighting? It’s a gray green that would dull it down as most people don’t have their lights on in a hallway during the day. However, if you have a dark corner in your living room, please, place a lamp there, as I mentioned in this post. Don’t just paint that dark room a pale colour, as you will not get the result you are looking for.
