Green & Greenery Styled Together in a Cute Apartment

August 14, 2018
  • Share

I love the color green.  It might be my favorite color. I use the word might.  Is it strange that I am not definitive on my favorite color?  I know I love the use of green in home decor or room design.  I know that if I had to pick between green and blue…I think my dear green would win.  But not sure.  Does that make me color fickle?  My bestie AM went through a pink period (her entire NYC apartment was white and pink and she has a husband) and now she is in her blue period (like Picasso but not like Picasso).  My sis DS seems to lean towards autumnal tones in her home decor.  My grandmother loved yellow so she had an entirely yellow kitchen.  I LOVE green.  Why am I not able to commit to it in home decor…go all in?  Well, this adorable fresh green apartment made me start to think about making some bold green moves in home decor.  I have the whole COCOCOZY Design House to decorate…should I just do it in shades of green (kidding but not kidding but kidding)?

Love this view. Greenery in the form of a house plant and the green tree top view from outside the window are perfection.

The indoor plants: Philodendron (low plant on the floor to the left) and Ficus tree (dead center) are great plants for indoors.

What does green mean to me?  Green is most commonly associated with nature, springtime and hope. For me, green feels fresh and happy.  In my current house, I wake up every morning looking out on a hillside expertly planted with a variety of magnificent green plants – I wake up to a wall of green every morning and love it.  Makes me so cheerful and happy.  Can’t be a bad thing to add a little green where you live

There are three ways to bring green inside:

  1. Paint – Paint walls, cabinets or any hard surface green.
  2. Furnishings, accessories or decor items – An upholstered sofa, a green throw blanket or pillow, a
  3. Plants – Adding indoor plants into the mix will instantly add green and life to a room

    Dear Coco,
    Would you please write a design book? A big coffee table-style book with gorgeous photos and your funny + honest design style and sensibility. I think it would be very successful. I know I would buy it.
    I absolutely love your taste, it is always very,very good, even if it isn’t your own personal style it is the best look.
    Thank you for entertaining and enlightening me for interior design and all-around clothing, floral, table settings….everything.

    I love it, but I’m bias because I love green (and greenery). This looks great, keep the party going!

    I love that green sofa and would love it in my home (the hubs, not so much,lol) and I am toying with the thought of dark green cabinets in our kitchen. Go with your heart, be bold, be fearless. Your decor is always gorgeous 🙂
