Colour has significant influence on how we feel. It can evoke specific reactions in our mindset and mood, carrying into our daily activities and affecting our approach to life. Green is one of those familiar colors that naturally paints our world.
It represents everything from tranquility to abundance in the form of green grass, healthy foods and the color of currency.
For the month of August and the beginning of spring we feature Laurel Tree. With its restorative, herbal vibe it speaks to both wellness and outdoor influences.
On living room walls and molding Laurel Tree creates a relaxing atmosphere ideal for unwinding with a good book, catching up with friends or streaming your favourite show.
In the bedroom Laurel Tree imparts a restful mood that’s perfect for recharging and getting a good night’s sleep. It also feels uniquely inspiring and uplifting in the morning when sunlight shines in, making it a wonderful colour to kick-off the day.
With the vital link that green has to health and wellness, Laurel Tree is ideal as a bathroom accent. It pairs perfectly with the element of water and establishes a space that feels peaceful and comfortable.
Green is an excellent colour to help with focus, making it a terrific wall colour for office spaces. With its visual richness Laurel Tree evokes an air of success without pretense and provides a backdrop for inspiration, productivity, and accomplishment.
Green kitchens have become all the rage in the last couple of years and its popularity shows no signs of stopping. A lush green is the perfect colour for the room where family and friends like to gather – the kitchen. With its strong connections to freshness and good cooking, Laurel Tree is ripe for use in the kitchen. It is the perfect green to accompany a variety of tastes and flavors.
Weather allowing, who doesn’t love to dine outside? But if lucks not on your side you’re going to have to take the party inside. In our busy lives we may pass up that chance, but colour can give the impression of another world. In this scene Laurel Tree evokes a sense of being in the garden. It elevates the appeal of a simple breakfast nook with its natural light and views beyond the window.
