‘Emerald green packs a full but at the same time an understated punch. It can transport you to the cool tiled floors of Marrakech or to the traditional drawing room of a late 18th-century Georgian mansion, and it’s being used more and more in interiors today. This colour works with anything and is bang up to date.’
DAVID HARRIS, design director, Andrew Martin
‘Don’t fight a room being small and dark: often it works really well to embrace strong colours instead. A striking yet warm green on the walls will have the effect of creating an intimate and cosy space.’
KATHARINE PARAVICINI, founder, Katharine Paravicini Interior Design
