By now we’ve all enjoyed a big Christmas dinner and it’s now time for a little mint– the colour, that is. Light greens are said to be soothing colours and these two dining rooms look very comfortable, indeed. The left room is a more intense interpretation of incorporating mint into decoration, while the right is more subtle, with little hints of green here and there. I like the idea of using botanical images for the art in these rooms. Botanicals work best in groups, so I’ve put together a few examples in sets of two.
