Mint green is the perfect colour to create a luxurious looking room. For this look it’s best to go big with decorative rugs, fabrics and wallpapers. So dive into those Chinoiserie style fabrics and wallpapers that hark back to the exuberant style of Chinese and East Asian arts. Or indulge in a hint of rococo inspired furniture that won’t fail to guild your home with decadence.

Paint walls or find light fixtures in tones of grey, white and oatmeal. This will help give you a space that’s inviting, fresh and airy. For the floor, natural woods or wooly carpets are best; as they will add some much needed warmth while keeping that minimal feel.
