However, you should avoid combinations that will give an impression of a cacophony of colours or will make the room seem dark and gloomy. Be moderate when composing green with bright colours, with violets and vivid orange, as the final effect can be overwhelming. Combinations that might seem attractive on clothes can simply tire you in the apartment after some time. Also, avoid combining green with very dark shades of grey and graphite – the whole may seem devoid of energy and life. Unless your goal is to create a slightly darker, more subdued atmosphere.

Remember that everything depends on you and your sense of aesthetics. It is essential that you feel comfortable in your own home. After all, you will spend time there, right?
