AAs the primary shade of most things found

in nature, decorators and homeowners use

shades of green to bring the beauty of the

earth’s natural landscapes indoors. The color

offers the utmost versatility, with many

shades to satisfy all tastes. Whether your

style is traditional with rich forest green,

or minimalist with muted mossy green,

or modern with shades of bold lime, most

experts agree that green is one of the most

popular color choices for interior design.

With its reputation for having soothing

and restful qualities, it’s no wonder Katy

homeowners are crazy for green this spring.
