How You Can Use It

“Although this living room has a few windows, the light wasn’t enough to make the long, narrow space feel happy. Luckily, my husband and I aren’t afraid of color! Paired with bright white trim, acid green feels amazingly energetic. Visitors have always been surprised by the choice — in a good way.”
