Cream is a versatile neutral that feels bright and airy against rich green walls.
Whether you opt for an off-white almond cream or a warmer antique cream, various shades of cream balance out the boldness of kelly green or forest green paint.
Try a cream linen sofa and matching lounge chairs to give the room a breezy, relaxed feel.

Add in cream ceramics like round vases decorated with green leaves, large freeform bowls in a cracked glaze finish and aged terracotta planters brimming with trailing ivy for a nature-inspired element.
Don’t be afraid to layer in different cream textures and tones – varying the shades and materials such as nubby linens, smooth velvets, woven textures and distressed leathers makes for a richer, more collected look than flat one-note cream.
