The multitude of green vegetation offers a variety of options for color schemes. Plants act as accents or complements to decor. Most flowering plants have colors other than green in the blossoms, fruit or even foliage. Incorporate some pure green plants or some with additional color in various areas of the room to achieve a balanced design. - If you have some blue, yellow or even white hues in your color scheme, incorporate some yellowish-green plants for some spots of color. A sweet potato vine has a bright, yellow-green shade. Use it to creep over the edge of a hall table or hang it in a container where you need some color in a vertical space. Coleus comes in several color varieties, including yellow and green.
- If you use touches of violet or lavender in your color scheme, incorporating plants that mix purple with their green foliage adds some color-continuity in bare spots in the room. Summer snapdragon has height to its shape and grape-scented blossoms. Place them on an orange windowsill to create contrast, or as cut stems for the dining table. The cut flowers are long lasting. For darker purple blossoms, saliva grows flowers in tall shoots.
- Achieve a natural look in your decor with light, neutral shades. Pair a design laden in white with bright green plants. They break up the areas that use large areas of white or cream shades. Ferns, bright grass plants and darker-hued rubber plants or banana leaf trees accomplish this task. Pair green plants with liberal use of natural wood. Light finishes, such as teak and bamboo, create the illusion of more space. Add texture and color with showy plants like lily, hibiscus or bougainvillea. They add color to the room but still allow the neutrals and wood to dominate.
