Who could forget Kermit the Frog’s “It’s Not Easy Being Green” song? Well, I don’t think Kermie would have a problem with any of these designer rooms in his signature color.
Designer Jonathan Adler, creates a fabulous colorful and eclectic sunroom for fashion designer, Liz Lange. It’s that green sofa and zebra rug that caught my eye. I love Adler’s collection of pillows on the sofa – needlepoint Love pillow, green concentric-squares pillows and Josef Frank’s Hawaii Brown pillows. He adds to the mix a modern Arne Jacobsen Swan chair from Design Within Reach.

This timeless living room by San Francisco-based designer, Palmer Weiss is formal yet friendly. The pinch-pleated drapes made of a silk fabric from Nancy Corzine are hung from Silk Trading Company’s antiqued gold rods. My favorite element in the room is the roll-arm sofa covered in a green Osborne & Little velvet. Weiss brilliantly layered a geometric design onto it using Samuel & Sons tape. Simply beautiful.

In designing this 1950s New York apartment living room, Jamie Drake wanted to evoke the style and beauty of one of the building’s famous tenants, Grace Kelly. The green palette is a nod to her Irish heritage. The living room walls are painted in Benjamin Moore’s Summer Lime and the trim in Mayonnaise. The Chloe tweed sofa from Drake’s furniture collection makes a most glamorous statement. The warm pair of chocolate slipper chairs from George Smith and coordinating patchwork leather rug by Edelman help anchor the room nicely.
This lovely seaside inspired living room was designed by Timothy Mather. The airy ceiling is painted in Benjamin Moore Serenity, while the earthy walls are coated in Benjamin Moore Fresh Cut Grass. The circle-back turquoise armchair is by McGuire and the ceiling-height drapes in Maxwell Fabrics. The geometric print rug by David Hicks in the room’s two signature colors pulls it all together beautifully. (thanks to Erin at House of Turquoise for pointing this one out!)
Hope these green living spaces inspired you too. ribbit! ribbit!
