On The Hunt For Green

What does green mean to Nikki Hunt? In this special feature, the award-winning interior designer and co-host of design show Come On In explains why she adores the colour and how it can be used in the home.

As a mix between yellow and blue, green acts as a bridge between stimulating warm colours and calming cool colours. It is the most balanced of all the colours of the spectrum, and what makes it so perfect for Singapore is how it evens out the yellow of our equatorial light to create an ambience that is always fresh, even in our hot and humid environment.

But what I love most about the verdant hue is its versatility. Over the years, I have used this colour to create a multitude of ambiences for a variety of rooms, each with their own brief and style. Styles and themes may vary, but green always brings a new energy to a room, whether you are creating a calm, natural space or a room that resonates with a rich drama.
