Why Does Green Work Well in a Hallway?

Green instantly promotes a feeling of calm and serenity. When used in a hallway, it can help you leave the stresses of the day at your doorstep. 

Lighter green paints are also perfect for decorating a small space. Neutral wall paint will bounce around limited natural light, meaning a lack of windows doesn't need to be a problem.  

Green-infused colour schemes also allow you to take inspiration from nature. You can style notes from an outdoor space or use natural materials to put an organic stamp on your interior.
