Keep it Earthy
It’s evident that the desire to add something like the Fern Grotto colour to your home comes from one main place — a love of earthy tones. It’s called Grotto for a reason. The darker and grass-like shade of green matches very well when you fill the space you paint with other natural textures and colours.
Play with your furniture and accessories and accent this fabulous colour with mid-tone shades of natural wood. Your favourite pieces will truly pop in front of this backdrop.
Other fantastic matches for Fern Grotto are earth or other brown tones. Keep it natural and play with the colours of our wonderful planet.
Monochrome
If you look at something so wonderfully heart-warming like Fern Grotto, it’s essential that we avoid cluttering up the space in front of it, potentially dulling out the beauty of the green. To do this, playing within the monochrome style is a great key to keep in mind.
Being a mid-bright tone, the fantasy-like natural splendour that it brings means you can lean one way or the other when it comes to dark or light accents. It’s true, swinging for the fences with blacks or dark woods can be just as fabulous against this background. Just as palpably glowing as it would should you sway to lighter tones and whites.
Pick something monochrome and have plenty of fun putting together all the finishing touches of your room.
Natural Light
One important idea to keep in mind while exploring your options when you pick up a can of Fern Grotto is where you’re going to put it.
Given everything we’ve said so far, with the monochrome accents and heavy natural tones, there is one more bit of the outside that takes Fern Grotto from delightful colour to absolute wonder. And that is natural light.
The bright sunlight, and even a gloomy glow, will elevate your accented colour beyond what many designers have the ability to build with furniture and accessories.
With that thought on the agenda, picking a room or space in which you can let this colour bask in the daylight shine could mean a heavenly experience.
