Mint green: the best color-combinations to enhance every room in your home
Green represents nature and harmony and for this reason, it has always been a popular choice for interior painting and decoration.
Mint green, in particular, was a very popular shade of green used in interior design from the 1920s to the 1950s and, these days, can give your home a vintage and retro look - depending on how you use it.
So, what colors can be combined with mint green? The answer depends on the effect you want to achieve: most pastel colors and neutrals go well with mint green, but you can also create wonderful contrasts with darker colors.
