There are several options available to you:

  • A section of sage green wall in the living room or bedroom, in contrast with off-white walls.

  • Plant frames or botanical posters, for a light and graphic green touch.

Green furniture ideas:

  • A sage green linen armchair, in the living room or bedroom.

  • An olive green dining chair, combined with a light wood table.

  • A console painted in patinated green, for an old and elegant touch.

  • An upholstered pouf or bench in green plant fabric.

💡 Tip: Choose simple, classic shapes with noble materials like wood, matte metal or ceramic to stay in the Flemish spirit.

Textiles are a simple and effective way to play with colors without a definitive commitment. They also allow you to vary the textures, which is essential in the Flemish style, where tactile sensations contribute to the overall atmosphere.

Green textiles to be integrated:

  • Olive green or light khaki plaids on the sofa or at the foot of the bed.

  • Washed linen curtains in a grayish green, to filter the light gently.

  • Almond green bed linen combined with off-white and pearl gray.
