The color green has healing power and is understood to be the most restful and relaxing color for the human eye to view. Green can help enhance vision, stability and endurance. It is a natural choice in interior design as an ideal background or backdrop because we as humans are so used to seeing it everywhere. If you want to make a retreat in your home, where you can relax and refresh yourself, decorate that room or corner with green color. But try doing it with more raw shades of green, similar to the ones you see out in the nature, such as olive green or khaki.
