Throughout
the year, nature offers an abundance of beautiful colours that change with the seasons
– giving us a new perspective every time we set foot outdoors. Most obviously,
the leaves on trees change drastically through the months as part of a trees
natural annual changes. From vibrant greens to burnt reds, the colour changes
really are a wonder and something that we should all take a little time to
appreciate. We can even take inspiration from such natural colours as part of decoration plans for the home.
Although we
all see the changing leaves throughout the year, I am sure many of us have
wondered why this happens.
BBC Nature explains that leaves are made up of a number of chemical pigments
including chlorophyll and carotene. The chlorophyll is required as part of the
process of photosynthesis and when in contact with the sun shows lush green in
colour. During the year, as the weather changes and the days draw in, the
chlorophyll pigments break down revealing the yellow tinted carotene colouring
of a leaf. This colouring is always present but is masked by the brighter
greens that show during the warmer times of the year. It is because of this
process that we see and enjoy the beautiful shadings on individual leaves as
the seasons come and go.
Of course
when we think of trees and leaves, the majority of us will immediately think of
the colour green. It is a very organic colour that brings with it freshness and a level of purity. With home designs, the colour green
can be used to bring the feeling of the outdoors into the home. This is
commonly seen in the likes of conservatories and sun rooms which can make the
room seem to flow straight into a garden space but can be used within any room
to make it feel light and spacious.
From soft
minted greens to bold lime shades, there is sure to be a green to match all
room designs.
