Color choices are important when it comes to setting the tone and atmosphere of an event. While some color combinations make sense, some choices don’t immediately spring to mind during the planning stages of an event. But a color combination that’s off the beaten path might be exactly what you need to make your event memorable.
White and green probably isn’t a combination that springs to mind automatically, but pairing the two colors together can transform any event space from ordinary to extraordinary. White is a trending color, and its simplicity and neutral base demonstrate elegance, sophistication, and versatility. The naturalness of green, which is ideal for the current biophilic design trend, brings in vitality and freshness.
Put the two colors together, and you have an effective combination for any event. In this article, we’ll discuss how the pairing of vibrance and simple elegance can be a refreshing part of your next event plan, and we’ll explore how CORT Events can help make it a reality.
Beyond Bland: Embracing the Sophistication of White
Some people may react to the choice of white as boring, but that’s far from the case. The versatility, cleanliness, and elegance of white make it timeless, and that’s why you can’t go wrong with white either as a base or accent color.
You can use white as a blank canvas that allows other design elements to stand out. Detailed patterns and colorful accents pop alongside white. For example, soft white seating options like the Baja Sofa and the Baja Chair allow the more colorful elements near them to shine.
White is a fitting color for high-end events, weddings, or corporate gatherings because it suggests sophistication and purity. It’s also a trending color because of its elegance and minimalism. Furniture pieces like the Chelsea Chair with Oak Tower Base and the Ventura Communal Cafe Table with White Top demonstrate the classic simplicity that makes white a bold and unique choice.
The Vitality of Green: Nature and Freshness
Green is another color that deserves to be at the forefront of your event planning in 2024. There’s so much that green has to offer as a base color or as a complementing or contrasting hue.
There’s no color that offers more of a connection with nature than green. It creates a natural and refreshing atmosphere that’s welcome whether you’re planning outdoor events or looking to bring a sense of the outdoors inside, which is why it works in tandem with the current trend of biophilic design. CORT’s impressive greenery selection allows you to easily make use of natural elements.
Green is also a remarkably versatile color, with various hues that bring their own different moods. Witness the unique shades of green that pieces like the Marche Swivel Ottoman in Forest Green, the Del Mar Tonal Rug in Moss Green, or the Solid Pillow in Moss Green bring to the table, each with its own feel and sense of style. Shades of green can be vibrant and energetic or calm and sophisticated.
Finally, green suggests environmental awareness and sustainability. Even subconsciously, green tones evoke a sense of oneness with the planet, which makes it an ideal choice for eco-aware themes.
Tips for Combining White and Green in Event Design
As you’ve seen, both white and green offer versatility as individual colors, so imagine the possibilities when you combine them in your event design. Just to share one example from the furniture pieces we’ve already met elsewhere in this article, the Baja Sofa and Chair set work in tandem with the Del Mar Tonal Rug, Moss Green Pillows, and Marche Swivel Ottoman to bring green and white together in an appealing combination. Bring in the Capri Cocktail Table as a neutral bridge between the greens and whites.
The combination of white and green brings balance and harmony, which is why it’s such a good pairing if you’re incorporating biophilic design principles. Introduce white as the base color for a clean, uncluttered look, and add touches of green for vibrancy and life. Bring in other neutral elements, such as wooden accent pieces, to help balance the two colors without drawing attention away from white and green as your main colors.
Add different textures and patterns in white and green to bring depth and interest to your design. The tactile nature of the various textures and patterns will stir the senses. Lighting can also enhance the colors. Use soft white lights for a warm, inviting glow against Forest Green Super Velour drapes or add green uplighting on white drapes with LED lighting.
