Chartreuse – I love the word and its sound; so exotic and sophisticated. I’ve never actually tasted the liqueur though. It’s an incredible colour – the clear, bright green liquid looks slightly radioactive!

Used in interior decoration though, it’s striking but not to everyone’s taste. I think it looks great on a feature wall. If you’d like to give it a try, but don’t feel that brave, use it in small quantities in accessories – a throw here, a cushion there.

Pair it with sky blue, violet, concrete grey and natural shades. Doesn’t it look fabulous against the navy blue of the bathroom with roll top bath in the photograph at the bottom?

I think it’s a great colour for use in a bathroom or wet room. Just the thing to help awaken the senses during that morning shower!
