Sweet Dreams in Palm Beach

“Green is often a neutral for me,” says 2013 Detroit Home Design Awards Rising Star Anne Strickland, of PORT Mfg. & Design. She fashioned this Palm Beach, Fla., bedroom in an ocean of green, from walls to bedding. “We wanted a fresh, springy green — not too mossy, since it’s oceanside,” says Strickland, whose business is based in Birmingham. “These tones aren’t too passive or too muted, and definitely not juvenile or too sweet.”

“When working with green paint, know that it goes on darker — so opt for a shade lighter than you think you need.” — Anne Strickland
