Zen Home Decor: Green & Gold Decor For A Peaceful Home

Saffron Marigold - Updated: October 3, 2023

Alternatives to Memories of Shalimar

This elegant print has been discontinued, but we have other collections that evoke the same sense of peace as Memories of Shalimar. In particular, Woodland Ferns and the Enchanted complementary print (CP) both celebrate nature in different ways, the former a woodland-inspired landscape, and the latter a snapshot of an abundant magical meadow à la art Noveau style. Last but not least, consider Moonlit Taj for another India-inspired print. Elegant like Memories of Shalimar, our Moonlit Taj collection takes cue from the Taj Mahal’s stunning marble inlay studded with semi precious stones.

Green curtains: the natural choice in zen home decor

With gold and green curtains at the windows, you’ll feel as if you’re surrounded with a verdant garden, and what could generate more zen feelings than a garden? Add coordinating gold and green throw pillows for a harmonious design.  Complete the room with zen home decor inspired by the glow of a summer evening: amber glass, natural wood, and green ceramic help recall moments spent in the long, lush hours of summer.

A zen bedroom for peaceful slumber

Carry the idea of zen decor into your bedroom. Since the bed is usually the focal point for most bedrooms, start there. Green and gold bedding looks is timeless and seasonless: it looks good all year long. Choose a green duvet cover to keep you warm in cold weather and switch to a green bedspread in summer months. Whichever way you style it, our Memories of Shalimar collection is filled with elegant bedding options.  Include elements that promote romance, relaxation, and peace, and let mossy green curtains float from the windows as an of echo of the view out doors.

Bring zen home decor in for a peaceful bath space

The bath is a naturally zen room: water washes away the day and renews our spirits.  Treat this room as your personal spa and approach its decorations mindfully. After all, most bathrooms are small and overcrowding a small room breeds anxiety, not peace. Choose a fabric shower curtain, and top the windows with green valances to mimic the treetops out the window. Add decorative accents to achieve your zen design.

Green and gold decor is a beautiful balance of zen home decor, luxury, and natural beauty. With a new green and gold tablecloth, wooden bowls, and just-picked flowers on the table, you’ll create a welcoming table setting for yourself and for your guests.

Mix and match with Saffron Marigold

Just the phrase zen home has us feeling lighter.  You, too? You may be wondering what other colors and patterns will complement Memories of Shalimar.  Here are a few mix and match ideas that are guaranteed to coordinate beautifully with our green print: 

Saffron Marigold

Pacific Blue

With its creamy blue and white pattern,  our Pacific Blue print pulls from the blue in Memories of Shalimar.  The dark blue grounds the meadow green; together, one can find elements of earth and water (or land and sky). Blend these patterns  to create an understated bohemian look.

Saffron Marigold

Bridal Veil

Here’s a way for you to mix similar patterns effortlessly. This sheer white curtain with gold accents reads as gentle and polished when used alongside Memories of Shalimar.  Both collections feature a floral emblem and gold paste accents, and neither print contains any competing colors. 

Saffron Marigold

Celestial Embrace White

If you feel your style is best described as ‘earthy,’ then you’ll want to mix in a few pieces from our Celestial Embrace collection with your Memories of Shalimar. Vintage and airy, Celestial Embrace feels dreamy on its own, but paired with our green collection, it’s out of this world. 

Saffron Marigold

Mystic Amethyst

Pansies, violets, and orchids show us just how purple and green can join together in the most agreeable way.  Taking a cue from nature, we pair Mystic Amethyst with green Memories of Shalimar for a space to feel beautifully bohemian and otherworldly.
