1. The power of color in the perception of spaces
Every space communicates through color. It's a silent yet powerful language, capable of influencing mood, concentration, and even the perception of a room's size.
In contemporary design, color choice has become a fundamental part of the planning process: colors no longer serve merely to "decorate," but to create sensory experiences and identities.
Green, in particular, represents a universal symbol of balance and rebirth. Adding it to spaces—through plants, fabrics, or preserved moss—instills calm, freshness, and a connection with nature. However, not all greens are the same: each shade conveys different sensations and tells a distinct story.
2. Stabilized green as a visual language
MossHouse's preserved green isn't a single color, but a natural palette . From the light, bright green of lichens to the dark, deep tones of forest moss, each shade has its own character, its own visual personality.
In a bright living room, a light green can amplify the light and convey positive energy; in an elegant or industrial-style space, an olive or forest green can add depth and sophistication.
Preserved greenery thus becomes a means of expression: not just a decorative element, but a tool for defining the style and emotional "tone" of a space.
The unique feature of preserved moss is that it doesn't reflect light like paint or fabric , but rather absorbs it softly, creating a velvety, three-dimensional visual effect. This makes each color more authentic, closer to the sensation of the vivid green of the forest.
3. The different shades of green and their meanings
Every green has its own voice. Choosing the right shade means deciding what emotion you want to convey in that space:
🌿 Light green: dynamic, fresh, and vibrant. Perfect for creative spaces, showrooms, or living areas.
🌱 Medium/Natural Green: Balanced, welcoming. Ideal for homes, offices, or meeting rooms where visual balance is needed.
🌳 Dark/forest green: elegant, deep, relaxing. Great for sophisticated spaces, hotels, restaurants, or lounge areas.
🪴 Lime green: refined and neutral. Pairs well with warm woods and natural stone, perfect for minimalist design spaces.
Understanding these nuances helps transform green into a narrative code , capable of making each project unique and consistent with the identity of those who live in it.
4. Color combinations: palettes and materials
True balance comes from the dialogue between colors and materials. Preserved green easily pairs with natural woods, satin-finish metals, and neutral stones, but its character can change depending on the chosen palette:

5. How MossHouse Interprets Color in Natural Design
At MossHouse, color isn't just an aesthetic choice, but an integral part of the brand's narrative and the space itself . Each project stems from a careful study of light, proportions, and the message you want to convey.
Choosing a green wall means choosing an emotion to evoke: serenity, energy, prestige, or creativity.
The shades of the preserved moss and lichen are selected to complement the client's identity—whether it's a private home, a shop, or a company that wants to communicate sustainability and attention to detail.
Color thus becomes the bridge between design and well-being , between aesthetics and nature.
