Dream in Green

This season’s coolest interiors trend, really does bring the outdoors in…

If you’ve had even the briefest browse on Pinterest or flicked through an interiors magazine in the last few months, chances are you’ll have identified a common theme—a whole lot of green.

More impactful than omnipresent grey, but with a classic, never-date feel, green the kind of versatile shade you can use throughout the home, in a multitude of ways, regardless of your personal aesthetic. From olive-painted cabinetry in your kitchen to a ceramic plant pot on your windowsill, there’s so many ways to incorporate this versatile hue into your home.

Green, however, doesn’t only look the stylish part, but it can have a profound impact on your mental wellbeing, too. Research shows the brain instinctively associates the colour with nature and, as such, can have calming, stress-easing effects. Which is precisely what we need right now, when so many of us are still WFH.

So here are the chicest paint shades to introduce some more green into your interiors. Whether you choose to paint a feature wall (yup still entirely acceptable), above or below a dado or picture rail, or tape off a geometric shape, a splash of green - no matter the hue - will help soothe your soul.
