Green is a unique colour because it combines sophistication and richness with a sense of tranquillity and calm. Plus, it’s completely on trend right now – maybe unsurprisingly so, given that people around the world could probably do with quite a bit of healing energy at the moment.


South African colour expert Anne Roselt says “Green helps promote health, happiness and abundance. It also encourages you to be more sympathetic to others” – and she outlines the many further benefits of using shades of green in your home on her website.
Green is trending in fashion right now too, with every shade from apple to moss, acid to forest, featuring on catwalks – as well as on the pages of the world’s top fashion magazines. Take a look at this story about the appeal of mint green for example, or feast your eyes on the hundreds of beautiful images in this collection of green fashion on Pinterest.


Generally calming to the eye, green is also very easy to layer in multiple tones or shades when it comes to creating a colour palette for interiors. A deep emerald throw or quilt looks even more beautiful when layered with mint green bedding and some patterned scatter cushions in leafy greens. Essentially, it’s quite difficult to add too much green, whether you are updating your bedroom or rethinking a living space.

However, if you do feel like you need a complementary or contrasting shade to mix with your greens, the good news is that there are plenty of options here too. A pop of orange (as seen above) looks gorgeous with dark and emerald greens, while a variety of green shades look even better when juxtaposed with red or – for a really cool and modern look – a dusty, contemporary pink.
For even more inspiration for your green-on-green interiors, remember to take a look at all the gorgeous green spaces on Pinterest. And don’t forget that if all else fails, a vase of beautiful green leaves or a lush and leafy indoor plant is also a great way to add this life-enhancing trend to your home.
